Here’s some probably excellent news for Apple Watch homeowners who’ve Apple Watch Ultra screen envy: the Apple Watch Series 10 — may get the identical measurement screen as the corporate’s 49mm outdoorsy watch. That’s along with different doable enhancements, like a thinner case and a brand new chip that would “lay the groundwork for some AI enhancements down the road,” according to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter for Bloomberg.
The screen rumor appears to again up a CAD render from final month that confirmed a Series 10 watch with a two-inch show. Gurman says — and that render seems to indicate — that the watch received’t in any other case function any main design adjustments. If meaning no magnetic watch strap attachments or no matter, I’m placing that a part of the rumor within the “good” column — like many, I’ve collected a variety of watch straps through the years, and I’d wish to maintain utilizing them if I determine to improve.
As for brand new sensors, that appears cloudier, as Gurman says Apple is combating two massive well being sensor updates it’s been planning. The firm reportedly hasn’t been in a position to get its rumored blood strain monitor’s reliability as much as snuff, and he writes that not having the ability to use its banned blood oxygen sensor is hampering its efforts so as to add sleep apnea detection.
Apple is reportedly planning a less expensive model of the Apple Watch SE to deliver pricing in step with Samsung’s $199 Galaxy Watch FE. One means it’d do that, apparently, is with a inflexible plastic case. That may make the watch cheaper, positive, and maybe lighter — I can consider not less than one different Apple product that would stand to learn from the same determination! (The Vision Pro. I’m speaking concerning the Vision Pro.)
Finally, Gurman says that the corporate is planning to launch a Watch Ultra 3, however don’t anticipate massive visible adjustments. It will reportedly get the brand new chip that can energy the Series 10, although.
