As Apple’s highly anticipated Special Event approaches, set for September 9, expectations are soaring. This year’s event promises more than just new iPhones—it is also expected to unveil new Apple Watch models and potentially updated AirPods.
The buzz has been intense with rumors swirling about the latest devices. From speculative unboxing videos hinting at the iPhone 16 Pro Max to discussions surrounding the next-generation AirPods (4th generation), the excitement is palpable. However, this year’s event holds particular significance for the Apple Watch, marking a decade since its debut.
The Glowtime event will commemorate exactly ten years since the original Apple Watch was introduced as the surprise addition to the iPhone 6 launch on September 9, 2014. In keeping with this milestone, speculation is rife about the upcoming Apple Watch Series X, which will succeed the current Series 9.
Early rumors suggested that the Series X might feature a flat display akin to that of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. However, recent leaks from the credible source Majin Bu, reported by iMore, indicate otherwise. According to these leaks, the Apple Watch Series 10 will retain a rounded display similar to the Apple Watch 9, while its speakers will resemble those of the Watch Ultra.
Additionally, it appears that Apple may be moving away from stainless steel in favor of titanium, echoing the materials used in the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The new model is also expected to be thinner and will introduce updated sizes, replacing the current 41mm and 45mm options with 42mm and 46mm respectively.
The new Series 10 may also feature a Milanese Loop band made from titanium rather than stainless steel, available in color options such as “gold, black, starlight, original color.” The term “original color” likely refers to natural titanium, though this remains unconfirmed.
As with all leaks, it’s crucial to approach this information with caution until official details are confirmed. Fortunately, with the event just days away, Apple enthusiasts won’t have to wait long to see Tim Cook and the team unveil the new products and provide clarity on these rumors.
