Rumors about display design trigger debate

Apple is preparing to unveil its new lineup on September 9th during the highly anticipated “It’s Glowtime” event. While the iPhone 16 series will take center stage, the spotlight will also fall on the Apple Watch Series 10. Although no official details have been released yet, rumors suggest that this watch will undergo a major redesign – especially when it comes to the display. However, conflicting leaks have caused excitement among tech enthusiasts as to whether the display will be flat or curved.

Initial leaks from whistleblower @MajinBuOfficial suggested that the Apple Watch Series 10 would have a flat display, similar to the Apple Watch Ultra. This rumor was fueled by leaked images of a screen protector, which suggested the next-generation watch would adopt this slimmer design. However, not long after, the same source posted an update claiming that the display would retain the more traditional curved shape, similar to previous models.

This back and forth has left many consumers asking for clarification, with some speculating that the flat display could belong to a different model, possibly called the Apple Watch Series X, which could feature either a chunkier or slimmer profile compared to the standard Series 10.

In addition to the screen debate, other rumors are also circulating about the watch’s specs and features. The Series 10 is expected to come in two sizes, 42mm and 46mm, slightly larger than the current models, which come in 41mm and 45mm. However, it still won’t come close to the 49mm of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The new design could also feature thinner bezels and a sleeker look.

Additionally, the Apple Watch Series 10 is rumored to have a speaker design similar to that of the Apple Watch Ultra, which could improve sound quality. As for materials, the watch could replace stainless steel with titanium, offering a lighter yet more durable build. Titanium could also lead to more color options, including gold, black, and starlight alongside the original colors.

While these rumors of new features have created excitement, it’s important to remember that nothing has been confirmed yet. The Apple Watch Series 10 could bring incremental updates or significant changes, but we won’t know for sure until Apple’s September 9 event. As always, it’s best to take these leaks with a grain of salt and wait for the official announcement. Whether it’s a flat or curved display, one thing is for sure: Apple’s next smartwatch will undoubtedly intrigue users with its new design and features.
