Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for its iconic Apple Watch, with the potential release of the “Apple Watch X” around 2024 or 2025, marking the device’s ten-year anniversary. This upcoming model is expected to bring the most significant changes in the watch’s history after a series of smaller updates.
Apple Watch X with the biggest overhaul yet on the 10th Anniversary
According to insights from tech analyst Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch X could feature a sleeker design and introduce a new magnetic system for attaching bands. The current design, where bands are slid into the sides and locked, takes up valuable space inside the device, limiting improvements like larger batteries.
Gurman suggests that Apple is exploring a magnetic attachment method that might offer more space for enhancements, possibly impacting band compatibility. However, details about how this system will work in the Watch X remain uncertain.
Beyond the aesthetic changes, the Watch X might also introduce advanced elements like a micro-LED screen and sensors for tracking blood pressure. As per 9to5mac, this transformation could be as significant as the shift from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone X, potentially signifying a change in Apple’s approach.
Earlier reports mentioned a potential delay in launching microLED-equipped Apple Watches due to production chain reconfiguration, pushing the release from 2025 to 2026. However, this new report contradicts the earlier report.
Apple’s tradition of launching a new Apple Watch with incremental improvements has been consistent since the launch. Yet, Gurman’s insights hint at internal discussions about slowing down this rapid cycle, as new versions have shown diminishing novelty.
With the Apple Watch Series 9 expected to be a minor refresh this fall, all eyes are on the upcoming anniversary model. As Apple continues to explore radical solutions to re-engineer the Watch, fans, and industry experts will be eagerly awaiting more details on what could be a milestone in wearable technology.
