iPhone Duo
The first foldable iPhone. Open it and you get the largest display Apple has ever put on an iPhone. Close it and it goes in your pocket.
The highlights.
Foldable design
One iPhone, two displays.
iPhone Duo is the first foldable iPhone. Opened, it is the thinnest iPhone Apple makes and carries the largest display the company has ever built into one — Apple puts it at 50 percent larger than iPhone 18 Pro Max. Closed, the outer display still covers more than 90 percent of the screen area of iPhone 18 Pro, so the compact half is a full phone rather than a secondary panel. iOS 27 moves between the two as you fold and unfold.
It comes in two finishes: Night Sky and Star White.
Take a closer look.
Because it folds, iPhone Duo holds a shape. Each one changes what the phone is good for.
Landscape. A wide, uninterrupted surface for films and games, or two apps at once with Split View multitasking.
Portrait. A wider keyboard to type on and more page to scroll. Pin a video to the top and keep watching while you use another app.
Closed. Pocketable and easy one-handed. The essential controls move to the side where your thumb already is, and apps get more vertical room.
Seated. Set it down part-folded and it holds its own viewing angle — a show while you cook, a workout you follow, controls along the bottom.
Standing. StandBy turns it into a clock, a photo frame or a panel of widgets. Or watch something on the outer display at your own angle.
Durability. A Grade 5 titanium frame and hinge cover, a scratch-resistant coating on the inner display, Ceramic Shield front and back, and an IP68 rating for water and dust.3
Expansive display
Room to get lost in.
The 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR inner display4 keeps the same aspect ratio as the 5.4-inch outer display,4 so what you were looking at carries over when you unfold. It is built from ten ultrathin layers with a custom nano-texture finish that cuts glare, and the FaceTime camera sits under the display until you need it — an uninterrupted surface, flat and smooth end to end.

Versatility
Reimagined iOS.
A folding design and iOS 27 together open up things a single-slab phone cannot do. Work on the outer display, then unfold for the large one. Angle it for a film. Stand it up and take a call hands-free. Moving between displays and orientations is seamless.
-
StandBy
Use StandBy just about anywhere, charging or not, and iPhone Duo becomes a clock, a photo frame, or a panel for weather, calendar and your widgets.
-
Siri AI
Ask questions and get answers in a rich conversation window. The larger canvas gives Siri AI room to show its work.2
-
Flexible views
With two displays you always have a choice — including watching something on the outer display at exactly the angle you want.
-
Hands-free FaceTime
iPhone Duo stands on its own, so you can take a FaceTime call without holding the phone up.
Advanced camera system
A camera on both sides of the fold.
A second display changes what a phone camera can do. The person you are photographing can see themselves. Everyone can get in the shot. And the sensors behind it capture 48MP stills and 4K video at 120 fps.

Features only a folding iPhone has
-
Smart Take
iPhone Duo can tell when everyone is ready and take the picture, so you are in the shot instead of running back to it.
-
Duo Preview
The outer display shows the person you are photographing a live preview, so they can fix their pose and framing themselves.
-
Kid Cue
Playful animations on the outer display draw a child's eyes to the lens — which is most of the work of photographing a child.
-
Duo FaceTime
Someone next to you can join the call on the outer display — no crowding into one frame, no passing the phone back and forth.
The rest of the system carries over and grows: Photographic Styles 3 now tunes texture and grain as well as tone and colour, Cinematic mode can be adjusted after the fact, time-lapse records in 4K with Dolby Vision HDR, and 2x optical-quality zoom comes off the high-resolution sensor rather than a crop. Apple Intelligence adds Spatial Reframing, the Extend tool and a stronger Clean Up.5
Performance and battery life
Built for the big display.
The A20 Pro chip pairs a Dual 16-core Neural Engine with a 7-core GPU with Neural Accelerators, and a vapor chamber moves the heat out so it can hold that pace through a long game or a heavy editing session. Apple's own comparisons put the 6-core CPU up to 20 percent faster than A19 Pro, with up to 50 percent more memory bandwidth.6
Power comes from a dual-battery system that uses the space an internal eSIM design frees up,7 plus a C2 modem built for efficiency. Apple's testing puts video playback at up to 31 hours on the inner display and up to 44 hours on the outer one, and a drained phone back to about half charge in roughly 20 minutes on a fast wired charger.1
iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence
Everything else it does.
Siri AI is a conversational assistant that can hold a back-and-forth, find something buried in your own photos or mail, and take actions in apps like Messages, Music and Reminders.2 Around it, Apple Intelligence adds Writing Tools, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence8 and Call Context, which surfaces the confirmation code from your mail as you ring the airline. New and expanded child safety features give parents and guardians more to work with.

