Is Apple Watch Series 11 worth the upgrade? Here's how it compares to older models

Screenshot: Apple, Design: Maria Diaz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. I'm an Apple loyalist, but I don't upgrade my devices every year. Longevity is one of my favorite things about Apple hardware; I can be reassured that my investments will last me for years. When a shiny new product rolls around, I don't feel the pull to swap out the one I have at home that still works perfectly. This is why I still rock my Apple Watch Series 7 after four years, and why I have yet

Apple’s Cheaper Apple Watch SE May Be the Wearable Most People Need

Why spend more than $300 for an Apple Watch? Apple may have its wearables fans asking that question with the new Apple Watch SE. The third-gen update brings a host of upgrades, including a new screen and better performance from a new chip. It may not have all the health tracking features of the mainline wearables, but that may simply make it a better option for most people. The last SE (2nd-gen) arrived in 2022 alongside the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first Apple Watch Ultra. The revised edit

New Apple Watch Sports Even More Health Monitoring Features That Hopefully Won’t Be Banned

Apple Watches don’t change much year to year, although the last few updates have left users without landmark blood oxygen sensing tech for months. It was a change in the wrong direction, but at least it didn’t last for long. At its Tuesday “Awe Dropping” product showcase, Apple said that with Apple Watch Series 11, wearables fans can hope both past and all-new health monitoring features will stick around for good. The Series 10 Apple Watches were based on new, slightly thinner frames with redes

Apple Store Goes Down Ahead of iPhone 17 Event

In the series of predictable events leading up to every iPhone launch is the moment the Apple Store goes down -- and it's just happened. There's just hours to go until the Apple event, during which the company is set to announce the iPhone 17 series and updates to its wider product lineup, including the Apple Watch Series 11. For now, when you take a trip to the tech giant's online emporium, it features the familiar boilerplate text: "Be right back." When the store pops back up later today, the

‘Sherlock Holmes’ May Get the Animated Treatment From a ‘Shrek’ Producer

Here’s a duo you don’t expect: Sherlock Holmes and Shrek. There won’t be any content crossover if a new animated Sherlock Holmes series—tentatively titled Animated Sherlock—gets off the ground, but the shared behind-the-scenes interests are there. Also of note, the series wouldn’t adapt the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle source material but rather a novel series that puts a more risque twist on his classic tales. As Variety reports, Animated Sherlock would tap into The Unexperguated Adventures of Sherl

13 of the Best Peacock Shows to Stream This Week

Peacock recently rolled out a price increase, but the streamer's reliably entertaining lineup of NBC and Bravo favorites could mean you're keeping it around.

The Apple Watch Series 11 Could Share the Stage at Tomorrow's Event

All eyes are on Apple's Sept. 9 "awe dropping" event, where a fresh batch of Apple Watches is expected to take center stage alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. While the Series 11 will almost certainly headline, Apple may have already tipped its hand on the next Ultra. Imagery found in the iOS 26 public beta (first spotted by MacRumors ) shows display specs that don't match any current model, and the two-year update cycle only strengthens the case that the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 is on the ho

Surprise new Galaxy S25 One UI 8 beta update brings last minute fixes

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has pushed out another One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S25. The stable release is expected later this month, and this could be the last One UI 8 beta for the series. Samsung is expected to roll out the stable One UI 8 update this month, starting with the Galaxy S25 series. After all, the newest member of the Galaxy S25 series already has it, and others are in line. But, Samsung still appears to be executing some finishing touches right before the sta

Apple Watch SE 3 announcement this week looks quite likely thanks to last-minute leak

Thanks to a new last-minute leak from an anonymous X account, it now seems all but certain that Apple’s next generation Apple Watch SE will be launching in a number of days. Rumors for this new model have been faint, leading to some skepticism around whether or not it’s truly launching this year – but now things seem solid. This anonymous X account wishes to remain private, so we can’t directly link to the tweet – though the user has a highly accurate track record. Late on Sunday, the account

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 Reveal Could Be a Few Days Away

