A number of recent reports have claimed that tech giant Apple is working on a new Apple Watch model. The new Apple Watch is expected to hit the market in September. Apple has kept the development of this new model well under the radar, which is why not much is known of it.
Rumors about the existence of a new Apple Watch model started circulating when Apple released its latest filings. The company has indicated that it is indeed working on a new model of its flagship wearable device.
The Apple Watch, despite being a flagship device, did not really perform well in the market. In general, smart wearable devices did not reach that level of popularity as smartphones. Nevertheless, Apple continues to innovate the smartwatch in order to appeal to the taste of today's market.
There is a debate about whether Apple will overhaul the design of the Apple Watch. Some rumors claim that Apple is working on an Apple Watch Series 5. Evidence to this is the fact that the tech giant has registered for new Apple Watch models, all of which are running on the new watchOS 6 operating system.
Another significant piece of information that helped shed light on the upcoming Apple Watch was uncovered by Brazilian site iHelpBR. The website has discovered a handful of references pointing to a ceramic and titanium Apple Watch models. The people behind the website were able to parse the watchOS 6 code and discovered these references.
This is not the first time that Apple has released a ceramic version of its flagship smart wear. The company has released such models for the Series 2 and Series 3 Apple Watches.
The last piece of evidence pointing to the possibility that Apple is working on a Series 5 Apple Watch came from notable tech analyst Ming-Chi Quo. In his latest report, he stated that Japan Displays would be responsible for supplying Apple with the OLED screens for the Series 5 Apple Watch. He added that the watch will finally hit the market in the second half of 2019.
Aside from these tidbits of information, not much is known about the upcoming Apple Watch. Apple has, for many years, built a reputation for closely guarding its upcoming devices. Nevertheless, if these rumors have any hint of legitimacy, it would appear that the public will finally lay their eyes into the new Apple Watch in less than a month's time.
