Apple bets on Siri AI with watchOS 27 and a center-stage app grid

Apple announced watchOS 27, introducing Siri AI with a dedicated app that can carry conversations across devices and perform actions in apps, plus a new dynamic app grid that centers the Siri app. It also adds health/fitness tweaks (including improvements to Workout Buddy and expanded perimenopause notifications) and system refinements like widget suggestions, faster music playback, battery optimizations, improved Find My, and a new tap gesture for widget selection. The update will roll out this fall to Apple Watch Series 9 and newer (including Ultra 2/3 and SE 3); a beta will arrive later this year, and Siri AI won’t (yet) reach iOS/iPadOS in the EU. A June correction notes support is for Series 9 and newer, not Series 10.

Modular Ultra gets a simpler makeover for smaller Apple Watches in watchOS 27

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports watchOS 27 will simplify the Apple Watch Ultra’s Modular face so it can run on smaller Apple Watch models by removing the central large complication area and the top row of three small complications, resulting in a less information-dense display that still features a large clock in the upper portion with a lower row of three complications; Apple is also introducing the Pride Luminance face as part of watchOS 26.5.
