  • Compatibility for watchOS 27 is limited to 5 models from 2024 and 2025, excluding 6 older devices including the Apple Watch Series 9 and first-generation Apple Watch Ultra.
  • Public beta access begins next month ahead of the full fall release, though Apple Intelligence features require pairing with an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max for full functionality.
