The Apple Watch was also going to have its space in the presentation of the WWDC23. Without a doubt, all the rumors around widgets and the expected design change in watchOS came to life and appeared in the new operating system: watchOS 10. On top of that, new faces, redesigned native apps, and new health-focused features were included right on the watch. He new watchOS 10 is compatible with all watches that were already compatible with watchOS 9, but there are changes with respect to the iPhone necessary to install watchOS 10, of course.
From Apple Watch Series 4 onwards compatible with watchOS 10
Apple released the first watchOS 10 developer beta yesterday. Remember that these Apple Watch operating systems are installed and downloaded using an updated iPhone, so to install watchOS 10 it is necessary to have iOS 17 installed on our iPhone.
This is the key point to define the compatibilities of the new watchOS 10. Apple says watchOS 10 will be compatible with all the watches that were already with watchOS 9, which are the following:
- Apple Watch Series 4
- Apple Watch Series 5
- Apple Watch SE (all models)
- Apple Watch Series 6
- Apple Watch Series 7
- Apple Watch Series 8
- apple watch ultra
However, The novelty is that the iPhone 8 and iPhone X are out of iOS 17 compatibility, so these devices cannot be the intermediaries to install watchOS 10. In addition, Apple warns that although the compatibility is there, Not all watchOS 10 features will come to all watches Not surprisingly, considering that the processors have changed and are not the same, as are the power demands of the different features of watchOS 10.
