New Apple Watches Hinted at in Bluetooth Database as Launch Nears

[MacRumors]

Apple this week filed a listing for a 2023 watchOS subsystem in the Bluetooth product database. While not surprising, the listing suggests that Apple is gearing up to launch new Apple Watch models in September, as it does every year.

The listing does not reveal any specific details. The current Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch Ultra support Bluetooth 5.3.

This year's new Apple Watch models will include the Series 9 and a second-generation Ultra, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. He expects both models to be equipped with an S9 chip for faster performance, and new color options are also rumored, including pink for the Series 9 and a darker titanium finish for the next Ultra. A third-generation Apple Watch SE is not expected to be released until September 2024.

Overall, this year's new Apple Watches are expected to be minor upgrades compared to the current-generation models. Bigger changes are expected in 2024 or 2025, as Gurman said Apple is planning to launch a so-called "Apple Watch X" with a thinner design, and potentially a new magnetic band attachment system.

Apple should unveil the Series 9 and the second-generation Ultra alongside the iPhone 15 series during an event that is currently expected to be held on Tuesday, September 12. Apple has yet to formally announce the event.

You need to do a live blog on announcement day and/or order day. I thought I was an Apple fanatic. Sis, you got me beat and I love it. I hope they have a titanium version just for the regular  watch. Either way, its gonna be a good time.

Space Black with DLC coating is the only way to go for the Ultra 2 - I might jump for it

You forgot to mention about selling like hot cakes.

I think we need a macrumors bingo card.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Fingers crossed..

 

[macvicta]

I’m all for a thinner design, but the strap system is one of the best things ever invented. I hope they don’t change it.

you should credit the original authors of the images you embed in your posts (given that a large amount of your posts include images found online). but yeah, this would be cool to see. Contrasts well with the band there.

Diamond-Like Coating.

Thank you for your suggestion. I usually do when I tend to share a photo for the first time. Just can’t do it every single time. It will look redundant.

Same! But they have to ditch that unattractive orange action key color.

I kinda want a downloadable Coating. Just download a new color whenever you want. Lmao! 🤣

Agreed! Let go of the orange color and add Product Red as aesthetics.

I think Apple added the orange color last year due to Apple Watch being rugged and being able to handle extreme conditions. Hopefully, no more Orange this year.

Product Red would definitely be cool but knowing Apple it’ll probably take a decade or two before we could see that change.

I mean, where’s the iPad calculator?

Anyway, maybe they will change it with the new color 🤞😎

Still using my Apple Watch 7 and I cannoe wait to get the Ultra 2! September cannot get here quick enough!!

 

[Brooke795]

A little leer of a magnetic band connector. Too many bad things could happen with that. I’d like an ultra but may wait another year yet

 

[LoveToMacRumors]

The series 9 is like the iPhone 7 to the iPhone X, waiting for the big revamp

They can’t keep it the same forever.It will be 10 years old by next year so time for a change.
