YouTuber and podcaster Luke Miani joins us on this week's episode of The MacRumors Show to discuss all the latest rumors about the upcoming Apple Watch "Series X."
The Apple Watch Series X, coming ten years after the Apple Watch was originally announced alongside the
iPhone 6, was
initially rumored to be a major overhaul of the device. Now, it looks like the upgrade will be
more minor than expected, focusing on
new casing and display sizes, but with a design that continues to be
effectively the same. The current 41mm and 45mm casing options are likely to be replaced with 45mm and 49mm models, meaning that the Apple Watch Ultra would sit in the middle of the lineup in terms of size at 47mm. The two models are expected to offer
1.89-inch and 2.04-inch display sizes, respectively.
The Apple Watch Series X could also feature
hypertension and sleep apnea detection, a
more efficient display, and a
thinner logic board. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to be largely the same as the previous model, but potentially
adding a black color option and the health features also coming to the Series X. A third-generation
Apple Watch SE could also be on the way with the
larger casing and display sizes of the Apple Watch Series 7, increasing from 40mm and 44mm to 41mm and 45mm.
We also discuss mouse support in
visionOS 2 and our reflections on the
AirPods Max after three and a half years with Apple's premium over-ear headphones. See more of Luke's work over on
