towards the end of Apple’s iPhone 6 press event, CEO Tim Cook announced «one more thing», and after a brief video, appeared on stage wearing the first Apple Watch. The date of the original device’s unveiling has led some to wonder whether Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 event on Monday, September 9 could see a special tenth anniversary version of the Apple Watch debut.
The first chatter about a possible «Apple Watch X» appeared back in January 2023, when a French report claimed that Apple planned to skip the Apple Watch Series 9, much like the company did when it launched the iPhone X instead of an iPhone 9 model in 2017. Pronounced «ten», the «X» branding referred to the iPhone’s 10th anniversary.
That didn’t happen. Indeed, if «Apple Watch X» had launched in 2023, only nine years would have elapsed since Cook unveiled the original model, which is why the rumor was branded «sketchy.
