If you’ve been looking at theApple Watchand thinking “I wish it were bigger”, we may have good news for you: a new report says that the next version, currently labelled as theApple WatchSeries X but almost certainly going to be called theApple Watch Series 9, will have bigger displays – including in the Apple Watch SE.
The report comes from David Hsieh, who is an analyst at technology research firm Omdia, and it says that the displays for the 2023 Apple Watch range – with the likely exception of theApple Watch Ultra, which is already massive – are going to be 5% to 10% larger.
Your wrists aren’t getting bigger but your Apple Watch might be
According toMacRumors, which spotted the research note, “the Series X will have 1.89-inch and 2.04-inch display size options”. That’s the size of the actual panel, but the visible area will be slightly less as the Apple Watch has rounded bevels.
The report hasn’t been greeted with universal joy; as one MacRumors poster put it, “Yeah… if Apple could stop size-creeping the wristwatch like they did their phones that’d be great. My wrist isn’t growing.”
Beyond the displays, we’re not expecting to see massive changes to the Apple Watch this year. In recent years the annual updates have been incremental rather than dramatic, but while a big change is coming in the form of microLED displays thosearen’t expected until 2025– and even then they’re unlikely to appear in the most affordable models.
