This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch and The new model will have a thinner design and a larger screen which will bring it up to 49 millimeters, the same as that of the Apple Watch Ultra.
The Apple Watch is celebrating its 10th anniversary and, as happened with the iPhone X, this year’s model is expected to undergo, for the first time since its launch, a major design change. On the one hand, its thickness will decrease, but there will also be a change that will be more important for the user: the screen size will increase in both models. Thus, the small Apple Watch will have a 45 millimeter screen, while the larger model will go up to 49 millimeters..
The Apple Watch’s screen size has increased since its launch. Originally, the Apple smartwatch screen sizes were 38 and 42 millimeters., until with the Apple Watch Series 4 they increased to 40 and 44 millimeters. Coming to the 7 Series, the sizes increased to 41 and 45 millimeters, which were maintained until the latest models launched last year. In 2022 with the arrival of the Ultra model, with a sportier and larger design, the first Apple Watch model appears with a 49 millimeter screen. If the changes that Ming Chi Kuo is announcing to us today are confirmed, the smaller Apple Watch will have the same screen size as the current large model, and the large model will have a screen the same size as the Ultra model.
The bad news is that no significant changes are expected in the Ultra model, except for a new darker color which was already rumored last year but was ultimately not confirmed . This year we could see a black titanium Apple Watch Ultra, but otherwise the exterior design would remain the same. It remains to be seen whether this new Apple Watch, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, will be called “Apple Watch X” or if it will simply be an Apple Watch Series 10.
