Apple Watch Series 10 to debut next month: From design to AI features, here’s what to expect

tech.hindustantimes.com:

Apple will unveil the Apple Watch Series 10 alongside the iPhone 16 next month. The new watch promises several updates, including larger displays, a more powerful chip, and new features. Here's a look at what's coming to the Apple Watch Series 10.

Apple is expanding the screen sizes of both Series 10 models. The smaller model will increase from 41mm to 45mm, while the larger model will grow from 45mm to 49mm. This change means that the small model will match last year's larger model, and the large model will be the same size as the Apple Watch Ultra.

This move reflects Apple's response to the popularity of the Apple Watch Ultra's larger screen. The Apple Watch has previously been available in 38mm and 42mm models. While the increase in size may not appeal to all users, Apple's decision is likely based on user data.

In addition to larger screens, the Series 10 will feature a thinner casing. Although specific measurements are not available, the reduction in thickness is expected to balance out the added screen size, helping to maintain a comfortable fit and a more streamlined appearance.

The new Apple Watch will be equipped with a more powerful chip, possibly named the S10. This upgrade is expected to improve the Neural Engine, potentially paving the way for advanced AI features. Apple's chip upgrades for the Watch have varied over the years, but with the rise of AI, more frequent enhancements can be anticipated.

Apple is likely developing new health sensors for the Series 10. Two features under consideration are hypertension detection and sleep apnea monitoring. Recent reports suggest that these features might not be available at launch, but if included, they would add significant value to the watch's existing health monitoring capabilities. The upcoming watchOS 11 will introduce a new Vitals app for sleep data, which may hint at sleep apnea
