With the upcoming release of the Series 10, it is rumoured to introduce significant upgrades and enhancements. According to the reports, the new Apple Watch will feature a new display technology, potentially leading to increased battery life — a much-needed improvement for users.

The next Apple Watch is said to utilise a new type of OLED screen called a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide thin-film transistor (LTPO). This power aims to improve the power efficiency, potentially resulting in longer battery life compared to previous models. While the display may not appear different to the user, it allows for extended usage between charges.

In addition to the display upgrade, rumours suggest that the Apple Watch Series 10 may introduce new features geared towards enhancing the user experience and health monitoring, a feature already available on some competing smartwatches. This could potentially provide valuable health insights and alerts to users, contributing to Apple’s health-conscious approach.

Another rumoured feature is sleep apnea detection, aimed at identifying episodes of abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. Such advancements in health and safety features position the Apple Watch as a comprehensive health monitoring device, as reported by Forbes.

While the specifications of these features are yet to be confirmed, the excitement surrounding the Series 10 release continues to build. While users are impatiently awaiting more information and updates, it’s clear that Apple is focused on delivering innovative enhancements to its popular wearable devices.
