Apple Watch Series 10, which is likely to launch this September, will be a huge upgrade compared to Series 9. Literally.

Reliable Apple sleuth Ming-Chi Kuo said so in his latest note, claiming that the Series 10 will come in 45-millimeter and 49-millimeter sizes. That's a pretty big increase compared to Series 9, which comes in 41-millimeter and 45-millimeter screen sizes.

In fact, given that the Apple Watch Series 1 — the original Apple Watch — came in 38 and 42 millimeter sizes, Kuo's proposed sizing for the Series 10 would be a bigger step up than we've had in all nine generations of Apple Watch (the 49-millimeter Apple Watch Ultra 2 excluded, of course).

Kuo also said the new Watch would have a "thinner design," which is in line with what we've recently heard from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims Apple will focus on making many of its products a lot thinner in the near future.

Kuo also mentioned the Apple Watch Ultra, which he claims would remain "roughly the same," though Apple could launch new case color options (black/dark).

Finally, Kuo said that Apple plans to build the Apple Watch with some parts manufactured using 3D printing technology, which China's BLT being the supplier, starting in the second half of 2024. It's unclear what sorts of immediate benefits this could provide for the customers, though.
