Apple is poised to incorporate a larger screen size and some other upgrades when the tech giant releases its Series 10 smartwatch, according to Bloomberg.
The outlet reported on Sunday that the planned upgrades for the two Apple Watch Series 10 models may be linked to the smartwatch celebrating its upcoming 10-year anniversary.
The change in screen size will make the Series 10 more in line with that of the Apple Watch Ultra, according to Bloomberg. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 features a 49 mm case.
On top of that, Apple reportedly intends to reduce the thickness of the models.
Apple customers will see the tech giant use a new chip to power the Series 10, according to Bloomberg, which could potentially help support future AI features.
FOX Business reached out to Apple for comment on the Bloomberg report but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
