Apple reportedly plans large screen for Series Watch 10

Apple notably didn’t announce any major hardware news during its WWDC 2024 last month, instead focusing on its new in-house AI, Apple Intelligence. However, the company has planned some changes to the Apple Watch lineup. BloombergMark Gurman reported.

Since the watch has been on the market for ten years now, Apple is revamping the Series 10 line – the original Apple Watch line. According to Gurman, the upcoming Series 10 will have a screen the same size as the Apple Watch Ultra.

The Ultra’s two-inch display serves to differentiate the model from other watches, so it’s unclear what the selling point will be for the Ultra 3, which Apple reportedly plans to launch in September.

Other expected improvements to the Watch line include a new chip for the Series 10 and Ultra 3 that will power some of the upcoming AI features, Gurman notes. For now, Apple users should only expect Apple Intelligence on their iPhones, iPads and Macs.

Elsewhere, Apple is said to be lowering the price of its $249 Apple Watch SE by replacing the aluminum casing with a plastic one. The change would allow the company to lower the price of the watch to compete with Samsung’s $199 Galaxy Watch FE, Gurman reported.

Apple hosts an event every September that focuses on the iPhone and Apple Watch, so anyone interested in new hardware will have to wait until the fall to see firsthand what new hardware Apple has in store.
