A major Apple Watch redesign may be coming

Apple is considering a major overhaul of its Apple Watch, though what exactly that means is still very uncertain.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that the company’s next Apple Watch versions that are coming out this year will only get “modest upgrades,” which includes a performance boost, new colors and bands, health and fitness upgrades, and – possibly – a ceramic case variant, though it’s unclear whether that’ll happen this or next year.

In the future, however, bigger changes are in the works. According to Gurman, Apple is looking into wearables of all sorts, including ones with no displays, and those with different types of screens and various sizes.

Yes, that’s pretty vague, but when you consider that Apple Watch has pretty much looked the same since day one, it would be a pretty big move by Apple.

Apple is also reportedly considering premium models “beyond the Ultra and Hermès variants,” as well as cheaper models than the Apple Watch SE.

It’s early days, and Gurman says the company hasn’t settled on a single direction yet, and that the changes will “take time.”

Gurman also touched on the iPhone, saying that Apple is already planning a second and a third version of its upcoming foldable iPhone, scheduled to arrive in 2027 and 2028, respectively. Those variants will have “slightly larger displays,” both on the inside and the outside.
