Apple Just Killed Your Apple Watch (For No Reason)

⌚️ Wristmate app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wristma... Apple just announced watchOS 27 at WWDC, and it quietly drops support for a huge chunk of the Apple Watch lineup - including the Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, the beloved Apple Watch Ultra 1, and the SE 2. In this video I break down exactly which Apple Watch models are losing support, why Apple appears to be drawing the line at the four-core neural engine, and how the chips inside the Series 8, Series 9, Series 10, Series 11, Ultra 2, and Ultra 3 factor into the decision. We also dig into the Series 9 and Ultra 2 confusion, whether the new on-device Siri really needs this hardware, and why so much of watchOS 27 is really just performance improvements that any watch on watchOS 26 could use. If you own an affected Apple Watch, don't panic - your device will keep running watchOS 26 and stay perfectly usable for years. But if you want the latest release, now is the time to speak up. Apple has changed its mind during betas before, and I'll show you the best ways to send feedback before the September release. I also share a quick look at the new launcher and single-tap feature, plus a serious warning about why you should NOT install the developer beta on your main watch. Drop a comment with your thoughts - should Apple bring these watches back? 00:00 Apple Killed Half the Apple Watch Lineup 00:15 Which Watches Are Getting Dropped 00:35 Why Dropping the Ultra 1 Is Crazy 01:27 The Chips Explained: Chip 1 02:06 Chip 2 - A Big Leap 02:45 Chip 3 & the Series 10 03:47 Why It All Matters: Same Chip 04:23 The Series 9 & Ultra 2 Confusion 05:11 It's Really Just Performance Gains 05:49 So Why Is Apple Doing This? 06:47 How to Push Back to Apple 07:56 A Look at the New Features 08:39 Don't Install the Beta 09:21 Why This Move Is So Strange 10:05 Final Thoughts #watchos27 #applewatch #wwdc26 =================================================== My Equipment Cameras: Sony ZV-E10 II - https://geni.us/NW09IEM Main Lens: Sigma 16mm f/1.4 - https://geni.us/gLkhT Top Down Lens: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 - https://geni.us/lgflcT Third: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 - https://geni.us/7mRy Lights: Key Light: Amaran Verge Max LED Video - https://geni.us/ucYER Fill Light: Neewer 660 - https://geni.us/tHPjkEY Back Light Amaran 60ds - https://geni.us/xQyQC1 Godox Lantern Softbox - https://geni.us/dktQDk4' Rode Microphone - https://geni.us/TzrAtlL My Desk Setup Computer: https://geni.us/ATXgxA Monitors: https://geni.us/FXhVA Desk Mic: https://geni.us/KcBXVF Clock: https://geni.us/HtZT 3D Printer: https://geni.us/dBXyy8 iPad: https://geni.us/KAjxAiY Speakers: https://geni.us/GsXU Follow me elsewhere:   / theapplebias   Visit my site: http://www.applebias.com Most of the links above are affiliate links.
