Apple Watch Series 10: Everything We Know So Far
Jul. 11, 2024Apple Watch 10 Rumored Design
Last month, Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that theApple Watch Series 10 could get a major overhaulwith a larger display and a thinner design. Kuo reported that the Apple Watch Series 10 might come in 45mm and 49mm size options, complemented with a thinner design. That’s a notable increase from the current 41mm and 45mm sizes.
While the previous rumors hinted at a dramatic redesign, the CAD renders didn’t show any such evidence. Rather, they depict the straightforward revision of the Apple Watch Series 9 with a square display, a similar Digital Crown, and a Side button. Also, the renders don’t show any signs of a thinner case and a magnetic band attachment system, which has been rumored for a while now.
Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to arrive with an array of new health features. One of the biggest possibilities is the inclusion of Blood pressure monitoring, allowing the smartwatch to detect hypertension. Although the Apple Watch won’t provide specific systolic and diastolic readings, it can inform users if their blood pressure is increasing.
The upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 could also arrive with Sleep apnea detection. With this feature, the Apple Watch Series 10 can use the collectedsleep dataand breathing patterns to monitor any signs of sleep apnea.
According to Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a new magnetic attachment system that would free up space taken up by the cutouts for the current band attachment points. The available space could be utilized for a larger display or other internal components, ultimately leading to a thinner case. It’s worth knowing that an Apple Watch with a magnetic band attachment system won’t be compatible with older bands. At the moment, it isn’t clear if the magnetic band system will be ready for the Apple Watch X launch.
If there’sone thing to hate about the Apple Watch, it has to be the battery life. Most Apple Watch models can only last up to 18 hours with normal use, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 can last you up to 36 hours on a single charge. Although you can use theApple Watch’s low-power modeto make your smartwatch survive a little longer, a solid battery life still remains at the top of every Apple Watch user’s wishlist.
Based on the previous pricing, the Apple Watch 10 or Apple Watch X might start at $399 for a 41mm size option. Whereas, the larger 45mm model might cost you $429. For cellular support, you might have to spend $499 for the 41mm size or $529 for the 45mm size model.
That’s everything we know so far about the Apple Watch Series 10. We’ll update this piece as new leaks and rumors pile up in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
