"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 to upgrade my iPhone 14 Pro Max."
"Most recent Apple Watch models are visually very similar, and the Series 10 and the new Series 11 are no exceptions. The latest Apple Watch 11 follows the previous model's trend of being the thinnest Apple Watch and carries all of the Series 10's features and then some, including extending the Series 10's 18-hour battery life to up to 24 hours."
"The Apple Watch Series 11 is twice as scratch-resistant as the Series 10, supports 5G cellular networks, and features the biggest update yet: blood pressure monitoring to alert you of potential hypertension indicators. Apple is also adding a sleep score to give you better insights into your sleep quality, taking into account sleep duration, interruptions, sleep cycles, and bedtime."
Many users keep Apple devices for years because of hardware longevity. Some users still use Apple Watch Series 7 after four years and delay iPhone upgrades. Most recent Apple Watch models are visually similar, with Series 10 and Series 11 maintaining the thin design while Series 11 extends battery life from 18 to up to 24 hours. Series 11 is twice as scratch-resistant, adds 5G cellular support, and introduces blood pressure monitoring to alert users to potential hypertension indicators. Apple also adds a sleep score that accounts for duration, interruptions, sleep cycles, and bedtime. Despite these additions, upgrading from Series 10 remains largely iterative and may not be justified for many users.
