The Apple Watch Series X, coming ten years after the Apple Watch was originally announced alongside the iPhone 6, was initially rumored to be a major overhaul of the device. Now, it looks like the upgrade will be more minor than expected, focusing on new casing and display sizes, but with a design that continues to be effectively the same. The current 41mm and 45mm casing options are likely to be replaced with 45mm and 49mm models, meaning that the larger model would be the same size as the Apple Watch Ultra. The two models are expected to offer 1.89-inch and 2.04-inch display sizes, respectively.

The Apple Watch Series X could also feature hypertension and sleep apnea detection, a more efficient display, and a thinner logic board. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to be largely the same as the previous model, but potentially adding a black color option and the health features also coming to the Series X. A third-generation Apple Watch SE could also be on the way with the larger casing and display sizes of the Apple Watch Series 7, increasing from 40mm and 44mm to 41mm and 45mm.

We also discuss mouse support in visionOS 2 and our reflections on the AirPods Max after three and a half years with Apple's premium over-ear headphones.

How unprepared can you be for a thing like this? Hartley composes a whole line-up theory („Ultra is now in the middle“) on the basis that the Ultra is a 47 size, while it is a 49. 🙄

Sigh. Not everyone wants bigger. Apple seems to have an opposite design esthetic for the Apple Watch than the rest of the product line. Everything else is thinner each iteration - the watch seems to be getting bigger.

I currently have the smaller Series 6, and would love an Ultra that was smaller than the current one. I want the features, but in a low 40mm package.
