Apple Watch Series 10 health features could see delays, as rumors zero in on sizing
  • Apple may not have sleep apnea detection nor hypertension warnings ready to go when the Apple Watch Series 10 arrives.
  • Even with a slim new design, the displays on this year’s watches could be growing to 44mm and 48mm.
  • Expect an upgrade to water resistance, supporting even underwater athletic activity.

We’re just one short weekend away from Apple’s next big hardware event, set to reveal the iPhone 16 family. Of course, we’re expecting a lot more than just some new smartphones, and one the major Apple mobile accessories expected to make an appearance is likely to be the Apple Watch Series 10. Some of the rumors surrounding this hardware have been all over the place, and now as we get into the final stretch here, we’re trying to get to the bottom of what you can expect when it comes to features and design.

Last winter, we checked out a report from Mark Gurman, who talked about the possibility of the new Apple Watch picking up a couple advanced health tools: detecting sleep apnea, and delivering warnings about hypertension. He’s back today with an exhaustive breakdown of Apple’s plans over at Bloomberg, and shares a couple updates on availability.
