We know that Apple Watch 10 is coming soon, but the new smartwatch could be quite bittersweet At least, that's what Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports from sources inside Apple In other words, while the Apple Watch 10 will have some notable upgrades, there are also plenty of things not to expect
Let's start with the good news: according to Gurman, Apple Watch 10 will come in two sizes, both with larger screens than the Apple Watch Series 9 series In fact, the largest size is said to be almost the same size as the Apple Watch Ultra, a rumor we've heard before Apparently, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will not have much of a design change
It is also said that both watches will have entirely new chips, which will provide part of the foundation for AI on the wrist But here comes the first piece of bad news According to Garman, Apple Intelligence will not be available for the Apple Watch 10 or Ultra 3 If you want Ai, you'll have to choose between iPhone, iPad, or Mac for the time being
Garman also says that Apple has run into some "serious problems" regarding health features Rumors suggest that the device could include new sensors to track blood pressure and sleep apnea Sadly, these features do not seem to be working very well in testing
Blood pressure monitoring has proven to be not as reliable as Apple had hoped, Garman says Sleep apnea detection, on the other hand, is related to blood oxygen saturation, a feature that is tied up after Masimo successfully sued for patent infringement Unless Apple can come up with a workaround or find a legal loophole, the feature will either be delayed or eliminated altogether
On a lighter note, Apple has reportedly achieved a major milestone in the development of blood glucose tracking on the Apple Watch However, this is described as a "long-term goal," so it is unlikely to be launched in this year's model
Another Apple Watch SE could also be on the way, possibly with a hard plastic instead of an aluminum frame; Gurman speculates that this could be to bring the cost of the watch down to something comparable to rival smartwatches (such as Samsung's Galaxy Watch FE) Gurman speculates that this may be to bring the cost of the watch down to something comparable to rival smartwatches (like the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE)
Both new smartwatches should be unveiled along with the iPhone 16 at an Apple event in September
