Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 are here, and later this year they’ll get even more powerful with two new features: Siri Recap and Live Rewind. Here are the details.
#1: Siri Recap
Siri AI is a major tentpole of watchOS 27, and later this year there’s a powerful Siri addition coming to Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. It’s called Siri Recap.
Here’s what it does, per Apple:
Siri Recap seems like the kind of feature that no one was necessarily asking for, but it could add valuable utility if the privacy protections are done right. You can read the finer details around privacy in Apple’s white paper here.
#2: Live Rewind
Live Rewind is another ‘Audio Intelligence’ feature coming to the new Apple Watch models later this year. It provides a more direct way to revisit something that was just said.
Here’s how it works per Apple:
Like Siri Recap, Apple has in-depth details on Live Rewind’s privacy protections outlined here. For me personally, the utility of Live Rewind seems less obvious beyond accessibility needs. But I’m interested to see how it works in its finished form.
Apple is expected to introduce both new Apple Watch features in watchOS 27.3, which should launch in beta very soon.
