Hereโs some potentially good news for Apple Watch owners who have Apple Watch Ultra screen envy: the Apple Watch Series 10 โ may get the same size screen as the companyโs 49mm outdoorsy watch. Thatโs in addition to other possible improvements, like a thinner case and a new chip that could โlay the groundwork for some AI enhancements down the road,โ according to Mark Gurmanโs latest Power On newsletter for Bloomberg.

The Apple Watch Series 10 may get an Ultra-sized screen
A new rumor from Bloomberg suggests that the Apple Watch Series 10 will have a larger screen and thinner chassis and that a plastic Watch SE is in the works.
The screen rumor seems to back up a CAD render from last month that showed a Series 10 watch with a two-inch display. Gurman says โ and that render appears to show โ that the watch wonโt otherwise feature any major design changes. If that means no magnetic watch strap attachments or whatever, Iโm putting that part of the rumor in the โgoodโ column โ like many, Iโve accumulated a number of watch straps over the years, and Iโd like to keep using them if I decide to upgrade.
As for new sensors, that seems cloudier, as Gurman says Apple is struggling with two big health sensor updates itโs been planning. The company reportedly hasnโt been able to get its rumored blood pressure monitorโs reliability up to snuff, and he writes that not being able to use its banned blood oxygen sensor is hampering its efforts to add sleep apnea detection.
Apple is reportedly planning a cheaper version of the Apple Watch SE to bring pricing in line with Samsungโs $199 Galaxy Watch FE. One way it might do this, apparently, is with a rigid plastic case. That could make the watch cheaper, sure, and perhaps lighter โ I can think of at least one other Apple product that could stand to benefit from a similar decision! (The Vision Pro. Iโm talking about the Vision Pro.)
Finally, Gurman says that the company is planning to release a Watch Ultra 3, but donโt expect big visual changes. It will reportedly get the new chip that will power the Series 10, though.
