- watchOS 27 drops support for five Apple Watch models, according to 9to5Mac, which examined why those devices are being cut off from the update.
- Apple's senior watchOS team told TechRadar that the new Siri AI assistant is the most convenient way to interact with Siri on an Apple Watch, while explaining why the feature will not come to many older models.
Why it matters: Five Apple Watch models will lose access to watchOS 27 and its new Siri AI capabilities, effectively ending Apple's software support for those devices and pushing owners toward newer hardware if they want the latest features.
