Every Apple Watch that will get WatchOS 11 (and which models won't be supported)
With the release of WatchOS 11, Apple stopped supporting software updates for several Apple Watch models. Here are the Apple Watch models that will not get WatchOS 11:
- Apple Watch Series 5 (2019)
- Apple Watch Series 4 (2018) and older
- Apple Watch SE (2020)
This list only includes the first-generation Apple Watch SE, launched in 2020; the 2022 Apple Watch SE is expected to support WatchOS 11.
