Over at Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” media event, Apple unveiled its long-awaited Apple Watch Series 10, complete with a wide-angle OLED display that is larger than the Apple Watch Ultra, the company describing it as the “biggest display and thinnest design ever.”
The new model measures 8.7mm thick, is nearly 10 percent thinner than the Apple Watch Series 9, and weighs 20 percent less than the Stainless Steel Series 9. The Aluminum cases also weigh up to 10 percent less, while the Series 10 also comes in Grade 5 titanium, replacing stainless steel.
Apple has stated that this is its fastest-charging Apple Watch to date, and can reach an 80 percent charge in 30 minutes. The unit also uses a new neural network to reduce background noise when making calls with the watch.
Apple has gone on to state that the Apple Watch Series 10 can play music and podcasts directly through its speaker for the first time ever. The unit also includes a new depth gauge (good to 20 feet), water temperature for pool and open water swims, and a new metal back that integrates the antenna into the housing.
Where health features are concerned, the new model can alert you to sleep apnea conditions. Apple says the algorithm was developed using machine learning and clinical data, and then validated in a large clinical trial.
The new Apple Watch Series 10 comes in Jet Black and Rose Gold, joining the existing Silver Aluminum colors. The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399, and $499 for cellular models, and will be available to purchase from Friday, September 20.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
