Following Apple’s recent “Surprise and shine” event, details have emerged regarding the upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. Both devices are scheduled to hit the market on September 18th, with pre-orders becoming available immediately.
The Apple Watch Series 12 retains a starting price of $399 for its aluminum models, which will be offered in space gray, black, light gold, and dark bronze. More premium materials come at a higher cost, with natural and radiant gold titanium variants priced at $699, while ceramic options in night blue and pearl white are available for $899.
Apple states that the new watch provides up to 24 hours of battery life during typical daily use. Additionally, the device now supports up to 10 hours of battery life specifically during outdoor workouts, along with faster charging capabilities compared to previous generations.
Twenty-four hours is still standard battery life. My Garmin lasts a week, Apple. Let’s be realistic here.
The dark bronze color looks gorgeous in the renders. Definitely upgrading from my Series 8 this fall.
Are we sure the Ultra 4 isn’t just a rebranded Ultra 3 with a new face? Still waiting for real internal upgrades.
$899 for ceramic? That is absolutely insane pricing for a wrist computer. I am out.
Finally, a workout battery that actually lasts longer than an hour. Apple finally listened to runners.
