In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman
reports that the next major version of watchOS - ostensibly watchOS 10 - is
set to feature significant changes, including notable updates to the user
interface.
watchOS 10 will be officially unveiled at WWDC in June. This week, Apple
confirmed the conference will kick off on June 5, where its new operating
systems announcements will also coincide with the launch of Apple's first
mixed-reality headset device.
The design of watchOS hasn't changed much in recent years. The recent
releases over the last few years have introduced iterative improvements to
features like activity tracking and a handful of new watch faces.
Gurman believes that this year will be different, which is exciting prospect
for Apple Watch users. The more major software update will be in contrast to
a relatively minor year in terms of hardware. From the newsletter:
"I believe the new watchOS should be a fairly extensive upgrade - with
notable changes to the user interface - unlike iOS 17. It's important for
watchOS to have a big year given that the Apple Watch hardware updates will
be anything but major".
A more significant update to Apple Watch hardware is expected to arrive next
year, including the first Apple Watch to feature a micro-LED display.
