It boasts the company’s largest-ever display on the standard Apple Watch lineup, which is now said to be 40 percent brighter than its predecessor.
At 9.7mm, Apple says the Watch Series 10 is also its thinnest-ever Apple Watch. It sports a polished aluminium frame made using Silicone nanoparticles. The company has also unveiled a titanium variant of the Apple Watch Series 10 that is said to weigh less than the stainless steel Apple Watch Series 9.
Under the hood, the Apple Watch Series 10 is powered by a new S10 chipset with a four-core neural engine which is claimed to be 30 percent smaller. Users can also now play music and podcasts directly on their smartwatch using the inbuilt speaker. The smartwatch offers up to 50m water resistance. Apple says Watch Series 10 is its fastest charging smartwatch yet, with up to 80 percent of charge achieved with just 30 minutes of charging.
Another notable upgrade this year is the inclusion of a sleep apnea detection feature. Apple Watch Series 10’s accelerometer can measure breathing disturbances. Additionally, the smartwatch also checks restfulness in sleep. Using machine learning, Apple analyses this data every 30 days and shows this data to the user, informing them of any irregularities in their sleep cycle. This feature is said to be available in 150 countries.
Apple Watch Series 10 also carries features offered by its predecessor such as medications reminder and Atrial fibrillation (AFib) alerts.
