- Apple will introduce a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature for some Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users in the U.S.
- The update requires users to update their iPhone to iOS 18.6.1 and their Apple Watch to watchOS 11.6.1.
- Sensor data from the Blood Oxygen app will be measured and calculated on the paired iPhone, with results viewable in the Health app's Respiratory section.
- This update is enabled by a recent U.S. Customs ruling and does not affect Apple Watches purchased outside the U.S. or those already with the original Blood Oxygen feature.
- Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 offer various health features like irregular rhythm notifications, ECG app, Sleep Apnea Notifications, and more.