Common questions.
Is iPhone Duo a flip phone or a foldable?
It is a foldable. Open, the 7.6-inch inner display4 is built for films and for running two apps side by side. Closed, the 5.4-inch outer display makes it pocketable and easy to use one-handed, so it also suits someone coming from a flip phone. Both displays share an aspect ratio, so content carries across when you fold it.
How is it different from iPhone 18 Pro?
They share the A20 Pro chip. iPhone Duo is the one that folds — Apple puts its open display 50 percent larger than iPhone 18 Pro Max — and iOS 27 adds things that only work on a folding phone: side-by-side apps, hands-free FaceTime, a phone that stands at your chosen angle. It is the better pick for multitasking and for watching things. iPhone 18 Pro keeps the Pro camera system, including a Fusion Telephoto that iPhone Duo does not have.
How much zoom does the camera have?
Up to 2x optical-quality zoom, shooting at 0.5x, 1x and 2x. There is no dedicated telephoto lens; the 2x comes off the 48MP sensor, so it holds detail rather than simply cropping.
How durable is a folding display?
Apple specifies a Grade 5 titanium frame and hinge cover, a scratch-resistant coating over the inner display, Ceramic Shield on the front and back, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.3
Can I move over from an Android phone?
Yes. Apple's Move to iOS app transfers photos, contacts, messages and calendars in a few steps. If you would rather not do it yourself, bring both phones into a Victra store and someone will move everything across and set the new one up with you.
Does it use a physical SIM?
No. iPhone Duo activates with an eSIM and has no physical SIM tray — part of how Apple freed up the internal space for the dual-battery system. An eSIM needs a carrier that supports it and an active service plan.7 Victra can set that up in store.
Where can I see one in person?
Victra is a Verizon Authorized Retailer with stores across the country. A folding phone is worth handling before you commit — the weight closed, the hinge, how the crease reads in the light. Check current availability and hours at your nearest store on the Victra store locator.

Notes and sources
Specifications and feature descriptions on this page come from Apple's iPhone Duo product page and its technical specifications. Apple is the source of every figure below; the notes are our summaries of Apple's published substantiation, not Apple's own wording.
- Battery and charging figures are Apple's. Apple states it tested preproduction iPhone Duo hardware and software in July 2026 on LTE and 5G networks, measuring video playback by looping a feature-length HDR film bought from the iTunes Store, and measured fast charging from a drained phone using its own USB-C cable or MagSafe charger with a 40W adapter. Apple notes that all battery claims depend on network configuration and other factors, that actual results vary, and that batteries have a limited number of recharge cycles and may eventually need replacing. Details: Apple's iPhone Duo specifications.
- Apple Intelligence and Siri AI are Apple features, not Victra or Verizon features. Apple describes Siri AI as available in beta in iOS 27 on Apple Intelligence-enabled devices, rolling out in English, with usage limits and with some capabilities unavailable in certain regions or languages. Apple's description: the iPhone Duo product page.
- Apple reports the IP68 rating from testing under controlled laboratory conditions against IEC standard 60529, to a maximum depth of 6 metres for up to 30 minutes. Apple is clear that splash, water and dust resistance are not permanent and can weaken with normal wear, that a wet iPhone should not be charged, and that liquid damage is not covered by warranty.
- Display sizes are Apple's stated figures and are rounded. Apple notes the displays have rounded corners within a standard rectangle; measured as a rectangle the inner folding display is 7.58 inches diagonally and the outer display is 5.36 inches. Actual viewable area is less.
- Apple describes Clean Up as available in beta, with its own compatibility and system requirements, and notes that usage limits may apply to Apple Intelligence editing features.
- CPU and memory-bandwidth figures are Apple's own comparisons of A20 Pro against A19 Pro, quoted as "up to" values. Apple publishes them on the iPhone Duo product page; performance varies with workload.
- Apple states that iPhone 14 models and later activate with an eSIM and do not support a physical SIM, and that using an eSIM requires a carrier that supports eSIM and a wireless service plan.
- Apple states Visual Intelligence works on any Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone, and that some capabilities are not available in every language or region.
- Apple states Wi-Fi 7 is available in countries and regions where it is supported.
- 5G requires a data plan and is available in select markets. Coverage and available speeds depend on your plan and location — ask in store what applies where you live.
- Apple states satellite features are included free for two years when you activate an iPhone 14 or later, that connection and response times vary with location and conditions, that some satellite features require a carrier plan, that messaging via satellite works on supported carriers and message rates may apply, and that connectivity is provided by Globalstar.
- Apple states Roadside Assistance fees are set by the assistance provider and vary by location and the type of help given.
