watchOS 10 should be a "fairly extensive upgrade" for the Apple Watch this year, with "notable changes" to the user interface, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. However, he did not provide any details about specific changes planned.

In his weekly newsletter, Gurman added that only modest hardware changes are expected for new Apple Watch models coming later this year.

Apple is expected to announce watchOS 10 at WWDC, scheduled for June 5 through June 9. At its annual developer conference, Apple is also expected to introduce iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, and tvOS 17, while Gurman continues to believe that Apple's long-rumored AR/VR headset and its xrOS operating system will be unveiled at WWDC.

In the meantime, Apple has seeded its latest round of betas, including macOS 13.4 for the Mac. Gurman said Apple will add support for new Macs in macOS 13.4, which is likely to be released to the public in May. Apple is rumored to be planning a new Mac Pro with an M2 Ultra chip and new MacBook Air models with an M3 chip.

Need some new Apple Watch faces. They are getting old. Also, Gurman said the same thing last Sunday about iOS 17. He could have said that last week as well instead of making us wait 🙄

What I'd love to have is a Watch face "Studio"/"construction kit" app on my Mac or even iPhone where I could play around with the various options (including hiding or removing faces I'm likely never to use) and then sync to my phone.

Currently, there are so many faces and so many options and the UI for managing these is subpar IMHO.

Let us create custom watch faces. And not like the current fudge method with those third party apps. That doesn't count.

Don't give me the BS excuse about people making a copycat Swiss watch face or whatever then. That's nonsense.

It would also be nice to control the hiding/visibility of apps that aren't used frequently. There's not a lot of space ob that tiny screen. They did a decent job in the first round, but as this product evolves some new thinking around its UI is warranted.

Apple Watch to feature "modest hardware changes"? Could have printed that every year since the release of the 4 or 5. It's amazing how little the Apple Watch has changed since 2018-2019 for those of us who don't want a satellite dish on our wrist.

It doesn't makes sense to me that Apple would release a M2 based Mac Pro and M3 Air. Perhaps the M2 Extreme was scrapped because the scaling wasn't working out like they had hoped; and decided to just move to the M3 for the Mac Pro.

If Apple does do what is mentioned then the Air is going have faster single core performance than the flagship Mac Pro product. How does that make sense?
