Apple Watch 12 to get major redesign, Watch Series 11 may come with blood pressure detection – NotebookCheck.net News
A report from Apple’s supply chain not only hints at exciting news about the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Watch Ultra 3, which will be launched in a few weeks, but also gives a glimpse of a major redesign that is planned for the next Apple Watch generation in 2026.

The successors to the Apple Watch Series 10 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 17 series on September 9, 2025. They are unlikely to offer much in the way of new features, at least in terms of the chipset, according to the latest information. Once again, the code name T8310 indicates an Apple S11 chip with few changes compared to its predecessors, the Apple S10 and Apple S9.
Apple Watch 11 potentially with blood pressure detection
According to a recent industry report from Taiwan’s Digitimes (behind a paywall), blood pressure detection may make its debut on an Apple Watch, something that has been anticipated but has never materialized. At least in the initial phase, the focus will likely be on pattern detection and alerts in the event of abnormal values, although this has not yet been confirmed. Non-invasive blood sugar monitoring, however, remains a dream of the future for Apple fans.
Twice as many sensors in the Apple Watch 12
Things could get even more exciting in 2026, when the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 are scheduled to be released. According to supply chain insiders, a major redesign of the Apple Watch is planned for next year, which is also likely to include new sensors. Specifically mentioned is a new ring of eight sensors on the bottom. This will likely remind many of the leak of an Apple Watch Series 10 prototype from the spring, which showed a similar ring and may eventually become reality with the Apple Watch 12. According to sources, the number of sensors will double in 2026.
New design and increased efficiency from 2026
The additional sensors are also expected to increase the efficiency and performance of the Apple Watch, as Apple will apparently no longer have to rely so heavily on interpreting data from algorithms. Unfortunately, the report remains quite vague, especially regarding the redesign. For example, it doesn’t reveal how the casing or the front of the Apple Watch will change visually. More than a year before the expected launch of the next-to-next Apple Watch generation, a lot can still change, even if the information from the supply chain is correct.
