苹果发布 watchOS 27，正式引入 Siri AI
Apple just announced watchOS 27, the next version of its Apple Watch operating system, introducing support for Siri AI, a redesigned “dynamic” app grid, and improvements to health and fitness tracking. The watchOS 27 update will be available “this fall,” according to Apple, though support is notably limited — the new OS will only be available for Apple Watch Series 10 models or newer, including the Ultra 2, Ultra 3, and SE 3.
苹果刚刚发布了 watchOS 27，这是其 Apple Watch 操作系统的下一个版本。新版本引入了对 Siri AI 的支持、重新设计的“动态”应用网格，以及对健康和健身追踪功能的改进。据苹果公司称，watchOS 27 更新将于“今年秋季”推出，但值得注意的是，其支持范围有限——该新系统仅适用于 Apple Watch Series 10 及更新机型，包括 Ultra 2、Ultra 3 和 SE 3。
The biggest update coming to supported Apple Watch models is Siri AI — the next generation of Apple’s virtual assistant, powered by Apple Intelligence. This comes with a new, dedicated Siri app that “brings together all your conversations in one place,” according to Apple, allowing users to start a conversation with the chatbot directly on their Apple Watch, or ask questions on their iPhone and then pick up where they left off from their wrist. Siri can also perform actions in apps, including playing songs, sending emails, or setting new Activity ring goals without the user “having to look around for them,” Apple says.
对于支持的 Apple Watch 机型，最大的更新莫过于 Siri AI——这是由 Apple Intelligence 驱动的苹果下一代虚拟助手。据苹果介绍，新系统配备了一个全新的专用 Siri 应用，能够“将你所有的对话汇集在一处”，允许用户直接在 Apple Watch 上与聊天机器人开启对话，或者在 iPhone 上提问后，通过手腕上的设备继续之前的对话。苹果表示，Siri 现在还能在应用内执行操作，包括播放歌曲、发送电子邮件或设置新的健身圆环目标，用户无需再手动查找这些功能。
Siri AI won’t be available until the beta launches sometime later this year. Using it with watchOS 27 will require Watch users to pair it with an Apple Intelligence-enabled device, though Apple says Siri AI isn’t coming to iOS and iPadOS devices in the EU just yet.
Siri AI 要等到今年晚些时候发布测试版时才会上线。在 watchOS 27 上使用该功能，需要用户将手表与支持 Apple Intelligence 的设备配对。不过苹果也表示，Siri AI 目前尚未在欧盟地区的 iOS 和 iPadOS 设备上推出。
There’s also a new dynamic app grid that automatically highlights Siri-suggested apps. The Siri Apple watch app is displayed at the center of this new grid and will be surrounded by your most popular and recently used apps, making them easier to access without hunting around in the app menu.
此外，新系统还引入了动态应用网格，可自动突出显示 Siri 建议的应用。Siri 的 Apple Watch 应用会显示在这个新网格的中心，周围环绕着你最常用和最近使用的应用，让你无需在应用菜单中翻找即可轻松访问。
New insights are coming to Workout Buddy — the AI-powered personal trainer feature introduced in watchOS 26 — that provide a better look at your pace, distance, and workout duration, and improve run tracking for both outdoor runs and treadmill sessions. Menstrual health support has also been expanded to notify you when logged cycle patterns are suggestive of perimenopause. And after initially launching in English, Workout Buddy will now also be available in Spanish.
Workout Buddy（watchOS 26 中引入的 AI 个人教练功能）也迎来了新的洞察功能，能更好地分析你的配速、距离和锻炼时长，并改进了户外跑步和跑步机训练的追踪效果。经期健康支持也得到了扩展，当记录的周期模式显示出围绝经期迹象时，系统会发出通知。此外，Workout Buddy 在最初仅支持英语的基础上，现在也增加了对西班牙语的支持。
Apple has made some general system improvements in watchOS 27 too, including suggestions for more widgets in your Smart Stack, faster music playback, battery optimizations, a more streamlined experience in the Find My app for locating your devices, and a refined Liquid Glass experience that should make text easier to read. There’s also a new gesture that allows you to select a widget in the Smart Stack by tapping your index finger and your thumb together.
苹果还在 watchOS 27 中进行了一些常规的系统改进，包括在“智能叠放”中提供更多小组件建议、更快的音乐播放速度、电池优化、更精简的“查找”应用体验，以及经过优化的 Liquid Glass 视觉效果，使文字更易于阅读。此外，新系统还增加了一个新手势：通过食指和拇指互点，即可选中“智能叠放”中的小组件。
This is the follow-up to last year’s watchOS 26 update, in which Apple changed the numbering system of its various operating systems to match the upcoming year (switching from the watchOS 11 naming convention it used in 2024). Last year’s update, which rolled out in September, also introduced Apple’s Liquid Glass design language to the Apple Watch, alongside other features, including a wrist-flicking gesture control for dismissing notifications, Apple Intelligence-powered fitness features, and support for Apple’s Notes app.
这是继去年 watchOS 26 更新后的后续版本。去年，苹果更改了其各操作系统的编号系统，以匹配即将到来的年份（从 2024 年使用的 watchOS 11 命名惯例切换而来）。去年 9 月推出的更新中，苹果首次将 Liquid Glass 设计语言引入 Apple Watch，并带来了其他功能，包括用于关闭通知的甩动手势控制、由 Apple Intelligence 驱动的健身功能以及对 Apple Notes 应用的支持。
This year’s updates also come after Apple fitness chief Jay Blahnik, the creator behind the three-ring fitness tracking feature on Apple Watches, stepped down in April following allegations that he sexually harassed an employee and fostered a “toxic work environment.” Health and Apple Watch marketing chief Stan Ng also retired in April after 31 years with the company. Incoming Apple CEO John Ternus was put in charge of Apple Watch hardware in late 2022.
今年的更新是在苹果健身业务负责人 Jay Blahnik（Apple Watch 三环健身追踪功能的创造者）于 4 月离职后发布的。此前，他被指控性骚扰员工并营造了“有毒的工作环境”。健康与 Apple Watch 营销主管 Stan Ng 也在 4 月退休，结束了他在苹果公司 31 年的职业生涯。即将上任的苹果 CEO John Ternus 已于 2022 年底接管了 Apple Watch 硬件业务。
