In his newest be aware, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote that he believes the upcoming Apple Watch Sequence 10 will characteristic a thinner chassis and a bigger show, in comparison with Apple Watch Sequence 9. What is probably most stunning is simply how a lot larger Kuo believes the screens are getting.

Kuo says the Watch will enhance from the present 41mm and 45mm sizes to about 45mm and 49mm respectively. Bear in mind, in contrast to different Apple units, these sizes measure case peak of the watch, not diagonal display screen measurement. Naturally, a taller case additionally means a much bigger show. For comparability, the present Apple Watch Extremely can be measured at 49mm case peak.

It is a fairly dramatic leap. The brand new kind elements would make the smallest watch as massive as the present bigger Sequence 9, and the brand new larger mannequin would method — and maybe surpass — the Extremely display screen measurement. The Extremely will nonetheless be a bit bulkier total, as its chassis options thicker titanium design with a protruding crown guard, for example.

However nonetheless, if these numbers are correct, the display screen measurement leap could be notable for the principle Apple Watch line. It appears unlikely that hypothetically slimmer display screen bezels may offset a lot of this measurement enhance, because the Watch display screen already has super-slim borders.

The thinner chassis declare gels with what Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported yesterday, indicating that Apple is planning thinner designs for upcoming iPhone, Watch, and MacBook Professional fashions, sticking to a pattern began by the launch of the M4 iPad Professional.

Curiously, Kuo doesn’t anticipate the brand new Apple Watch Extremely to additionally get larger. He says it should have roughly the identical dimensions because the Extremely 2. Nevertheless, Apple might make a darkish titanium coloration possibility accessible for the primary time.

Rumors of a vital Apple Watch {hardware} redesign that makes use of new band attachments have been circulating for some time, however it’s unclear if that’s what Kuo is referring to or if the Sequence 10 might be a revision of the identical common kind issue. The ‘Apple Watch X’ redesign was beforehand urged as arriving in both 2024 or 2025.
