| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Wednesday, September 10th, 2025. |
| 0:07.1 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We are sponsored this week by IMAISING. |
| 0:12.8 | Leading off today, we talked yesterday about the new AirPods Pro 3 and the new iPhone 17 lineup, |
| 0:18.6 | but we didn't have time to talk Apple Watch. During its odd-dropping event |
| 0:22.7 | yesterday, Apple announced not one, not two, but three new Apple Watch models. First, the Apple Watch |
| 0:29.7 | series 11 is here, and it includes 5G support, a more durable display that has twice the scratch |
| 0:36.4 | resistance, a new hypertension detection feature, |
| 0:39.6 | and more. In the big picture, the new Apple Watch Series 11 is quite similar to the series 10 |
| 0:45.2 | from last year. It encompasses the same thinner design, but comes in a new lineup of colors of |
| 0:51.3 | jet black, silver, rose gold, and space gray. The new hypertension |
| 0:55.8 | detection feature is meant to send you a notification when your Apple Watch detects that |
| 1:00.3 | you might have hypertension or high blood pressure. Apple explains that hypertension notifications |
| 1:06.4 | on Apple Watch use data from the optical heart sensor to analyze how your blood vessels respond to the beats of your heart. |
| 1:14.0 | The algorithm works passively in the background, reviewing data over a 30-day period, and will notify you if it detects consistent signs of hypertension. |
| 1:24.0 | Another new health feature coming to Apple Watch Series 11 is Sleep Score. |
| 1:28.5 | Sleep score is a new feature that Apple says is meant to help you understand the quality of your sleep and to learn how to make it more restorative. |
| 1:36.9 | Apple explains that sleep quality is influenced by multiple different factors like duration, bedtime consistency, how often you're waking up, and how much time is spent in each sleep stage. |
| 1:48.6 | With Sleep Score, Apple Watch helped users track each of those categories and signs it a transparent and easy-to-understand set of metrics for your overall sleep quality. |
| 1:58.2 | You can view the Sleep Score in the smart stack on the Apple Watch or in the |
| 2:02.7 | sleep app on Apple Watch or in the health app on your iPhone. Last but not least, the Apple Watch |
| 2:08.0 | series 11 also packs longer battery life with Apple saying you'll get up to 24 hours of battery |
