The Apple Watch Series X will launch in September alongside the iPhone 16 with a slimmer design, a larger screen and more power than ever before. However, it won’t have the new health features that were expected, such as sleep apnea detection or blood pressure measurement.
In the latest installment of his weekly newsletter, Power On, analyst Mark Gurman has indicated that the Apple Watch Series 10 will have the largest screen, with one of them being the same size as the Apple Watch Ultra, which has a 49 mm titanium case.
Bigger, thinner screens, same design and no health features: little by little we are learning more about the Apple Watch Series 10
Last week, schematics were leaked in which it could be seen that the large version of the Apple Watch Series 10 would have a 2-inch screen, which is slightly larger than the 1.93-inch one of the Apple Watch Ultra. However, although we will see larger screens in both models, the design will not change.
Another new feature of both the Apple Watch Series 10 and the third generation of the Apple Watch Ultra would be a much more powerful processor to pave the way to a future with AI in devices. Of course, at the moment, the company has no plans to incorporate Apple Intelligence into the Apple Watch.
As for health features, in the recently released report, Gurman states that we won’t see them this year. Blood pressure measurement is not giving good results and, at the moment, it is not reliable. When it launches, it will not offer exact data, but trends, just as wrist temperature measurement works.
Finally, we would not see the detection of sleep apnea either, as it is directly linked to the measurement of blood oxygen saturation, and such functionality cannot be found on Apple Watches sold in the United States. So, for both functions, we will have to wait.