- Apple states Crash Detection is available on iPhone Duo among other recent models and requires a cellular connection, satellite connectivity, or Wi-Fi calling.

Design
An aluminum unibody, in four finishes.
iPhone 18 Pro is built around an aluminum unibody with color-matched back glass, in two sizes: the 6.3-inch iPhone 18 Pro and the 6.9-inch iPhone 18 Pro Max. Both carry a Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion up to 120Hz. The front is Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple rates at three times the scratch resistance of iPhone 16 Pro, and the back is Ceramic Shield. Apple measures both display sizes as a standard rectangle — 6.27 inches on iPhone 18 Pro — so the actual viewable area is slightly smaller.

Built to last
A Ceramic Shield 2 front, a Ceramic Shield back, and an aluminum unibody that carries the whole structure.
Pro camera system
Three 48MP cameras, and an aperture that moves.
Every rear camera on iPhone 18 Pro is 48MP, covering an equivalent 13 mm to 200 mm — up to 8x optical-quality zoom without changing a lens. The Main camera adds something no iPhone has had before: an aperture that physically changes, from ƒ/1.48 wide open to ƒ/4.0 stopped down.
- 48MP Fusion Main 24/48 mm (1x/2x) · ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8 and ƒ/4.0 · 2.44 µm quad-pixel
- 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide 13 mm (.5x and macro) · ƒ/2.2 · 1.4 µm quad-pixel
- 48MP Fusion Telephoto 100/200 mm (4x/8x) · ƒ/2.8 · 1.4 µm quad-pixel
- Center Stage front camera 18MP, widening the frame on its own
Four stops, one lens.
The Main camera picks its aperture for the scene automatically. In Pro controls you can set it yourself — pick a stop to see what it changes.
Maximum light
The widest stop on the Main camera. It gathers the most light of the four, which is what you want indoors and after dark.
Default
A balance between low light and depth of field. This is where the camera sits unless the scene or you ask for something else.
More depth
A narrower stop holds detail farther back in the frame — the second and third rows of a group, the building behind the person.
Maximum depth
The narrowest stop, for deliberate effects in Pro controls — long exposures, motion held as a streak instead of frozen.
-
Pro controls
Bring the settings you use most to the front of the Camera app, so aperture, focus and exposure are one tap away.
-
Photographic Styles 3
Beyond tone and color, you can now customize texture — and apply it as you shoot rather than afterwards.
-
Smart focus tracking
On-device intelligence keeps the subject sharp while it moves, in photos and in video.
Pro video
Cinematic, after the fact.
iPhone 18 Pro lets you add Cinematic mode effects to regular video — including video you have already shot. Support for 60 fps makes slow motion smoother, and Audio Mix can lift a performance out of the noise around it.
-
Better low-light video
The camera system adjusts aperture and frame rate together at night or indoors, for brighter and clearer footage.
-
4K time-lapse
Time-lapse records at 4K resolution with Dolby Vision HDR.
-
Audio Mix for music
Separate music and voices from background noise after you have recorded.
-
Dual Capture
Record the front and rear cameras at the same time — you and what you are looking at, in one take.
For the people who edit it afterwards
ProRes RAW and Apple Log 2 for color grading, genlock for syncing multiple cameras, and 4K 120 fps in Dolby Vision.
Battery life
A day that keeps going.
More capacity and greater efficiency give iPhone 18 Pro Max up to 45 hours of video playback — six hours more than iPhone 17 Pro Max — and up to 30 hours of general use per charge. Faster wired charging gets it to about half a charge in roughly fifteen minutes.
These figures are Apple’s, from Apple’s own testing of preproduction iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max units and software. Video playback was measured in July 2026 by looping a 2 hour 23 minute HDR movie at default settings on LTE and 5G networks. The hours-of-use figure was measured in August 2026 against a representative usage profile drawn from median customer usage, not a single task. Charging was measured with Apple’s 40W Dynamic Power Adapter. Apple also notes that all battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors, that results vary by use and settings, and that a battery has a limited number of recharge cycles and may eventually need replacing. Full details are published by Apple at apple.com/iphone-18-pro and apple.com/batteries.
- 45hrs Video playback on iPhone 18 Pro Max, in Apple’s testing
- 30hrs General use per charge on iPhone 18 Pro Max
- ~15min To about 50% charge with a compatible adapter
Performance
A20 Pro, and somewhere for the heat to go.
The A20 Pro chip borrows its packaging approach from Apple’s M-series: the silicon die sits side by side with memory, which moves heat out of the stack instead of through it. Paired with a next-generation vapor chamber, Apple measures graphics performance up to 40 percent faster than iPhone 17 Pro, and sustained performance up to 40 percent better than iPhone 17 Pro — the part you notice in a long gaming session rather than a benchmark.
