The Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 16. Here’s what we know about Apple’s next wearable so far.
For the past several years, Apple has dominated the smartwatch and wearable market with the Apple Watch. Whenever you’re out and see someone wearing a smartwatch, it’s most likely an Apple Watch.
Apple has announced its big fall event, “It’s Glowtime,” which will take place on September 9, 2024. This date is significant because it is also the date that the very first Apple Watch was announced back in 2014, marking its 10-year anniversary. With that said, we should expect some changes to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 (or possibly the Apple Watch X). Here’s what we know so far.Apple Watch Series 10: release date
Historically speaking, Apple launches the Apple Watch alongside the next generation of iPhones. This year, that means the Apple Watch Series 10 will launch with the new iPhone 16 family. Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 16 event will occur on September 9. Again, this date is significant as it marks the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch.
With the event on September 9, preorders will likely begin the following Friday, with the official launch on September 20.Apple Watch Series 10: possible price
Apple has kept the Apple Watch Series line around the same price for the past several years, so we should expect a similar price for the Apple Watch Series 10.
The Apple Watch Series 9 currently starts at $399 for the GPS-only model and $499 for the GPS+Cellular version. Apple is likely to keep this price range for the Apple Watch Series 10, with the Apple Watch Ultra line retaining a higher price of $799.
We don’t have any big leaks or rumors about the Apple Watch Series 10’s cost, but we shouldn’t expect anything too far off from the norm. Of course, if there are any significant changes to the design or other upgrades, Apple could possibly bump the price up. For now, we just have to wait and see what happens.Apple Watch Series 10: design and display
There have been whispers about a possible change to the design of the Apple Watch Series 10. From what we’ve heard so far, this could likely be the biggest upgrade for the wearable since the Apple Watch Series 7.
According to some reports from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Apple Watch Series 10 will be thinner than its predecessors.
