Apple brings AI-backed features to watchOS 11
Apple has announced several artificial intelligence (AI)-powered enhancements for its watchOS 11, during the "It's Glowtime" event. The company had initially introduced certain updates at the WWDC developer conference in June. However, additional details were provided in today's keynote presentation. These upgrades are set to revolutionize user experience, with advanced features like translation and contextual information display.