-
Dual 16-core Neural Engine
On-device intelligence runs on the phone, with new Neural Accelerators and higher memory bandwidth behind it.
-
M-class-inspired packaging
Placing the die beside memory rather than above it improves heat flow, and thermal headroom is what sustained speed is made of.
-
Next-generation vapor chamber
More surface area and more conductive materials, so high-intensity work stays fast for longer instead of tapering off.
Everyday
Siri AI, and the things you hope you never need.
Siri AI is Apple’s more capable assistant, rolling out in English. Apple Intelligence also brings Call Context, Clean Up, Image Playground and Shortcuts you can build without writing anything.
Apple describes Siri AI as available in beta in iOS 27, on an Apple Intelligence–enabled device set to a supported language, in English to start. Apple Intelligence itself supports a longer list of languages, and Apple notes that some features are not available in every region or language. Features that rely on Apple’s server-side models — Siri AI and the intelligent photo editing tools among them — are subject to daily usage limits that vary with the feature, the complexity of the request and system demand, and Apple says expanded access will be offered for a fee in future. Use of these features is subject to Apple’s own terms. Current conditions are published at apple.com/apple-intelligence.
-
Messages via satellite
Send a message when there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage at all. Satellite features carry their own conditions — Apple publishes them.
-
Emergency SOS and Crash Detection
Call for help from where you are, and let the phone call for you if it detects a severe crash.
-
Roadside Assistance
Request help for a breakdown, including over satellite where cellular has run out.
-
eSIM on Verizon
iPhone 18 Pro activates with an eSIM rather than a physical SIM. A Victra team member can set that up with you in store.
Questions people ask us.
What is the difference between iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Size and battery life. iPhone 18 Pro has a 6.3-inch display and iPhone 18 Pro Max a 6.9-inch one, and the larger phone is the one Apple rates at up to 45 hours of video playback. The camera system, the A20 Pro chip and the aluminum unibody are the same on both.
What does a variable aperture actually do?
It changes how much light reaches the sensor and how much of the scene stays sharp. Wide open at ƒ/1.48 the Main camera takes in the most light, which helps indoors and at night. Stopped down to ƒ/4.0 more of the frame stays in focus. The phone chooses for you, and Pro controls let you choose instead.
Which colors can I get?
Apple offers four finishes: Burgundy, Glacier, Silver and Black. Which ones a particular Victra store has on hand changes day to day, so it is worth calling ahead or checking with the team when you arrive.
Does iPhone 18 Pro use a physical SIM?
No. It activates with an eSIM. If you are moving from an older phone, a Victra team member can transfer your number and your Verizon plan onto the eSIM in store.
Can you move my photos, messages and apps across?
Yes. Bring both phones and your passcodes, and we will set up iPhone 18 Pro with you before you leave — including moving your data over and getting Face ID and your eSIM working.
What will it cost, and can I trade in my old phone?
Trade-in is available, and pricing and promotional terms change. Rather than quote a figure that may be out of date by the time you read it, we would rather work it out with you — a Victra team member can check what your current phone is worth and what Verizon offers apply on the day you come in.

Siri AI answers from your wrist, and Audio Intelligence runs on the new S11 chip. Siri AI is rolling out in English. Some Audio Intelligence features are in beta late 2026.
-
Fall Detection, Crash Detection and Emergency SOS, so help is one press away.
Health Sensing System
More heart data, far more often.
The redesigned sensing system pairs more capable optical and electrical sensors with larger, more power-efficient green LEDs, and runs them on the S11 chip. The result is a steadier stream of heart data: background readings through the day, and heart rate variability measured as often as every five minutes. You can see it all in the updated Heart Rate app or on a watch face complication.
Apple describes the heart rate sensing on Apple Watch Series 12 as the most accurate in a wearable, based on a study Apple ran in July and August 2026 against best-selling wearables on sale as of June 2026. Apple publishes the method at apple.com/HRAccuracy. The 60x and 24x figures are Apple’s own comparison with Apple Watch Series 11.
Readiness, sleep and vitals
Know what you have in the tank.
Three readings work together: how ready you are this morning, how well you actually slept, and how your body is handling stress and recovery.
A readiness score each morning
Your score is worked out from recent activity, vitals and sleep, and it adjusts as the day goes on — useful whether you are training for a race or just juggling a full week.
A sleep score you can act on
Sleep score weighs how long you slept, how consistent your bedtime was, how often you woke and how long you spent in each stage — and it shows you how the number was reached.
HRV in overnight and daytime vitals
Higher variability is associated with better recovery. With readings as often as every five minutes, a shift can show up before it reaches your overnight numbers. The Vitals app is for wellness, not medical use.
