Apple Watch Series 12 introduces a suite of AI-driven Audio Intelligence features designed to summarize daily activities and detect sounds. New reporting reveals that Apple has published detailed privacy documentation confirming that audio processing occurs within a hardware-secured enclave on the S11 chip to ensure user data remains isolated and protected.

  • 9to5Mac reports that Apple has released an 11-page privacy document explaining how the new Audio Intelligence features, including Live Rewind and Siri Recap, utilize the S11 chip’s Secure Exclave to keep raw audio isolated from the OS and apps. The report highlights that these tools are strictly opt-in, with Siri Recap allowing users to set specific schedules or locations for when the recording function is active.
