Apple introduced its form of artificial intelligence last June at a developer conference WWDC. It has since made its way into computers Mac, iPhones and iPads, which are the devices that the company talked about in terms of giving them their Apple Intelligence Yes. But she left out the watch.
So it is currently Apple Intelligence available in iOS, iPadOS a macOS, not watchOS or another company system. If we talk about devices, we are talking about iPhones 15 Pro and 16, iPads with chips Apple Silicon and iPads mini (A17 Pro) and computers Mac with M1 chip and newer.
AI in smartwatches
As we already know about iOS 19 to macOS 16 Apple intends to visually redesign these systems and bring them closer to the form visionOS. According to latest news this change should not avoid the upcoming watchOS.Informacand he also talks about the fact that Apple Watch they should even get selected functions Apple IntelligenceOf course, there is a problem.
Apple Intelligence should only be present in the new model Apple Watch Ultra, which will have a sufficiently powerful chip to handle AI tasks. The big unknown is how much RAM such a device will have, because as we know, AI Applu requires 8 GB, Apple Watch but they only have 1 GB of RAM. What about the fact that the competition offers its AI even in models with less hardware and it actually works well. When it introduced it last July Samsung Galaxy Watch7 a Galaxy Watch Ultra, has also given this watch selected Galaxy AI features. These include the following:
- Smart reply suggestions in the Messages app. The watch analyzes the conversation and suggests relevant replies.
- Personalized sleep analysis with tips for improving habits and detecting moderate to severe sleep apnea.
- Energy score, which provides insight into your overall well-being based on metrics like sleep, activity, and heart rate.
- Personalized recommendations to improve health based on your data.
- Race function, which allows you to compare your current performance with past running and cycling results.
- Ability to create your own training routines a combination of different exercises.
So what Apple Watch?
Apple Watch could at least get notification and message summaries, Genmoji, and also smarter SiriHowever, a company could circumvent the hardware requirements by Apple Watch they would only serve as an intermediary, but the data would be processed in the connected phone. The problem would of course be speed and also if the phone was not in range. In that case, logically, the functions would not be available at that moment. Apple Intelligence available.

This raises the question: "Is it really necessary to stuff AI into Apple Watch.” The competition shows that it actually is and proves how Apple is still losing ground in this industry. Given the challenging implementation Apple Intelligence do Apple Watch and hardware limitations, which you Apple determined by itself, we do not assume that to AI in watches Appwill it really happen, minialmost not this year.