Workouts
A tougher training partner.
From badminton to open water, the Workout app tracks the way you already move — with a more accurate step count and metrics that keep up with a real session.
The Workout app
Swimming, cycling, barre, strength training and plenty more, with time, heart rate and calories tracked as you go.
Built for runners
Set time and distance goals with Pacer, race your best time on a favorite route with Race Route, and get track-level metrics from Automatic Track Detection.
A more accurate step count
Steps and distance are measured more accurately all day, on the treadmill or on the pavement, and your count now sits right on the watch face.
Workout Buddy, enhanced
Real-time notes on pace, distance and progress while you move. On a cellular model you can leave your iPhone at home. Requires a paired iPhone with Apple Intelligence and Bluetooth headphones.
Health features
A fuller picture of your health.
Apple Watch Series 12 carries clinically validated and FDA-cleared health features. None of them replace a doctor — they give you something specific to bring to one.
Cycle Tracking
Log your cycle and get predictions for your period and fertile window, plus retrospective ovulation estimates. It can flag patterns suggestive of perimenopause. It is not birth control and it does not diagnose.
Hypertension notifications
The optical sensor watches how your blood vessels respond to each beat across 30-day periods, and can notify you if it sees patterns of chronic high blood pressure. Not for anyone under 22, already diagnosed, or pregnant.
Blood oxygen
Take a reading on demand, and collect background readings day and night. The sensor is on the watch; the readings are enabled through the Health app on iPhone.
The ECG app
Generate a single-lead electrocardiogram from your wrist and check for signs of atrial fibrillation. Sleep apnea notifications are here too, for adults without an existing diagnosis.
Redesigned Health app · coming late 2026
Your data, turned into something useful.
Apple is rebuilding the Health app around Apple Intelligence, bringing data from your watch and your synced medical records into one hub. Apple has said this arrives late 2026.
Insights
Daily metrics and trends across heart, sleep, fitness, vitals, readiness and cycle tracking, with guidance drawn from your own habits.
Health Age
VO2 max, HRV and sleep from your watch combine into a Health Age, with the factors adding or removing years spelled out. You can add blood work for more detail.
Longevity
Heart health, sleep and movement analysed over time, with in-depth physical assessments you can take at home.

Make it yours
Dozens of faces, including the new Siri Modular face, and a wide range of bands in different colors, styles and materials.
Siri AI and Audio Intelligence
Ask from your wrist.
Siri AI holds a back-and-forth conversation, draws on your personal context, and picks up where you left off on your iPhone. Audio Intelligence uses the built-in microphone and the S11 chip to help you make sense of what you hear.
Conversations that follow you
Start on iPhone, carry on from your wrist. Pin conversations and see the same content, images included, across your synced devices.
Siri Recap Beta, late 2026
Turns a conversation into a title, a summary and key points. You choose when it takes notes, and you can switch it off from Control Center.
Live Rewind Beta, late 2026
Double-click the Digital Crown and the last 15 seconds of speech is transcribed — handy in a loud room. Ask Siri about it or save it for later.
Sound Recognition and Shazam
Designed for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing, Sound Recognition alerts you to sirens, alarms, doorbells or a crying baby — even without your iPhone nearby. Shazam now names the song playing around you on its own.
Apple says Audio Intelligence neither creates nor stores audio recordings, that raw audio is inaccessible even to Apple and deleted after processing, and that Live Rewind transcripts and Siri Recaps sync end-to-end encrypted. These features are opt-in. Siri AI is rolling out in English and needs an Apple Intelligence-enabled device; usage limits may apply. Full detail is on Apple’s page at apple.com/apple-watch-series-12.

Two case sizes, 46mm and 42mm, in aluminum, titanium or ceramic — eight finishes in total.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at up to 24 hours of normal use, and up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode. Those figures come from Apple’s own testing in July and August 2026 on preproduction watches running prerelease software, in a mix of time checks, notifications, app use, a workout and sleep tracking. Real battery life moves with signal, settings and use.
Can Apple Watch Series 12 work without my iPhone?
A cellular model can call, text and stream over 5G on its own, and it needs a wireless plan to do it. Our team activates that on the Verizon network in store. Some features, including Blood Oxygen readings and Workout Buddy, still work with a paired iPhone.
Is it safe to swim with?
Yes. Apple rates it WR 50M under ISO standard 22810:2010 and IP6X for dust, which covers swimming in a pool or the ocean and snorkeling to 6 meters. Not scuba diving, waterskiing or other high-speed water sports. Water resistance is not permanent and wears down over time.
What is new compared with Apple Watch Series 11?
