Apple Watch Reportedly Set to Receive 'Significant Redesign' Next Year

[Howard2k]

I’d get an ultra 3. And if the U4 is something that you want, trade it in and get the U4.

Also worth considering. 😀

this is always DA problem with this company nowdays. All the features and new design is always next year and not this year

These are rumors, not official announcements.

 

[Taq'aix]

Sigh. It’s always next year. I’m sick and tired of these kinds of clickbait articles that get recycled ad nauseam.

 

[Dr Nobody Important]

It is funny, we always see these rumors.

Careful, I’ve had my account restricted in the past for comments like this that criticize the editorial approach.

If it was landscape shaped I could be interested.

 

[chelsel]

Will it be round?

Will it be round?

Im guessing trapezoidal has a better chance.

If you take a look at competitors to the Ultra, and the “rugged” “sport” watch target market the design makes sense. It’s catering to the folks that want that kind of watch

And those who want better battery life. 😀😀

I'm gonna get my first one soon; either the alleged SE3, or the Series 10 if it goes on discount once 11 shows.

We changed the bezel again. You can now see six more pixels, it's truly stunning.

And how many times have we heard this…

 

[flybass]

Personally glad I haven’t felt like I’ve needed to upgrade my S8. Also good for more time to go by between first purchase and upgrade time. I was originally unsure if the watch is tech or jewelry. After some years, I’d say definitely tech given how Apple trashed the OS and the battery degradation.

Analyst on analyst:

“Oh Apple had to delay it”

 

[coolkid93]

rumors of a “big redesign next year” and then ultimately nothing happens. Take with a pinch of salt

 

[Tozovac]

This is very welcome but I'd also very much welcome thinner bezels. I love my Series 10, but I was disappointed at how big the bezels were when it was unveiled.

We all have unique desires but Anti-bezel desires are always so interesting to me. How much bezel is enough? How little is enough? How about zero bezels? Frameless, all glass Apple Watch? Zero protection. How about cars with no fenders and no doors. All glass iPhones with no edges so it’s impossible to add a case. Pictures on the wall with no decorative frame, as it could be argued, the frame offers no functional value. Why do we ever bother with crown moulding in a nicely designed living room? As bezels on a watch or Phone add functional structural integrity and provide something for the glass to be attached to, how can “less bezels next year” be so desired each year?

 

[Applewatch42]

Fun fact, while the AW 10's bezels do look bigger, with the frame bezels included, the AW10 has 3% smaller bezels.

I'd like to know how. Remember all those rumors of a flat-faced Apple Watch Series 7 way back in 2021 that all the leakers got TOTALLY wrong? Gawd, I hope we don't go through those shenanigans again.

Agreed

The one thing I'd love is better battery life.

Totally

These are all reasonable complaints on the Apple Watch, but Apple is feature-based. So of course the battery doesn't last long, it has to undergo all of these apps and whatnot that is on the Apple Watch. For some people, it's getting a different watch brand. For others, it's living with it. And then there is the 6th Generation iPod nano that can also function like a simplified Apple Watch with its watchband.

New bracelets? 🤣
