Apple is set to revamp the design of the Apple Watch in 2024, with the upcoming Series 10 expected to feature a thinner profile and potentially a new magnetic mechanism for connecting bands.

microLED is a display technology that offers better brightness, contrast, and energy efficiency than the OLED displays currently used in Apple Watch models.

[{"selector":"#anim-1f819351-0336-4d45-a279-32443a10ca98","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-566d31a2-4000-43a0-b902-7730d0fe2fea","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.54866%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Analyst Jeff Pu and Ross Young believe that Apple is working on a new high-end watch that will feature a 2.1-inch microLED display, but it is unclear if this will be the Series 10 or the Ultra 3.

BP Monitoring

[{"selector":"#anim-bf39bcfe-dc13-4914-9e56-f7ef125947a3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb6f551c-4029-49f3-a3e5-17d0fb01d001","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 209.51039%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The blood pressure monitoring feature will reportedly let users know if their blood pressure is trending upward and provide suggestions to lower it.
