In addition to the iPhone16 and AirPords 4 in September, the Apple Watch will also usher in an update, this time not called Apple Watch10, but called Apple Watch X, and the screen and body design will be renewed, and major upgrades will be ushered in in functions and configurations.
It is said that it was named so to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the product's launch, which reminds me of the iPhone X launch event, 7 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and those who have used the iPhone X, please leave your footprints in the comment area.
Although the Apple Watch is currently the best-selling smartwatch, it has actually entered a "squeezing toothpaste" update since the 6th generation, and there have been no major changes and highlights in recent generations in terms of appearance and hardware. And next up is the Apple Watch X, which is the biggest update ever for the Apple Watch.
First, let's start with the appearance. According to the German media Wordsmattr, the design of the Apple Watch X seems to be inspired by the "slim version" of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. This new watch features rounded corners and surprisingly narrow bezels, which is an absolute perfect score visually.
What's more, you'll probably find an 8-megapixel punch-hole camera at the top of the screen, which is designed to take your FaceTime video chats and selfies to the next level.
If you are a big fan of Apple products, then you must have noticed that the iPhone, iPad and Mac Book all use the design of rounded corners + flat body, and if the Apple Watch X also turns to this design, then Apple's four major pieces can be regarded as completing the design unification. In short, judging from the renderings, it feels like this look is quite good-looking.
And the way the Apple Watch X strap is connected has changed from the previous sliding mechanism to the way of magnetic locking, which has the advantage of a thinner dial and a better wearing feel.
In terms of configuration, the screen is printed with an OLED screen with a narrower bezel, a larger display area, a battery life of more than 18 hours, the chip is upgraded to S10, and the watch OS11 system is pre-installed, which will also support AI functions.
In terms of function,Apple Watch XInthal blood pressure detection function,It can monitor your blood pressure,That's not all,It can also detect your breathing patterns throughout the process when you sleep at night,And when the airway is blocked,Monitor blood oxygen levels during apnea,The price should be the same as the previous generationS9。
Summary: A big upgrade worth looking forward to
If it's true as the leaks say, then the Apple Watch X is undoubtedly an all-round upgrade. Having said that, the last major upgrade of the Apple Watch was the Series 6, and then it became a generation of "nail household" models. And this year's facelift may attract a large number of old users to change their products.
Will everyone upgrade to Apple Watch this year?
