By According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the 10th-anniversary Apple Watch model, also known as the Apple Watch Series 10 and rumored to be called the Apple Watch X, is anticipated to be the most significant redesign. This revamp may feature a larger display and a slimmer case.
Apple Watch X: Key Updates and Features
- Larger Sizes: Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the Apple Watch X will be available in two new sizes, 45mm and 49mm, which is a notable increase from the current 41mm and 45mm options. This brings the Series 10 closer to the dimensions of the Apple Watch Ultra, which features a 49mm case height.
- Slimmer Design: Despite the larger sizes, the new Apple Watch will feature a thinner chassis, aligning with insights from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman indicates that Apple is focusing on slimmer designs for their iPhone, MacBook, and Apple Watch lines.
Apple Watch Ultra May Receive a New Color
- New Color Option: Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentions that while the Apple Watch Ultra will retain its current dimensions, Apple might introduce a new dark titanium color for the Ultra model, contingent on satisfactory production yields.
Anticipated Features of the Apple Watch X
Magnetic Watch Band: Moving away from the traditional mechanical attachment, the Apple Watch X will feature a magnetic watch band. This innovation will enable a more compact chassis, allowing for a larger battery and additional internal components.
