As it readies to celebrate 10 years of its patented watch in the next few years, Apple is planning on launching a new device aptly called the Watch X. According to Bloomberg, the forthcoming watch will allegedly boast a thinner case, a microLED display that provides better color and clarity, and a way for customers to monitor blood pressure. A final upgrade would be the inclusion of a magnetic band attachment, replacing the slide-in design currently in use and allowing space for a larger battery. Users will likely have to wait more than a year to get their hands on that model if it follows the annual release schedule. The Apple Watch Series 9 is on its way first and is rumored to be unveiled at an event next month.
