The Apple Watch 10 won’t have anything special

The bad news continues for those who were expecting a 10th anniversary Apple Watch with a design change and many new features. The truth is that There will be few changes, although some are interesting..

The next Apple Watch was going to be a “new” Apple Watch that would celebrate the tenth anniversary of its presentation, or at least that’s what has been rumored for months. But at this point, it’s highly unlikely that this will happen, as rumors suggest that a continuous model with an augmented screen and nothing else

. And today, Mark Gurman has already put the finishing touches to the few hopes we had left.

We had already explained to you a few days ago how the screen of the Apple Watch 10 would increase in size to the point of matching the screen of the Apple Watch Ultra. 45 mm for the smallest model and 49 mm for the largest, in addition to a thinner design. Well, Gurman reaffirms this rumor and basically tells us that this could be the only news regarding the next Apple smartwatch. What about blood pressure and sleep apnea sensors? It seems that Apple is having trouble implementing these features on its watch, for a variety of reasons.

There blood pressure measurement This is less accurate than Apple expected, according to sources cited by Gurman in his weekly newsletter. So it seems that this feature could be delayed, or if it were implemented, it would not give an accurate measurement with a voltage number, but rather it would tell us that there is a variation in the voltage numbers you have, indicating that it is high, nothing more. Referring to sleep apnea detection

having to use oxygen saturation measurement and being a feature that cannot be used in the United States due to the litigation against Masimo Corp, it seems unlikely that it will be able to launch this year unless an agreement is reached first.

Finally, a plastic Apple Watch could appear in the not-too-distant future, in an attempt to compete with other smartwatches that are cheaper than the Apple Watch. Replacing aluminum with plastic would lower the price of the smartwatch and would allow it to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch FE, which costs less than $200.
