The Story in Brief
Apple's design team is exploring a major overhaul of the Apple Watch, including the possibility of a model without a screen, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The company is also considering different display shapes, such as a round face, and smarter health features as it faces rising competition from screen-free fitness trackers made by Whoop and Oura.
The plans are still in the exploratory stage and no design has been finalised. For the near future, Apple is expected to stick with its current approach. The upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are said to bring under-the-hood performance improvements, along with new colours, bands, and a possible return of the ceramic case option.
The Indian Opinion
The tech press is hyping a 'screen-free Apple Watch' as if a launch is imminent, but that reading is premature. Bloomberg's report simply says Apple's design team is exploring ideas, not that anything has been finalised. For now, the upcoming Series 12 and Ultra 4 will merely get internal upgrades. A screen-free watch would be a radical shift for Apple, which built its wearable success on a mini-iPhone experience. The real test will come when Apple decides to release an actual product, until then, this is just R&D chatter.