The Health Sensing System is new, and Apple says background heart rate readings arrive 60 times more often and HRV readings 24 times more often than on Apple Watch Series 11. Series 12 also adds the readiness score, Siri AI and Audio Intelligence on the S11 chip, and Ceramic Shield 2 on aluminum cases.
Which features are not available yet?
Apple lists the redesigned Health app, Health Age, Siri Recap and Live Rewind as coming late 2026, with some Audio Intelligence features in beta. Siri AI starts in English.
Can I see one before I decide?
Yes. Find your nearest Victra store, try both case sizes on, and compare the finishes in person — ceramic and titanium look very different on a wrist than they do on a screen.
Be first to try one on.

Victra is a Verizon Authorized Retailer. Apple Watch Series 12 is a product of Apple Inc. Every specification and figure on this page is Apple’s, published at apple.com/apple-watch-series-12. Battery and fast-charge figures come from Apple testing in July and August 2026 on preproduction hardware and prerelease software; results vary with use, settings and network. Heart rate accuracy is based on an Apple study run in July and August 2026 against best-selling wearables on sale as of June 2026 — apple.com/HRAccuracy. Ceramic Shield 2 toughness is Apple’s comparison against the Ion-X glass on Apple Watch Series 11, for aluminum cases. Water resistance is rated under ISO standard 22810:2010 and diminishes over time. The Vitals app and wrist temperature sensing are for wellness, not medical use. Cycle Tracking is not birth control and does not diagnose. Hypertension notifications are not for people under 22, anyone already diagnosed with hypertension, or pregnant people. Sleep apnea notifications are for adults 18 and over without an existing diagnosis. Apple Intelligence, Siri AI and Audio Intelligence features have device, language and region requirements, and some arrive in beta late 2026. Cellular service requires a wireless plan.

A closer look at the hardware.
Finishes. Two aerospace-grade titanium finishes — natural and black.
Battery life and fast charging. Up to 50 hours of normal use, and 15 minutes on the charger gives you up to 18 hours.1
Health Sensing System. Redesigned optical and electrical sensors with larger, more power-efficient green LEDs, working with the S11 chip.
Durability. A rugged 49mm titanium case and a display crafted from sapphire crystal, tested against the MIL‑STD‑810H standard for extreme environments.2
Water and dust resistance. Rated WR100 — fit for recreational scuba diving to 40 metres and high-speed water sports — and IP6X dust resistant.3
Action button. One quick press starts a workout, marks a segment, moves to the next interval or switches on the flashlight — whichever you assign it.
Make it yours. Band styles that handle a workout and a night out, and watch face combinations including the new Siri Modular face.
1 Apple’s figures. Apple measured battery life and charge times in July and August 2026 on preproduction Apple Watch Ultra 4 units running prerelease software, using the included Magnetic Fast Charger to USB‑C Cable and a 20W adapter. Battery and charge times vary with use, settings, network, signal and temperature. 2 Apple tested against the MIL‑STD‑810H subsections for altitude, high and low temperature, temperature shock, humidity, immersion, freeze/thaw, shock and vibration. 3 Apple rates Apple Watch Ultra 4 to 100 metres under ISO standard 22810:2010. Recreational scuba diving to 40 metres needs a compatible app; it should not be used below 40 metres, and water resistance is not permanent and lessens over time. Full detail is published by Apple at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4.
Health sensing
It checks in on your heart far more often.
The all-new Health Sensing System pairs redesigned optical and electrical sensors with the S11 chip, so Apple Watch Ultra 4 takes a background heart rate reading every five seconds and samples heart rate variability as often as every five minutes — through the day and overnight. Apple calls it the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable.1 You read it back in the updated Heart Rate app, in Vitals, and in new watch face complications.
1 Apple’s claim, from a study Apple ran in July and August 2026 against commercially available best-selling wearables as of June 2026. Apple publishes the method at apple.com/HRAccuracy. The 60x and 24x figures are Apple’s own generational comparisons against Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Running
Built for the whole run.
Precision dual-frequency GPS, real-time metrics and training-load insights that show what your workouts are doing to you over weeks, not just today. Workout Buddy gives you encouragement on pace, distance and progress as you go — and with cellular, it works without your iPhone along.1
-
Advanced metrics
Track running power and cadence, and get a VO2 max estimate after your run. Custom Workouts add work and recovery intervals and a target pace.
-
Heart Rate Zones
See your intensity at a glance. Zones are calculated from your own health data, and you can adjust them by hand or set alerts.
-
Action button
One press controls the workout, moves you to the next interval or marks a segment — without looking down for a target on the screen.
-
Pacer
Set a time and distance goal for a run or an outdoor cycle, and see whether you are keeping pace as you go.
-
Race Route
Race your own best time on a route you already run, and see how far ahead or behind you are and how far is left.

