As per the leaker, the new models might shift from the existing 41 mm and 45 mm sizes to slightly larger 42 mm and 46 mm options, offering users a bigger, more immersive screen experience.
In different previous reports, Bloomberg’s trusted Apple correspondent Mark Gurman revealed that the 10th anniversary Watch 10 series will bring a thinner and more elegant body.
Gurman also suggested that the new smartwatches will offer larger screens indeed.
Moreover, the bigger size smartwatch of the two models in the Watch 10 series will be closer to the Apple Watch Ultra’s 1.9-inch screen diameter.
If these hints about the display type and sizes hold any truth, the rumour that the Apple Watch 10 screen will be flatter is also mostly likely to be true.
Apple Watch 10 will also reportedly have the new S10 chip. If true, this is going to be a major upgrade over its predecessor.
It will enable faster processing speeds and enhanced efficiency along with paving the way for future advancements in AI integration.
However, it will be interesting to see how much Apple Intelligence integration would be possible in a tiny chip since Apple has already hinted that even the iPhone 15 RAM seems to be insufficient to bring “AI for the rest of us.”
With its much-anticipated release, we will soon see what Apple has in store for this landmark edition.
Apple Watch 10 is expected to be unveiled during the iPhone 16 “It’s Glowtime” event, scheduled for September 9.
