The upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to feature a larger display and a sleek design, according to a Bloomberg report. Apple plans to introduce significant changes to mark the tenth anniversary of its iconic smartwatch. The next-generation Apple Watch may sport a display size similar to the Apple Watch Ultra models and could be branded as an anniversary model, akin to the 2017 iPhone X.
Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 3: Design Upgrades
Bloomberg reveals that Apple has internally codenamed two models of the Watch Series 10 as N217 and N218. Both models are anticipated to feature larger displays, comparable to the Apple Watch Ultra. Additionally, these watches are expected to be thinner while retaining a design similar to the current generation.
The next-generation Apple Watch Ultra, however, is not expected to undergo significant design changes, focusing instead on performance enhancements.
Enhanced Performance with New Chip
Both the Apple Watch Series 10 and Watch Ultra 3 will be powered by a new chip, designed to support future AI-powered tools and features. While Apple Intelligence AI features are not yet integrated into the wearables, the new processor will lay the groundwork for future advancements.
New Health Monitoring Features
Apple intended to introduce new health monitoring features, including high blood pressure detection and Sleep Apnea detection, in this year’s models. However, these features have been delayed due to reliability issues during testing. The Sleep Apnea detection feature, requiring blood oxygen saturation level measurement, has also led to a legal dispute with Masimo Corp.
Despite these setbacks, Apple may announce these new health features at the anticipated launch event in late September, with a potential release at a later date.
Future of Health Monitoring: Glucose Tracking
Apple is also developing glucose monitoring technology for its watches, though this feature is not expected to be available on the Apple Watch Series 10. The ongoing development highlights Apple's commitment to expanding health monitoring capabilities in future models.
Conclusion
The Apple Watch Series 10 is set to bring notable enhancements, including larger displays and a sleek design, celebrating a decade of innovation. With new chips and anticipated health monitoring features, the Series 10 promises to elevate the user experience. Stay tuned for more details as we approach the launch event in late September.
