Apple Watch Series 10 May Sport a Larger yet Thinner Design

A slimmer design and a larger display are possible for the Apple Watch Series 10. The chassis size will reportedly be increased by Apple from 41 mm and 45 mm to 45 mm and 49 mm.

Unfortunately, there won't be any big changes to the Apple Watch Ultra this year according to the firm. The only new color option it might receive is black.

The Apple Watch Series 10 may have a large display

It has been a few years since there have been significant hardware updates for the standard Apple Watch lineup. The latest few revisions have mostly concentrated on a brighter screen and internal enhancements. However, Ming Chi-Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities, thinks that this will alter when the Apple Watch Series 10 launches this year.

The analyst says the upcoming Apple Watch will feature a significant form factor upgrade in a Medium note. The business is planning to replace its current chassis with a larger, thinner, 45mm by 49mm chassis. Gurman's recent comments that Apple will be producing slimmer MacBooks, Apple Watches, and iPhones in the future are supported by the latter.

With the release of the Apple Watch Series 7, in 2021, Apple lastly raised the size of the watch's chassis. However, the bump was only 1 mm, going from 40 to 41 and 44 to 45 millimeters.

More room for a larger display and cell should be available to Apple with a larger chassis. Reportedly, the iPhone 16 Pro lineup will also get a size boost this year, so the larger display should complement the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 won't be receiving any significant updates.

Minimal improvements were made to the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra by the second iteration. According to Kuo, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may only have a new black casing option this year, making it similar to last year's model. The outcome of the production will determine the final choice.

Additionally, Kuo claims that the Apple Watch will reportedly use 3D-printed parts starting this year. The organization and its suppliers have increased the 3D printing efficiency over the past year through rigorous testing.
