"watchOS 11: Enhancing Health and Fitness with New Features"

Apple's new Training Load and Vitals app for WatchOS, currently in beta, offers features for endurance athletes like effort rating and overnight vitals tracking. While the Training Load system allows for post-workout adjustments and better accounts for long, low-heart-rate activities, it has some quirks like not learning from past logs and not showing exact values. The Vitals app tracks overnight metrics but needs improvements in responsiveness to poor sleep. Overall, the features are promising but require tweaks before the final release.

"Resolving the Apple Watch 'Ghost Touch' Issue and Passcode Feature"

Apple is investigating an ongoing "ghost touch" issue affecting Apple Watch Series 7, Series 8, and first-generation Ultra models, causing the devices to act as if the display is being tapped when it isn't. Despite advising service providers not to replace affected units, Apple suggests affected users restart their devices and stay updated on watchOS software updates. The problem has rendered some devices unusable, particularly on the passcode screen, and users are hoping for a prompt software fix from Apple.
