watchOS 27 brings blood pressure monitoring and bill splitting to Apple Watch

The Short Version

Apple previewed three watchOS 27 features ahead of next week's announcement, including blood pressure monitoring pending FDA approval and AI receipt-based bill splitting in Apple Cash.

Apple is previewing three watchOS 27 features before next week's announcement: the Wayfinder watch face, previously exclusive to the $799 Apple Watch Ultra, coming to standard models; blood pressure monitoring, which Samsung already ships, pending FDA approval; and AI-powered bill splitting in Apple Cash that reads a receipt photo and divides the math automatically. The blood pressure caveat is doing a lot of work here. Samsung shipped it, Apple is still waiting on regulators.
