Apple to bring Watch Series 10 with big upgrades in 2024 (2024)

FAQs

Is Apple coming out with a new watch in 2024? ›

Apple Watch Ultra 3 may have a new chip and a bigger battery, but design similar to the Ultra 2. Apple is likely to unveil its third 'Ultra' watch in September 2024, alongside the iPhone 16 series, a report from Macrumors, backed by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, suggested.

Apple tends to keep its watch releases at a strict schedule, releasing a new Apple Watch every year. The Apple Watch Series 9 came out in 2023, meaning the Apple Watch Series 10 is thought to be coming out this year, in 2024.

In an earlier Bloomberg report, Gurman said that the Apple Watch X will have a thinner case and a new magnetic band attachment system, which could free up space for a larger battery.

Can I use the trade-in value to buy a new Apple Watch? Yes, if you qualify for instant credit you can use the value of your device towards your order before sending back your Apple Watch (chargebacks will apply if we do not receive the device in the alloted time).

When was the Apple Watch Series 9 released, and how does its release date fit into the Apple Watch release order from previous years? The Apple Watch Series 9 was announced on September 12, 2023. General availability in stores started on September 22, 2023. So basically, you're able to purchase the timepiece now.

The ability to measure blood oxygen is no longer available on Apple Watch units sold by Apple in the United States on or after January 18, 2024.

Mark Gurman, in a recent Bloomberg blog post, confirmed the inclusion of a blood pressure checker in the highly anticipated Series 10 Apple Watch, set to debut this fall.

Apple Watch Series 10 may have better battery life

Citing a report from South Korean publication The Elec, MacRumors noted that this advancement stems from the implementation of low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology.

Bring it to an Apple Store. A Specialist will inspect your device and give you an exact value on the spot.

If you purchased your item from Apple in the U.S., you can take it to any U.S. Apple Store for an exchange. Item exchanges are, of course, subject to in-store product availability. It's a good idea to check if a product is in stock by visiting apple.com and then seeing if it's available for pickup at a store nearby.

Is an iPhone 15 worth it? ›

Yes, the iPhone 15 is worth it, although we reckon it depends on what phone you're upgrading from. Still rocking an iPhone XR or an 11 with a cracked screen and a blurry camera? You're going to find levelling up to the iPhone 15 a revelation.

While the device might keep working and can still be paired to an iPhone after Apple ends support, a lack of updates makes it a security risk. That means the end of life should really be thought of as three to five years, even if the Apple Watch is in perfect condition.

Overall, the Apple Watch Series 9 is a worthwhile upgrade for those coming from an older watch like the Series 4. There's still plenty to gain if you're coming from a more recent watch like the Series 6, but its changes will feel most impactful to those with a watch that's more than three years old.

The so-called Apple Watch X, which may debut this year or in 2025, could reportedly have a thinner design, a new mechanism for attaching bands, a microLED screen and blood pressure monitoring, Bloomberg says.

Replacement equipment that Apple provides as part of the repair or replacement service may contain new or previously used genuine Apple parts that have been tested and pass Apple functional requirements.
