In 2017, Apple introduced the iPhone. Apart from the notch at the top of the screen, the front is now completely like a screen.

Since Apple made iPhones However, the first generation of Apple Watch only came to market in the spring of 2015 – so it is not completely clear what date Apple is setting as the 10th birthday. When it comes to the Watch Series 10, interested parties should keep their expectations in check:

Larger screens and thinner housing
Regardless of the exact birthday, Apple will introduce the 10 series to everyone next fall, which the company cord Bloomberg developed it under the codenames N217 and N218. The larger of the two case variants should have a screen similar in size to the current Ultra Watch. The case will be flattering overall – but otherwise the design will not differ from previous models. According to Bloomberg, interested parties should not expect a major revision of the design language, as is the case on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.

New chip, hardly any other innovations
The Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely get a new, more powerful chip. However, according to Bloomberg, anyone who believes that AI features from Apple Intelligence can be implemented locally on new models must reduce their expectations: It is possible that Apple is laying the foundations for (simple) AI functions – but most of Apple’s smart features are not available on these models.

However, innovations are good: According to Bloomberg, sensors for high blood pressure do not work reliably enough – and therefore they will appear only another day. Apple is researching a health service that can detect sleep apnea – but things look bleak here too: The company relies on a blood oxygen sensor for this warning function, but Apple had to give it up due to patent disputes with the company -Masimo service Enable USA until now. Disputes are resolved. Therefore, it is not expected that Series 10 will have such a feature.

Finally, there is non-radioactive glucose measurement, which Apple has been researching for a decade. According to Bloomberg, Apple has reached a major milestone here, but market readiness is still years away.

Is the Apple Watch made of plastic?
The Watch SE is currently released in 2022 – but Apple does not serve the product series, but wants to compete with cheaper smartwatch models by reducing prices. Apple is investigating replacing the aluminum housing with plastic in order to be able to offer a more affordable model. It is currently unknown when the group will bring the new SE generation to the market. The launch of the product in autumn 2024 or spring 2025 will be possible.
