Apple's 2026 Watch & iPhone: Major Design Overhauls and New Features Await
Apple is gearing up for significant changes in its wearable lineup. The Apple Watch, set for a 2026 release, is rumored to undergo a major design overhaul and introduce new health features. Meanwhile, Apple's iPhone portfolio is expected to receive a camera-centric design refresh in just over a month.
The 2026 Apple Watch is anticipated to double its sensor count to eight, arranged in a ring shape under a transparent glass cover. This could enable advanced health tracking, including non-invasive blood glucose level analysis, which Apple is already exploring. Blood pressure sensing, similar to Samsung's Galaxy watches, is also expected. Rumors hint at cameras being added to the smartwatch, though it's unclear if the 2026 model will be the first.
The Apple Watch Series 12, due in 2026, is tipped to be a massive overhaul with substantial upgrades. It's expected to have significantly improved battery life, thanks to a next-gen sensor hub. Competitors like OnePlus have made strides in smartwatch battery life, lasting over two days with regular use. Apple is also working on non-invasive blood glucose level analysis, with other companies like Movano already developing similar technology.
In the iPhone realm, Apple will introduce a fresh portfolio in just over a month. Rumors suggest a camera-centric design overhaul for the 'Pro' flagships and a new ultra-slim sibling adopting the 'Air' branding.
The 2026 Apple Watch promises exciting advancements in health tracking and design. Meanwhile, the upcoming iPhone portfolio refresh focuses on camera improvements. As always, Apple's plans may change, and final details will emerge closer to launch. Stay tuned for more updates.
