Apple launched watchOS 27.3 with Live Rewind and Siri Recap features

Apple has released the first beta of watchOS 27.3, adding Audio Intelligence features to Apple Watch. This feature is based on the S11 chip and includes Live Rewind, Siri Recap, sound recognition and Shazam music recognition. In particular, Live Rewind and Siri Recap are two new functions enabled in this update.

Live Rewind allows users to review text recordings of the last 15 seconds of conversation. When in use, the device emits a chime and displays an animation on the screen. Users need to press the Digital Crown twice to access this feature. Siri Recap works in the background, monitoring conversations throughout the day and creating a summary of headlines and key points. This summary is automatically generated and automatically deleted after seven days if the user does not save it.

All Audio Intelligence features require the user to actively enable them. Apple confirms that it does not store the original audio. Audio data is processed in a hardware-isolated area on the S11 chip, inaccessible to apps, the operating system, or Apple. These features do not identify the speaker. Siri Recap can be scheduled to work by time or location.

Live Rewind and Siri Recap require an Apple Watch Series 12 or Ultra 4 paired with an iPhone 16 or later that supports Apple Intelligence. Features are currently only available in English and are not available to users under 13 years of age. Apple plans to officially release watchOS 27.3 in December along with iOS 27.3.

"This feature works based on the S11 chip" so processing on a watch or phone requires IP16 or higher, right? IP15 pro and 15 pro max also support AI. If combined with AI processing on the phone, low-end AW must also be able to do it.
