JAKARTA - Apple plans to overhaul the design of its smartwatch by releasing the Apple Watch X, as well as celebrating 10 years of this device that has been in the global market for a long time.

The launch of the Apple Watch X is expected in 2024 or 2025. However, according to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter, the company will release the Series 9 model earlier this year.

Next year's new Apple Watch X is a redesign of the Watch Series 10. Gurman stated that Apple wanted to complement the Watch X by featuring a slimmer design and introducing a new magnetic system for attaching the band.

New systems can result in longer battery life and many other capabilities. Currently, Apple is testing it. However, Gurman said it was unclear whether it would be ready in time for a display with the Apple Watch X.

The Apple Watch design now features a strap that must slide sideways and lock, taking up valuable space inside the device, limiting upgrades such as a larger battery.

Beyond these changes, the Apple Watch X may also feature a micro-LED display and sensors to track blood pressure, features other smartwatches including the Huawei Watch D have long had.

According to 9to5Mac, that transformation could be as significant as the switch from iPhone 7 to iPhone X, potentially signaling a shift in Apple's approach. This was confiscated from Gizmochina and Phone Arena, Monday, August 14.
