14 DAY TRIAL // A new iPhone generation is just around the corner, and while people familiar with the matter previously said that some other products could also be unveiled on September 10, no specifics have been provided in this regard.
For example, Apple is expected to take the wraps off an Apple Watch refresh, albeit for now, it’s not known if this is a completely new-generation device or just an update to the existing Series 4.
However, if what seems to be an accidental leak by one of Apple’s top partners is anything to be believed, the next Apple Watch to see daylight could be Series 5.
Hermes, which makes premium bands for the Apple Watch, has recently published listings for “Series 5” devices, suggesting that Apple could take the wraps off the Apple Watch Series 5 at the September 10 event.
Apple Watch Series 5 or Series 4 refresh?
It’s believed that these listings are actually placeholders for new bands going live after the event, but at the same time, they can very well be just a blunder from Hermes’ side. Interestingly, the listings for the Series 5 bands have already been removed from the official website, so it remains to be seen if they are supposed to be republished later this week or not.
Meanwhile, many expect only subtle upgrades for the Apple Watch this year, possibly with new materials that could give the current generation a welcome refresh. Features like sleep tracking could finally be added in the next watchOS update, but for now, it’s still not clear if Apple wants this to work on existing devices or only support it on new models.
The next Apple event will kick off tomorrow, so we only have to wait a few more hours to find out everything about the company’s next-generation products.
