In the latest episode of The MacRumors Show, hosts discuss the future of the Apple Watch. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests the white ceramic case, previously available in the Apple Watch Series 2 and Series 5, may return for the Series 12 or in 2027. This would revive a feature that was discontinued with the Series 4 in 2018. The white ceramic case, touted as four times harder than stainless steel, was eventually discontinued for the Series 6 in 2020.
Despite the watch's expected modest upgrades, Gurman believes there could be a major overhaul in 2027 or 2028, potentially featuring a new band attachment system and a larger battery. Sources claim Apple is also considering screenless fitness bands and smart rings as future designs, as well as more AI-focused wearables and a revamp of the Health app.