Automatic Track Detection
Ultra 4 knows when you have arrived at a track, and combines Apple Maps data with precision GPS for lap and lane accuracy.
-
Step tracking
A more accurate step count and distance all day, on a walk or a treadmill, readable straight from the watch face.
-
Strava
Live Segments show your progress against your own PRs and Live Elevation Stats track the climb. Workouts sync to the Fitness app on iPhone.
1 Workout Buddy needs a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone and Bluetooth headphones, with the device and Siri language set to English or Spanish. Using it without your iPhone nearby needs a Wi‑Fi or cellular connection, and cellular service needs a wireless service plan. Requirements are Apple’s, published at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4.
Battery
Two days, most days.
More efficient workout algorithms stretch Apple Watch Ultra 4 further than any Apple Watch before it. Apple rates it at up to 50 hours of normal use, and up to 45 hours of Max Extended Workout tracking — long enough to finish a 100‑mile race on one charge.1
Everyday battery
Workout battery
1 All figures are Apple’s. Apple tested in July and August 2026 on preproduction Apple Watch Ultra 4 units running prerelease software. The everyday figures come from a multi-day mix of time checks, notifications, app use, two 60‑minute workouts with music over Bluetooth and sleep tracking; the workout figures were measured on outdoor runs without a paired iPhone, and Extended and Max Extended Workout tracking switch on Low Power Mode and make some metrics unavailable. Charge times were measured with the included Magnetic Fast Charger to USB‑C Cable and a 20W adapter. Real battery life varies with use, configuration, cellular network, signal strength and temperature. Apple’s full testing notes are at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4.
Health
A fuller picture of your health.
Apple Watch Ultra 4 brings together sleep, heart, vitals and cycle data, with clinical validation behind it and several FDA-cleared features. Everything below is a wellness tool, not a diagnosis — the conditions Apple attaches to each one are set out at the end of this section.1
-
Sleep score
Every night is scored on duration, bedtime consistency, how often you woke and time in each stage — and it shows you how the score was reached.
-
HRV in Vitals
Heart rate variability now appears in the Vitals app, sampled as often as every five minutes through the day and overnight.
-
High-frequency heart rate
Ultra 4 reads your background heart rate every five seconds, even when you are not working out, and surfaces it in a new complication.
-
Hypertension notifications
The optical sensor watches how your blood vessels respond to each heartbeat across 30‑day periods, and can flag patterns of hypertension.
-
ECG app
Generate a single-lead electrocardiogram from your wrist to check for signs of atrial fibrillation, and share the reading with your clinician.
-
Blood Oxygen
The sensor in Ultra 4 supports on-demand and background readings, day and night; the measurements are calculated and viewed in the Health app on iPhone.
-
Heart Rate app
Check your heart rate whenever you want, and get notified about a high or low rate or an irregular rhythm.
-
Cycle Tracking
Log your cycle and get period, fertile window and retrospective ovulation estimates, plus notifications when patterns suggest perimenopause.
1 Apple’s conditions, in short. The Vitals and Blood Oxygen apps are for wellness, not medical use. Hypertension notifications are not for people under 22, anyone already diagnosed with hypertension, or people who are pregnant. The ECG app and irregular rhythm notifications are intended for people 22 and over, and irregular rhythm notifications are not for anyone already diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Sleep apnea notifications are meant to detect signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea in people 18 and over without a diagnosis. Cycle Tracking is not birth control and does not diagnose anything. Apple publishes the full conditions at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4.
Apple Intelligence
Siri AI, on your wrist.
Siri AI can hold a natural back-and-forth, draw on world knowledge and your own context, and help you think through a training week from your wrist. Audio Intelligence uses the built-in microphone and the secure S11 chip to make sense of what you hear. Both are new, both are staged, and the requirements are worth reading before you count on them.1
-
The Siri app
Start a question on your iPhone and pick it up on your wrist. Pin conversations and see the same content, images included, across your devices.
-
Siri Recap
Turns a conversation into a title, a summary and key points you can read back later. You choose when it takes notes, or switch it off entirely. Beta, late 2026.
-
Live Rewind
Missed what someone said in a loud room? Double-click the Digital Crown and the last 15 seconds is transcribed. Beta, late 2026.
-
Sound Recognition
Built for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing: Ultra 4 listens for sirens, alarms, doorbells or a crying baby and taps your wrist, with no iPhone nearby.
-
Faster Shazam
Shazam picks up what is playing around you and puts the title and artist in the Smart Stack, without you tapping anything.
