\"\"The third-generation Apple Watch, set to launch this fall, will have an “all-new form factor” according to Daring Fireball<\/a><\/em>‘s John Gruber.<\/p>\n

Gruber shared the news in a post highlighting Bloomberg<\/a><\/em>‘s news suggesting the device will include an LTE chip.\n<\/p>\n

\n

It’s hard to overstate just how big a deal this could be. No mention in Businessweek’s report, though, of the all-new form factor that I’ve heard is coming for this year’s new watches.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Most rumors about the third-generation Apple Watch have suggested it will be a more minor update that focuses on battery life<\/a> and other under-the-hood improvements, but ahead of the launch of the Series 2 Apple Watch, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the third version would include the device’s first redesign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though we’re likely just over a month away from the debut of the third-generation Apple Watch, if it does indeed launch alongside new iPhones, we’ve heard very little about the device. Aside from rumors of LTE connectivity and a focus on battery, we don’t know what else to expect.<\/p>\n

If there are major design changes in the works, Apple has managed to keep them under wraps, perhaps because of all the focus on the iPhone 8 this year.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Gruber updated his post to clarify that his information comes from “a little birdie” and that it might not be accurate: “That tidbit came from an unconfirmed little birdie, though, so I wouldn\u2019t bet the house on it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
