Apple Watch to Get Major Redesign With New Band System Next Year
A known leaker says Apple plans a major Apple Watch redesign for 2027, featuring a new magnetic band attachment system and extra space for a larger battery, potentially breaking current band compatibility. The chatter traces back to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman about an “Apple Watch X” concept, with timing and specifics unclear and some rumors suggesting a delay rather than a cancellation. The redesign would follow Apple’s historical cadence of yearly iterations, roughly every three years per generation.
