Apple Watch Series 12, Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 Debut in India: Price and Specs Revealed

CUPERTINO / NEW DELHI — Expanding its ecosystem of wearable devices, Apple officially announced the rollout of the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 in the Indian market during its global product showcase. The new devices come packed with major internal hardware upgrades, next-generation health-tracking algorithms, and deeper integration with Apple’s Siri AI features via watchOS 27.

Both smartwatches and the new wireless earbuds are available for pre-order starting today, with official sales across online stores and retail outlets set to begin on Friday, September 18, 2026.

Apple Watch Series 12: Advanced Heart Tracking & Classic Ceramic Return

The Apple Watch Series 12 introduces a overhauled Health Sensing System driven by the brand-new S11 chip. Featuring larger green LEDs and upgraded optical and electrical heart sensors, the watch now measures real-time heart rate every 5 seconds—sampling Heart Rate Variability (HRV) up to 24 times more frequently than its predecessor.

Apple has also brought back the fan-favorite ceramic casing option. The Series 12 comes in two display sizes—42mm and 46mm—available in aluminium, titanium, and ceramic finishes.

Key Highlights:

• Readiness Score: A daily score ranging from 0 to 10 that processes activity, sleep quality, training load, and vitals to give actionable recovery suggestions (Recover, Pace Yourself, Ready, or Go For It).

• Battery Life: Up to 24 hours of normal usage (a 25% improvement year-over-year) with fast charging that delivers 12 hours of power in just 15 minutes.

• Audio Intelligence: On-device processing for features like Siri Recap and Live Rewind to review recent spoken conversations securely.

Note: Apple noted that hypertension notifications will not be enabled in India at launch, as regulatory approvals are anticipated early next year.

Apple Watch Ultra 4: Built for Extreme Endurance

Targeted at endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 retains its bold 49mm titanium design while incorporating the S11 processor and enhanced pedometer tracking.

Key Highlights:

• Multi-Day Battery Life: Offers up to 50 hours of standard battery life and up to 84 hours in Low Power Mode, alongside up to 45 hours of continuous workout tracking in low-GPS modes.

• Rugged Finish Options: Available in Natural and Black Titanium, complimented by updated Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and translucent silicone Ocean Bands.

• Display & Water Resistance: Brightness up to 3,000 nits with 100m water resistance and depth gauge capabilities up to 40 meters.

AirPods 5: Pro Features in an Open-Ear Design

Alongside the smartwatches, Apple pulled the curtain back on the AirPods 5. The new generation democratizes flagship audio tech by bringing Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Adaptive Audio, and Conversation Awareness to standard open-ear earbuds.

The earbuds also introduce real-time Live Translation, hands-free Siri gesture controls (like nodding or shaking your head to answer calls), and a redesigned charging case option supporting wireless charging.
