The Apple leaks continue, a new set of images indicating that Apple is on the verge of offering both a new ceramic Apple Watch and a new titanium Watch.
Apple has sold ceramic watches in the past but did not offer a ceramic Series 4, and titanium is a wholly new direction for Apple Watch case materials.
The leak apparently emanated from a recent set of Apple Watch firmware, the assets showing show animation playing when the device is first set up. The animation mimics the back design of the Watch featuring the model name and the iconic ‘Designed by Apple in California’ signature.
The pictured assets are clearly destined for the 44mm watch screen, but iHelpBR has also found equivalent assets for the 40mm watch.
At the beginning of 2019, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that Apple would launch a new ceramic Apple Watch.
Apple debuted the ceramic Apple Watch Edition line with the Series 2, offering it in a white color. For the Series 3 generation, Apple sold a gray ceramic colorway too. For the Series 4, ceramic was removed from the lineup completely.
It’s unknown as to whether the stainless steel Apple Watch would be replaced by titanium, or offered alongside it.
It’s unknown as to what specific internal changes will be present with the upcoming Apple Watch models.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
