Major Apple Watch Redesign Allegedly Pushed to 2028, Leaker Claims

A major redesign for the Apple Watch may still be several years away, with a new rumor suggesting the company will stick with minor updates until at least 2028. The prediction comes from leaker Instant Digital on Weibo, who claims the next few years will bring only 'conventional' updates to the popular wearable.

According to the post, the Apple Watch lineup will see another incremental update next year. A redesign is also reportedly not a certainty for 2027, with the leaker suggesting a new look may not be unveiled until the year after the iPhone's 20th anniversary.


That 2028 timeline would place the new watch design after the launch of Apple's 20th-anniversary iPhone in 2027, a device already rumored to bring its own significant upgrades. The report offers no details on what a future Apple Watch redesign might entail.
