Mark Gurman, reporting for Bloomberg, predicts that Apple will reintroduce the coveted white ceramic casing for the Apple Watch Series 12 this year. The option was first offered with the Series 2 in 2016, costing $1,249 instead of the thousands of dollars typically associated with the device. The ceramic casing, made from compressed zirconia and alumina, is four times harder than stainless steel.
However, the material was not included in subsequent Apple Watch models, including the Series 4, 5, 6, and 7. Its absence has made the white ceramic finish a sought-after item among collectors in the resale market. For the upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, Gurman indicates that the devices will bring modest upgrades, including a potential new chip for enhanced performance.
Additionally, users can anticipate new colors and bands, along with advancements in health and fitness features. These new models are anticipated to be released alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first foldable iPhone next month.
