Apple Watch Series 12, Ultra 4 Leak Shows 128GB Storage and New Readiness App

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Sep 7

Summary

  • watchOS 27 and iOS 27 beta code points to four additions for Apple’s next watches: a standalone Readiness app, richer strength-workout tracking, a new optical-sensing system and 128GB storage.
  • The code places Readiness next to Workout in the default Home Screen and expands health data fields to log sets, reps, weight, equipment, body side and duration.
  • A sensor family labeled “Sunstone4p0” includes lower-noise coefficients and wrist- and orientation-based channel selection, suggesting improved heart readings when pulse signals are weak.
  • A NAND profile tied to the T8320 chip indicates Series 12 and Ultra 4 could double storage from 64GB to 128GB ahead of Apple’s expected unveiling later this week.
  • The leak aligns with Mark Gurman’s earlier report that Series 12 and Ultra 4 would add new health and fitness features.
