Wait what? Where did you see this? It would be crazy if the Series 9 doesn't get updated to the next watchOS

On their WatchOS page, about halfway down: https://www.apple.com/os/watchos/

Has to be a fuckup. watchOS 26 supported the Series 6 onwards. I don't think Apple has ever cut 3 generations of devices with a single yearly OS upgrade unless there's an underlying architecture reason for it before.

This might be the list for Siri AI supported watches or something.

		Seems you are correct, the beta is now showing available on my Series 9 at least.