By this time next week, we'll know exactly what Apple has planned for its new Apple Watch lineup. But one thing already seems very likely: a refreshed version of the rugged Ultra. Not only is it due for an upgrade (the Ultra 2 debuted in September 2023), but Apple may have actually dropped the biggest clue yet. Buried in the public beta of iOS 26 (first spotted by MacRumors) are screen specs that don't match any existing Apple Watch model on the market, hinting at the arrival of an Apple Watch U

Apple TV+ sees early Emmys success with wins for Severance and The Studio

The 77th Emmy Awards ceremony officially takes place next Sunday, where the biggest industry TV awards will be given out. But, the Emmys actually has so many awards they reveal some of the winners a week early. Based on these preliminary results, Apple TV+ is set for success. In total, the service amassed 15 wins, thanks to its powerhouse players this season of comedy The Studio and sci-fi drama Severance. The Studio has been the frontrunner to win the prestigious Outstanding Comedy Series awa

Report: Gavin and Stacey sitcom stars sign up to headline new Apple TV+ series

The stars of Gavin and Stacey, one of the most popular BBC series in the UK, are set to write, produce and act in a new Apple TV+ drama, according to the Daily Mail. James Corden and Ruth Jones have apparently signed a deal with Apple on a new series set to go into production next year. The show is described as “full of heart and warmth”, which certainly vibes with the theme of many of Apple’s most popular comedies. Corden, who used to present The Late Late Show in the US, already has a workin

Pokémon Legends: Z-A feels like a strong step forward for the series

The Pokémon series has had staying power ever since its debut in the 1990s, but it has felt especially popular in recent years, thanks to Pokémon GO and the resurgence of the trading card game. Given that more Pokémon fans are experiencing new ways to play, it’s the right time for developer Game Freak to refresh the video game series. The upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A looks to do just that with a more action-oriented focus on a Pokémon trainer's journey. At a special Nintendo showcase during PA

‘Life Is Strange’ Is Taking Its Superpowered Queer Tales to Television

Prime Video is picking up one video game after another to bring to television, and Life Is Strange is the latest game joining those ranks. Technically, Legendary Digital Studios and publisher Square Enix announced their plans to adapt a show in 2016, with Shawn Mendes later attached as a producer and potentially coming to Hulu. Rights for the adventure game series have pivoted to Prime Video, who’ve enlisted Charlie Covell, who wrote Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World and Kaos, as showrunne

19 of the Absolute Best Sci-Fi TV Shows on Prime Video

Prime Video has sci-fi TV shows you're looking for. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but stick with me here. You're probably used to finding the must-watch genre shows at places like Netflix, Disney Plus and even Apple TV Plus. Those streaming services are packed with good stuff, but the Amazon-owned streamer should not be slept on. When it comes to programming, each streamer seems to have a specific brand that their shows adhere to. For Prime Video, that vibe is cutting-edge, forward-thinkin

Amazon greenlights a Life is Strange series adaptation

With Hollywood video game adaptations surging, it was only a matter of time before Life is Strange got the treatment. After all, even platformer and sandbox game adaptations have (shockingly) found success in this new era. A well-written adventure game seems like a much shorter leap. Amazon announced on Friday that Prime Video has ordered a series based on the 2015 game. Like Don't Nod's classic, the series will blend angsty teenage realism with supernatural elements and moral choices. And Amaz

Unlike the Pixel 9 mess, fixing a Pixel 10’s battery might not make you scream

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 series features an upgraded plastic pull tab for easier battery removal than its predecessor. Apple and Samsung’s methods for battery removal are more efficient, showing that Google still has further room for improvement. The Pixel 10 series is the talk of the town, and there are plenty of upgrades across the board to get people excited. With the Pixel 10 series, Google has also launched the Pixel Care Plus program for $0 battery repairs, thou

I tested the Pixel 10’s charging with Google’s own 67W brick, and it’s still disappointingly slow

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Google’s Pixel series has, to be blunt, always been pretty slow to charge. Even the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s boost to 37W (about 35W effective) still left the phone taking a sluggish 77 minutes to reach full, while the regular 26W capabilities of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro left last year’s users waiting about 85 minutes. Nothing has changed for the better with the new Pixel 10 series. In fact, after testing Google’s latest flagships with the company’s new 67W USB-C c
