The rumor mill is buzzing – according to Mark Gurman, a major redesign of the Apple Watch is imminent, which could be announced under the name "Apple Watch X." The planned launch in 2024 or 2025, on the smartwatch's 10th anniversary, promises a groundbreaking change compared to previous annual updates.
In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter revealed Mark Gurman shares exciting news about the Apple Watch. After years of minor changes, Apple is planning a revolutionary overhaul of the watch with the Apple Watch X. This update could be the biggest in the history of the smartwatch and marks a milestone.
A Step into the Future
The upcoming Apple Watch X is expected to be not only thinner than ever before but also introduce a new magnetic attachment system. This system allows for easy attachment and swapping of bands and demonstrates Apple's commitment to innovation and usability. While Apple has previously released new Apple Watch models annually, the company is internally rethinking this annual cadence. This is due to the limited addition of new features in recent years. Switching from a band-compatible sliding system to a magnetic attachment system could save space and offer the opportunity to upgrade the battery or other components. However, the magnetic system could mean that existing bands are no longer compatible. However, Apple seems willing to consider radical solutions to transform the Apple Watch X.
Exciting prospects for the Apple Watch X
