The Apple Watch has remained pretty similar throughout most of its iterations, but the 10th version might be the one that finally breaks the mold.
Apple has kept the design of its smartwatches fundamentally loyal to the aesthetics we saw on the first Apple Watch in 2014, but it looks like Apple has big plans for the tenth anniversary. According to Bloomberg, the Apple Watch X, which would technically be Apple Watch Series 10, is poised to get a significant design overhaul and some key upgrades under the hood.
The company’s design team is reportedly eyeing a thinner watch case for the Apple Watch X, which could arrive in 2024 or 2025. So far, Apple has adhered tightly to a square-ish format for the watch case with rounded edges for each generation. It has only tinkered with the side profiles, the physical buttons, and the thickness of the screen bezels over the years.
A slimmer case would mean tighter space inside the chassis, but it appears that Apple’s engineers are eyeing key upgrades instead of making sacrifices.
