    New iPhone announcements are usually combined with new Apple Watch announcements, but if there is something, the watch has changed even less than the iPhone has in recent years.

    The Apple Watch Series 11 does not get an increase in the screen size – the series 10 struck things on a smidge last year, from 41 and 45 mm to 42 and 46 mm. But the screen will apparently have a higher maximum brightness – always useful for the visibility from outside – and there will be a modestly improved Apple S11 chip on the inside.

    The Instap Apple Watch S apparently is also an upgrade. The current Second-generation SE still uses an Apple S8 chip and Apple Watch Series 4 era 40 and 44 mm screens that do not always support on processing. In other words, there is enough that Apple could upgrade here without being able to sell the mainstream series 11 -watch.

    Finally, after missing an update last year, Apple is said to be planning to deliver a new Apple Watch Ultra, with the larger screen of 46 mm from the 10/11 watches series and the same updated S11 chip as the regular Apple Watch. The current Apple Watch Ultra 2 already has a clearer screen than the series 10-3,000 nits, an increase of 2,000 – so it is not clear whether the screen of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 would be Also Become brighter or if the screen of the 11 series only gets a brightness boost to match what the ultra can do.

    Smart Home, TV and Audio

    Although iPhones and Apple watches are usually a lock for a September event, other products and accessory updates are also possible.

    Of these, the most controversial profit is probably a renewal for the Apple TV 4K streaming box, which would be the first update in three years. Rumors suggest that the main upgrade for a new model would be an Apple A17 Pro chip, introduced for the iPhone 15 Pro and also used in the iPad Mini 7. The A17 Pro is linked to 8 GB RAM, making it the smallest and cheapest chip in Apple that is capable of apple intelligence. Apple has done nothing directly with Apple Intelligence on Apple TV, but to date that is partly because none of the hardware is possible.
