due to its larger size, and even that might not happen until 2026. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also said last month that he believes the microLED display is at least two years away. Nevertheless, it’s possible that Apple could also add it to the “Apple Watch X” to make it that much more special. Besides the quality, Apple is also working on increasing the display size. There are rumors that Apple is currently working on larger 1.89-inch and 2.04-inch displays, which would be up to 10% bigger than the current Apple Watch Series 9 — and could also make them an appropriate size for a microLED panel. We Might See a Bigger Battery on the Apple Watch X In addition to making the new Apple Watch thinner, there are also rumors that Apple will feature an even larger battery in this wearable. Granted, there aren’t many rumors about this, but there have been some comments by Apple marketing VP Bob Borchers to indicate the company is working on improving the duration of the Apple Watch’s battery. If this is true, Apple might make some room for a bigger battery or improve the performance to manage the Watch’s power more efficiently. The Apple Watch X Will Feature New Bands Apple hasn’t really changed the way we attach watch bands to the Apple Watch, which is great for people who use older bands. However, that might soon change. According to Mark Gurman, Apple is thinking of using magnets to attach bands with the new Apple Watch models. This would remove the cutouts the current Apple Watch has, making it easier to switch bands while also providing more room inside the Apple Watch for a bigger battery or different components. Unfortunately, this will probably mean that your older bands won’t work with the new model, but it would be a way to make the “Apple Watch X” stand out from “older” models.
