watchOS 27 Drops Support for Apple Watch Series 8, Ultra 1, SE 2, and Older
www.macrumors.com
external-link
Apple today confirmed that watchOS 27 will not support the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra (first generation), or Apple Watch SE (second generation), effectively drawing a line at devices equipped with the S9 or S10 chip. The only Apple Watch models compatible with watchOS 27 are the Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, Series 11, Ultra 2, Ultra 3, and SE 3. The cuts are the biggest loss of latest generation software support for the Apple Watch to date.

    dropping Series 9 seems kinda rough… it’s only 3 years old.

      Yeah, WTAF, I have a series 9. It still feels new to me. What will it not be able to do? Have they said yet?

        Update to the new watchOS, but apparently that’s not accurate according to what someone else said.

    I got a series 3 for $50. What more do I need a watch to do other than: tell the time, count my steps, notify of my messages when I can’t have my phone on me at work?

    I scoff at your update, Apple.

    From the website:

    Apple’s initial compatibility list incorrectly said that the Apple Watch Series 9 would not support watchOS 27. We’ve updated this article following the company’s confirmation that the device will indeed get the latest software.
