watchOS 26 update removes five faces from Apple Watch

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-10-24 11:19:50

Apple Watch has nearly 60 faces, and watchOS 26 optimizes way more than before for Apple Watch Series 10. It’s not all good news with watchOS 26, however, as Apple continues to discontinue watch faces through software updates. Last year, Apple cut four watch faces with the watchOS 11 software update. The enhanced widgets view unsurprisingly replaced the Siri watch face, but Apple also removed analog Chronograph, Explorer, and Numerals watch faces. Since then, Apple has introduced Flux, Reflect

Last Monday, towards the end of the WWDC25 keynote, Craig Federighi said that Apple had “expanded” its vision for Swift Assist, and it would now allow developers to bring their Large Language Model of choice directly to Xcode. Now, we know more about how this is going to work. What is Swift Assist? This was a feature that Apple announced during last year’s WWDC, but hadn’t released until now, on Xcode 26 beta.

This new Android foldable claims to have Apple Watch support… somehow

The Apple Watch is a stellar wearable, and one that’s enticing enough to prevent many from switching to Android. But with its upcoming foldable, Vivo claims to, somehow, support the Apple Watch. In a teaser on Weibo, Vivo claims that its coming X Fold 5 will support the Apple Watch, being the first Android phone to do so. The company explains (translated) that you’ll be able to answer phones, read texts, and sync health data from the Apple Watch to the Android-powered Vivo X Fold 5. It’s a wil

iOS 26 will bridge the gap with digital IDs in Apple Wallet thanks to this new addition

Yesterday at WWDC25, Apple announced a new addition to the Wallet app that’ll certainly bridge the gap when it comes to digital ID adoption in the United States: support for passports. Apple announced Drivers Licenses and IDs in Apple Wallet back with iOS 15 in 2021, but since then, it’s only rolled out to a handful of US states. Apple currently supports 9 US states plus Puerto Rico, and will soon add 3 more. Still, 12 is far short of all 50 US states. Soon, however, Apple will introduce suppo

Apple is continuing its marketing onslaught for the F1 movie, which arrives in US cinemas on June 27. Apple has released a new trailer in the TV app for the film, but this one has a twist.

Apple categorically denies Siri vaporware claims, and offers a better explanation [Video]

Siri got lots of airtime at last year's WWDC – but not this year There’s no denying that Apple made a major mis-step when it showed off impressive new Siri features during last year’s WWDC, before doubling-down in an iPhone 16 ad. The company was forced to delete the ad and walk back the timing. That led even the most upbeat of Apple commenters to criticize the company for showing off “vaporware,” implying that the demos had been faked.
