Apple Watch Series 10 May Get a Size Upgrade
Recent leaks suggest that Apple's next smartwatch iteration could be getting a notable size increase. According to CAD renders obtained by 91Mobiles, the Apple Watch Series 10 may feature a larger 2-inch display, up from the 1.7-inch screen on the current Series 9 model.
Key Points:
- Rumored 2-inch display (larger than both Series 9 and Ultra models)
- Slightly larger overall dimensions: 46 x 39.7 x 11.6mm
- Familiar design with digital crown and side button retained
While the alleged increase in screen real estate is noteworthy, the renders indicate that Apple is sticking with its tried-and-true square display format. The digital crown and side button appear unchanged from previous iterations.
Is This the Rumored Apple Watch X?
There has been speculation about a major redesign for the Apple Watch's 10th anniversary, potentially dubbed the Apple Watch X. However, these renders suggest a more incremental update:
- No sign of rumored microLED display technology
- Lack of reported new magnetic band attachment system
- Overall design language remains consistent with current models
It's possible that Apple is planning both a standard Series 10 update and a separate anniversary edition. Alternatively, more significant changes may be slated for a future release.
Health Features Still in Question
While display and dimensions are the focus of these leaks, potential health monitoring upgrades remain unclear. Rumors have circulated about blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection, but there's no concrete evidence in these renders to support those claims.
What's Next?
Apple typically unveils new watch models in September, so we may not have long to wait for official details. As always with leaks and rumors, it's wise to approach this information with a degree of skepticism until Apple makes an official announcement.