1 Apple’s requirements. Siri AI is in beta in watchOS 27, needs an Apple Intelligence-enabled device set to a supported language, and is in English to start. Audio Intelligence needs Apple Watch Series 12 or Apple Watch Ultra 4; Live Rewind and Siri Recap arrive in beta late in 2026 and additionally need an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone 16 or later, excluding iPhone 16e. Some features that run server-side have daily usage limits. Neither Siri AI nor these Audio Intelligence features are available in the EU at launch. Apple publishes the detail at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4.
More sports
Whatever else you do.
On a bike it watches your speed and efficiency in real time. In the water it counts your sets, works out your stroke and adds up your distance. And in the gym it can follow a bench press or a barbell lift rep by rep.
-
Multisport
Ultra 4 recognises when you move between swimming, cycling and running, and records the metrics for each leg separately.
-
Cycling on your iPhone
Start a cycling workout on Ultra 4 and it appears as a Live Activity on your iPhone — easier to read, and safer, on a handlebar mount.
-
Power Zones
Pair a power meter and Ultra 4 estimates your Functional Threshold Power, then shows current power, time in zone and your average.
-
Workout Views
Put the metrics you care about front and centre, and turn the Digital Crown to move between Heart Rate Zones, splits and elevation.
-
Strength training
The Workout app tracks bench press and barbell lifts more accurately, so a session in the gym counts properly.
-
Swim stroke
In a pool, Ultra 4 detects your stroke, counts auto sets with distance and pace, and reports SWOLF so you can see your efficiency.
-
Up Next
In any Custom Workout, Up Next shows what is left in the current interval and what is coming after it.
Adventure
Off the map, still equipped.
A powerful compass, a full dive computer, and offline maps that sync before you lose signal. Ultra 4 is the tool you take when there is nowhere to plug anything in.
-
Backtrack
Off grid, Backtrack uses GPS to draw the path you have already walked, so you can retrace it. Add waypoints for a trailhead or a campsite.
-
Hiking workout
Track pace, distance, elevation gain and calories, watch your climb add up live, and get the total when you finish.
-
Custom routes
Build and save walking and hiking routes on your iPhone — one way, out and back, or a loop — with turn-by-turn directions on your wrist.
-
Offline maps
Download the area on your iPhone before you go and it syncs to the watch, so you still know where you are with no signal.1
-
Compass waypoints
Mark where you are, or drop a pin on a trailhead. Cellular and emergency-call waypoints record your last known location on each network automatically.
-
Full dive capability
The Oceanic+ app from Huish Outdoors turns Ultra 4 into a working dive computer, calculating and monitoring your dive parameters with the warnings you expect.2
-
Tides
Seven days of rising, falling, high and low tides plus sunrise and sunset, for shorelines worldwide and more than 115,000 beaches by name.
1 Offline Maps needs watchOS 26 or later and an iPhone 11 or later on iOS 26 or later, and is not available everywhere. 2 Oceanic+ requires a subscription and comes from the App Store. Apple Watch Ultra models support recreational scuba diving to 40 metres; always follow diving protocols, dive with a companion, and carry a secondary device. Both conditions are Apple’s, published at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4.
On the go
A way to reach help, even with no signal.
Away from cellular and Wi‑Fi, Apple Watch Ultra 4 can connect to a satellite — to message the people waiting on you, share where you are, or contact emergency services from your wrist without your iPhone.1
-
Emergency SOS via satellite
A few taps gathers what matters, finds a satellite and reaches emergency services.
-
Fall Detection
After a hard fall it can connect you to emergency services, give dispatchers your location and notify your contacts.
-
Crash Detection
In a severe car crash it can call for help, share your location and alert your emergency contacts.
-
Siren
Hold the Action button and Ultra 4 sounds a siren audible up to 600 feet — about 180 metres — away.
-
Messages via satellite
Send and receive texts, emoji and Tapbacks over iMessage or SMS when there is no network at all.
-
Find My via satellite
Share your location with people you chose before you left, so they know roughly where you are.
-
Flashlight
Light a campsite, find something in a pack, or stay visible on a night run. Assign it to the Action button.
-
Medical ID
First responders can pull your allergies and medications straight off your wrist.
-
Cellular and 5G
Text, talk, stream and train with the watch alone. Cellular service needs a wireless service plan.2
1 Apple includes Emergency SOS, Find My and Messages via satellite free for two years with activation of Apple Watch Ultra 3 or later. Find My and Messages via satellite need a carrier plan, and connection and response times vary with location and conditions. Satellite service is provided by Globalstar. To send and receive SMS over satellite from a cellular Apple Watch, your paired iPhone must be powered on and connected, though it does not need to be nearby. 2 Cellular service requires a wireless service plan, and 5G availability varies by market and carrier. Both are Apple’s terms, published at apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-4. Talk to us in store about which Verizon plan adds a watch line.
