Apple has released iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1, restoring the Blood Oxygen feature for U.S. users on Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2, following a patent dispute resolution enabled by a U.S. Customs ruling.
watchOS 26 introduces a new feature that automatically adjusts the volume of notifications based on ambient noise, aiming to reduce disruptive alerts for users with compatible Apple Watch models like Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2, potentially allowing some to turn off Silent Mode for audible alerts.
watchOS 26 upgrades the latest Apple Watch models to the full arm64 architecture, replacing the previous arm64_32, which allows for better performance and compatibility, while older models like the Apple Watch SE (2nd gen) and Series 8 continue to use arm64_32. Developers need to build apps supporting both architectures, with a gradual shift towards native arm64 for newer hardware.
watchOS 26 introduces a new wrist flick gesture for Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2, allowing users to dismiss notifications, calls, and alarms hands-free by simply flicking their wrist, utilizing the watch's accelerometer, gyroscope, and machine learning. The update is currently in developer beta, with a public beta expected in July and a full release later this fall.
