"The Apple Watch has seen upgrades at a glacial pace in recent years, especially when it comes to the design. A tipster suggests that the same strategy may carry over to next year when the Cupertino-based tech giant unveils the Apple Watch Series 12, which will receive minimal design changes. Instead, Apple is said to be reserving any major changes for the smartwatch lineup that will debut after its 20th anniversary of the iPhone, which is set in 2027."
"As per reports, Apple could move away from its sequential nomenclature for the iPhone lineup to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone. Consequently, it is expected that the iPhone 20 will be introduced instead of the iPhone 19 in 2027. Thus, the likely launch timeline of the redesigned Apple Watch could be 2028. Among the expected changes is a new magnetic locking mechanism to hold the bands in place."
Apple Watch design evolution has been incremental since 2015, including larger displays, narrower bezels, and more powerful chips. The Series 11 retained the flat-edged design with curved glass and an LTPO panel. Series 12 is expected to maintain the current design with only minor updates. A more substantial redesign is likely to arrive after 2027, potentially in 2028, coinciding with the iPhone 20 milestone. Possible changes include a magnetic locking mechanism for bands that could break compatibility with existing straps, and newly freed internal space that could accommodate larger batteries, new components, or MicroLED displays.
