Apple Watch would have been ready to receive a “significant overhaul” next year

At least a new Apple Watch model launched next year, a “significant overhaul”, according to the publication of the Taiwanese supply chain Digitimate.

In a remuneration report this week, citing the initiates of the supply chain, Digitimate said that an Apple Watch 2026 high -end model will include changes in “outdoor design”, including, but without limiting itself, “eight sensors arranged in a ring pattern visible through a glass cover on the underside of the watch”.

Earlier this year, images of an alleged prototype of Apple Watch Series 10 surfaced, and the device had a ring never seen with eight white lines. We do not know if it is the same ring as Digitimate Make refer, but it seems similar, so maybe it still happens on the Apple Watch 12 and / or Apple Watch Ultra 4 series next year.

More sensors would make sense, because the Apple Watch continues to obtain more health characteristics. For example, Apple would have tested a functionality that could alert you signs of high blood pressure. This feature was first the rumor before the launch of the Apple Watch Series 10, but Apple continues to deal with development challenges. It is not clear if the functionality will be ready in time for the Apple Watch Series 11 next month.

Beyond the sensors, BloombergMark Gurman reported once on the possibility of an Apple Watch redesigned with a thinner box and a magnetic band system. Although the 10 series is the thinnest watch of all time, the magnetic tape system has never materialized.

The report also indicates that the Apple Watch Series 11 will support Apple Intelligence, allowing smarter health management capacities, but we are skeptical about this assertion due to Apple Watch performance and RAM limitations. However, Watchos 26 adds new features “supplied by” Apple Intelligence, with the dependence of a paired iPhone.

Digitimate To a notoriously struck or lack of balance, so this report justifies a good dose of skepticism. In addition, the publication has become more an aggregator of Apple rumors in recent years, but he still publishes original reports from time to time. Earlier this week, he published an “exclusive” report corroborating rumors that Apple provides for a new MacBook at a lower cost with a 13 -inch screen and an A18 Pro chip.

Given that the Apple Watch 2026 range is still over a year old, there is a lot of time for more rumors, we must therefore know if this report is correct in due time.
