I think that with a relatively heavily reimagining of watchOS 10, they might do a little something special with the Watch itself?
I think they’ve got to produce something special, this year.That would be nice but I doubt it. People will buy it any way.
I think it was S4/S5/S6 then S7/S8 as far as redesigns went. S4 introduced the larger screen of the S4/S5/S6 generation.The last big redesigns were S5 and S7, so if they keep up this pattern, S9 should be a redesign, but who knows. The big changes in Watch OS 10 makes me think Apple might keep the current hardware design for another year, as they tend to stagger major software and hardware updates. But then there's the chance they could bring some of the hardware features from the Ultra to the regular watch. In other words, I have no idea!
Okay. My recollection is that when I went from S4 to S6, I had to get a new case, because there was something different about the form factor, but I could get cases advertised for the S5 and they fit the S6. But I could be remembering wrong.I think it was S4/S5/S6 then S7/S8 as far as redesigns went. S4 introduced the larger screen of the S4/S5/S6 generation.
My guess would be that S9 would be similar to S7/S8 and we could see some kind of redesign for S10. That would be keeping in line with the three-year deign cycle of the iPhones also.
What elements of the Ultra do you see in Vision Pro?I feel like we'll see design elements of the Ultra come to both the 41mm and 45mm S10 models next year; I found it interesting how elements of the Ultra also found their way into the Vision Pro, and presumably, based on leaks, this year's iPhone Pros.
Just in the use of titanium, with the same orange accents as the Ultra. Also the perforation holes on the underside for ventillation, look like larger versions of the speaker holes on the Ultra.What elements of the Ultra do you see in Vision Pro?
Personally, I like the flat screen of the Ultra, and hope it comes to the regular Apple watch.
VP uses titanium? I must have missed that! I thought it was all aluminum. Which parts are titanium?Just in the use of titanium, with the same orange accents as the Ultra. Also the perforation holes on the underside for ventillation, look like larger versions of the speaker holes on the Ultra.
I stand corrected, my mistake.VP uses titanium? I must have missed that! I thought it was all aluminum. Which parts are titanium?
I think the Ultra does fit better, at least on my wrist. The larger size Apple watches were all uncomfortable to wear, yet I could wear the Ultra and it rested comfortably against my wrist, even though it's larger than the bigger size regular watch.I think we’ll continue to see incremental changes over time. Maybe they’ll come up with a way for the back of the watch to better fit the contours of one’s wrist (if that’s possible?) The design on the AW is becoming iconic and I don’t think Apple will want to make drastic changes to the design, especially in a way that would confuse the AW with a Garmin or Samsung, or any other WearOS design.
