2024 Apple Watch Will Not Bring Any Major Changes To The Table At Its 10th Anniversary, No iPhone X Moment Next Year
Apple's iPhone and Apple Watch are two of its products with an annual upgrade cycle.

Coincidently, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg notes that the Apple Watch X will feature an overall thinner profile with a new band attachment mechanism. If Kuo is indeed referring to the Apple Watch X
