Future Apple Watches Might Ditch the Screen
Key Points:
- Apple is reportedly rethinking its wearable lineup, potentially introducing screenless devices or Apple Watches with new form factors, including round screens, to compete with simpler fitness bands like Garmin Cirqa and Fitbit Air.
- The company plans to release incremental updates with the Series 12 and Ultra 4 models, possibly including the first ceramic Apple Watch since 2016, before making more significant design changes.
- Apple is exploring a wider range of price points, from more premium models beyond the current Ultra and Hermès versions to more affordable options below the SE model.
- Future Apple Watches are expected to integrate AI more deeply, building on watchOS 27’s Siri enhancements and predictive app menus, with potential features like an AI-powered health coach.
