New Apple Watch With Touch ID and More Uncovered in Leaked Code

[quietstormSD]

I need face ID. And some kind of system where I can do stuff with my eyes. When I work out, I sweat, and my fingers get wet, it makes navigating the watch (such as pausing and restarting a workout) difficult sometimes.

I think a notch may make the watch a little weird, but censors underneath the glass should make it good. Come on Apple... chop chop

Apple Watch development IS SO @#$ING SLOW. They have painfully spread three product cycles worth of actual improvements over a full decade. I had such hopes for this product, but it's mind-numbingly boring at this point. If only Apple provided hooks for actual competition, this might move faster. But they don't.

The Apple Watch should really move to an 18 or 24 month upgrade cycle.

You can choose your own upgrade cycle.

Better than that stupid passcode

the code suggests that 2026's Apple Watch lineup will be a considerable upgrade more broadly. The new series is identified as "Watch8;" the Series 9, 10, and 11 are all identified as "Watch7," pointing to a significant departure from previous models in 2026

Got it , don’t buy the aw series 11, wait for series 12

I think the only time I enter my passcode on the watch is when I install an update.

The "Unlock with iPhone" option negates it.

Unlock with iPhone never works for me. 🥲

Why is that it's next year's model that sounds better?
