Apple Watch Series 10: Rumors reveal details of brand new design and titanium case

Rumors have been circulating for months that the successor to the Apple Watch Series 9 (approx. 450 euros on Amazon) will have a new design for the first time since the Series 7, with rumors so far mainly pointing to a larger, slightly thinner version of the current Apple Watch, which will be offered as either a 45 mm or 49 mm model. According to the latest information from leaker @MajinBuOfficial, the smartwatch will instead only grow minimally and will be offered with an edge length of 42 mm and 46 mm.

The design is set to change more than expected, as the Apple Watch Series 10 will not only be thinner, but will also have much more rounded corners – apparently a change that is intended to ensure that existing wristbands remain compatible and also look good on the larger case. The display will continue to be slightly rounded on all four sides. The speaker openings will be adapted to those of the Apple Watch Ultra, although the cheaper smartwatch will still have no action button.

The Apple Watch with a stainless steel case is to be replaced by a new model made of titanium, which will be available in gold, black, “Starlight” and gray, which should make the Apple Watch Series 10 a perfect match for the iPhone 16 Pro. According to the leaker, Apple could offer a top model made of ceramic, as was recently the case with the Apple Watch Series 5. Finally, the leaker claims that Apple is to fundamentally redesign the popular Milanese bracelet, the new bracelet can be seen in the images embedded below. Whether these rumors are true will become clear in just a few days, as the Apple Watch Series 10 will be officially launched on Monday, September 9, along with the iPhone 16.
