MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple is reportedly bringing back the ceramic casing for its Apple Watch with the upcoming Series 12 model, according to leaker Kosutami.
- The ceramic finish, originally introduced in the Series 2 in 2016, is made from compressed zirconia and alumina powder and is known for being four times harder than stainless steel.
- Apple discontinued the ceramic option after the Series 5 in 2019, and it has been absent from the lineup for six years, making it a sought-after finish among collectors.
- The Series 12 is expected to include a new chip and other minor upgrades, and will likely launch alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 4, iPhone 18 Pro models, and the first foldable iPhone next month.
- Bloomberg had previously reported the ceramic case might return in 2024 or 2027, with Kosutami’s latest information suggesting it will indeed arrive this year.
