The Apple Watch Series 10 will undoubtedly be launched next month, at the same time as the iPhone 16. With it, Apple will bring several notable improvements. Among the most important changes are larger screens and a significantly refined case for a look . Here is a brief overview of what awaits us with the one that will mark the tenth anniversary of the range. The opportunity also, perhaps, to have an Apple Watch X name.
A look at the Apple Watch 10
Bigger screens
Inspired by the popularity of the Apple Watch Ultra, the Series 10 will feature larger displays:
- The small model goes from 41 mm to 45 mm
- The largest model goes from 45mm to 49mm.
The new “small” watch is the same size as last year’s large model, while the larger version is the same size as the Ultra. While this may not be to everyone’s taste, sales of the watch show that people want bigger and bigger products, and the same goes for the iPhone, where the “Pro Max” variant has been the best-selling model for years.
Thinner case
To balance out the larger screens, the Series 10’s body will also be thinner, addressing concerns about bulk and improving the overall design. No doubt the M4 iPad Pro will have served as a model for Apple’s engineers.
More powerful chip
The Apple Watch X is expected to feature a new S10 chip, most likely with improved AI capabilities. Apple appears to be looking to increase processing power, particularly in the Neural Engine to provide access to Apple Intelligence on the watch.
2 new health sensors
It’s always the one that gets the most attention from customers: the new health capabilities. Rumors point to new sensors for detecting hypertension and sleep apnea, although it’s not certain that they’ll be ready in time for the Series 10 launch. With these two new features, Apple would once again strike a major blow in a market that it dominates head, shoulders and even hips.
A less energy-intensive OLED screen
The 10 series models, the base version (formerly “Sport”) and the steel version (formerly “Edition”) will likely feature improved OLED technology, which will increase energy efficiency. This could mean better display quality, longer battery life, or a thinner design. This is also what is said about the iPhone 16 Pro.
Expected launch date
The Apple Watch X (10) will likely be unveiled in early or mid-September, with pre-orders opening the following Friday and the official release a week or two later. For the iPhone 16, there is talk of a keynote on September 10.
With its new design and enlarged screen, it’s a safe bet that sales will continue to be as good. Let’s also remember that an Apple Watch SE 3 is expected, with a plastic design.
