While the Watch Series 9 is due for an annual update, reports suggest that Apple may spring a surprise with the Watch Series 10.
While the recently concludedWWDCwas all about AI and software, the next Apple event will primarily focus on upcoming devices like theiPhone 16andApple Watch Series 10.
According toMing-Chi Kuo, a reputable Apple analyst, the Watch Series 10 will introduce the biggest design upgrade in years. He states that the upcoming Apple smartwatch will sport a larger display and a thinner design than its predecessors.

That’s not all. Kuo notes that the Apple Watch Series 10 will also come in bigger 45mm and 49mm variants. This means the company will likely drop the smaller 41mm watch from its lineup. He also details that the watch will have smaller bezels, resulting in a larger screen real estate.
Additionally, the Watch Series 10 has a “thinner design.” This is in line with Mark Gurman’sreport, where he said that after iPads, Apple is also working to make the MacBook Pro and Watch thinner.
While a bigger watch may not sound ideal for people with smaller wrists, a thinner watch with a bigger screen could be a worthwhile upgrade.
Gurman reported that Apple wants to create a “new class of Apple devices that should be the thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry.”

“Due to the cost advantages of 3D printing, BLT’s shipments of 3D-printed components are expected to continue to grow in the coming years, with the potential to produce Apple Watch cases,” he said.
Earlier he hadmentioned the samewas the case for Watch Ultra 2, explaining that 3D-printed components could be manufactured quickly and would be cheaper for Apple.
In his new report, Kuo also says that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to remain “roughly the same,” although a darker case option might be introduced.
