Ming-Chi Kuo Says This Year’s Series 10 Apple Watches Will Increase in Size
Ming-Chi Kuo:
The Series 10 will feature form factor upgrades, including larger
screen sizes (increasing from 45mm/41mm to about 49mm/45mm) and a
thinner design.
Unlike other devices Apple sells, Apple Watch sizes are given not by screen diagonal but by case height. So what Kuo is claiming is that the current “big” size will become the small size and the new big size will be much bigger. I find this very hard to believe. Since its inception Apple Watch has stood out among smartwatches for making models that are appropriate for people with small wrists.
Anecdotally, almost all women I see wearing and Apple Watch are wearing a small one, and I see a fair number of men who’ve chosen the smaller size as well.
Worth noting too that three years ago Kuo, along with Mark Gurman, was completely wrong about the design of the Series 7 watches, with both of them claiming it would have flat sides like the iPhone 12.
