As Apple gears up for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), excitement is building around the upcoming watchOS 12 update for the Apple Watch. This latest version aims to elevate the user experience with innovative features powered by what the company refers to as Apple Intelligence.

Apple is poised to introduce a range of features in watchOS 12 that are being marketed under the Apple Intelligence brand. According to insights from Mark Gurman, these new functionalities will extend across Apple's software ecosystem, including iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, with the Apple Watch getting its share of AI-driven innovation.

However, the introduction of Apple Intelligence has raised some eyebrows. In light of past experiences, notably with Siri, there is a palpable caution surrounding the deployment of new AI capabilities. Consumers are likely to be skeptical, and Apple will need to showcase these features effectively during WWDC to reclaim trust and avoid the impression of yet another gimmick that might not live up to the hype.
