Apple's decision to drop support for certain Apple Watch models in watchOS 27 has sparked curiosity and raised questions about the company's strategy. The affected models, the original Apple Watch Ultra and the Apple Watch SE 2, both released in 2022, are not compatible with the latest watchOS update. This contrasts with Apple's approach to iOS 27, which will be available on devices as old as the iPhone 11. The discrepancy suggests that the technical limitations surrounding new Apple Intelligence features might be the reason for the reduced support. The focus on Siri in the WWDC keynote further supports this theory. However, Apple has confirmed that the Apple Watch Series 9 will be supported, and the company is expected to update its website accordingly. This development highlights the evolving nature of Apple's software and hardware support strategies, leaving users to wonder about the future of their devices.
