As Apple prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its flagship smartwatch in 2024, the next generation may miss out on the AI โโshift. However, promising new health features are on the horizon.

Apple seems to be taking a gradual approach, ensuring the reliability and relevance of its innovations before integrating them into its flagship smartwatch.
