Apple Watch Series 4 may be eliminated

Recently, PhoneSoft released a list of compatible devices for Apple’s upcoming watchOS 11 operating system. The list shows that the Apple Watch Series 4 released in 2018 will no longer be supported by the new system.

According to the list, the following Apple Watch models will be able to support the upcoming watchOS 11: Apple Watch Series 5 (2019), Apple Watch Series 6 (2020), Apple Watch Series 7 (2021), Apple Watch Series 8 (2022), and the latest Apple Watch Series 9 (2023). At the same time, Apple Watch SE first generation (2020) and second generation (2022), as well as Apple Watch Ultra first generation (2022) and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (2023) are also on the compatibility list.

According to the latest reports, Apple Watch Series 4 was released together with iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max in 2018, but the iOS 17 system launched by Apple last year no longer supports iPhone X. This update strategy shows Apple’s gradual adjustments to device compatibility.

The watchOS 9 system launched by Apple in 2022 has stopped supporting the Apple Watch Series 3 released in 2017. Although last year's watchOS 10 still supports all Apple Watch models compatible with watchOS 9, this year's watchOS 11 may gradually reduce the scope of support, resulting in users using Apple Watch Series 4 may not be able to upgrade to the new system.

Apple is expected to release new iOS 18, watchOS 11 and other system updates at its annual developer conference WWDC on June 10, and plans to officially push these new systems to the public this fall.
