A tipster has hinted that the next Apple Watch will be the Watch X. This will possibly imply that the Cupertino-based tech giant will be omitting the Apple Watch 9 from its lineup. The Apple Watch 9 seemed to be the logical choice for the next Apple Watch but the new details point in a different direction. The Apple Watch X will be released in 2024, according to the rumor.

As per the rumor, the Apple Watch X will sport a radical change from the previous models. It follows the same revolutionary principle used for the iPhone X, according to the rumor. The Apple Watch has evolved in functionality since its debut in 2014. The tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch is to be marked with a significant redesign of the smartwatch. There is no way to authenticate the rumor at this time and it could also be a farce.

However, Apple skipped the iPhone 9 to release the iPhone X, which launched simultaneously with the iPhone 8. The parameters for the Apple Watch are though not exactly similar to the iPhone X situation. A number of sources have mentioned the rumor relating to the Apple Watch X including iPhoneSoft. There are no details about the changes that will be introduced to the new smartwatch.

Apple has already undertaken a significant redesign of the Apple Watch Ultra in 2022. It is expected that the rumored Apple Watch X will follow the same redesign trajectory. An unnamed insider was connected with the leak but Apple has not made any official statement yet on the issue. Apple has a strong policy on identifying and disciplining insider sabotage leading to the unauthorized release of its trade secrets.
