                    1Hypertension notifications are not intended for use by people under 22 years old, those who have been previously diagnosed with hypertension, or pregnant persons.
- 
                    2The ECG app is available on Apple Watch Series 4 and later (excluding Apple Watch SE models) and can generate an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram. Intended for use by people 22 years old or older.
- 
                    3Irregular rhythm notification requires the latest version of watchOS and iOS. It is not intended for use by people under 22 years old or those who have been previously diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib).

- 
                    5Sleep apnea notifications are available on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and SE 3. The feature is intended to detect signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea for people 18 years old or older without a diagnosis of sleep apnea.
- 
                    6The Vitals app is for wellness purposes only and not for medical use.
- 
                    7The temperature sensing feature is not intended for medical use. Temperature sensing is available only on Apple Watch Series 8 and later, Apple Watch SE 3, and all Apple Watch Ultra models.

                    9Emergency SOS requires a cellular connection or Wi-Fi calling with an internet connection from your Apple Watch or nearby iPhone. You can use cellular models of Apple Watch to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that cellular service is available. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from your Apple Watch if your Apple Watch isn’t activated, if it isn’t compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, if it isn’t set up for cellular service, or if the cellular network does not support emergency calling over IMS. See support.apple.com/en-jo/108374 and apple.com/watch/cellular for more information.

                    10Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch SE 3 have a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that they may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, they should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water. Apple Watch Ultra 3 have a water resistance rating of 100 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. They may be used for recreational scuba diving (with compatible third-party app from the App Store) to 40 meters and high-speed water sports. They should not be used for diving below 40 meters. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information, see support.apple.com/en-jo/109522.

                    14All-day battery life including sleep tracking is based on the following use: 300 time checks, 90 notifications, 15 minutes of app use, a 60-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, and 6 hours of sleep tracking over the course of 24 hours; Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS) usage includes connection to iPhone via Bluetooth during the entire 24-hour test; Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS + Cellular) usage includes a total of 4 hours of cellular connection and 20 hours of connection to iPhone via Bluetooth over the course of 24 hours. Battery life in Low Power Mode including sleep tracking is based on the following use: 530 time checks, 160 notifications, 26 minutes of app use, a 60-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, and 6 hours of sleep tracking over the course of 38 hours; Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS) usage includes connection to iPhone via Bluetooth during the entire 38-hour test; Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS + Cellular) usage includes on-demand cellular connection and 30 hours of connection to iPhone via Bluetooth over the course of 38 hours. Testing conducted by Apple in July and August 2025 using preproduction Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS) and Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS + Cellular), each paired with an iPhone; all devices tested with prerelease software. Battery life varies by use, configuration, cellular network, signal strength, and many other factors; actual results will vary.

                    33Apple’s Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards, and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
