5 things I want to see from the Apple Watch in 2025
- Apple Watch Series 10 was a pretty good one, but there’s still room for improvement in 2025.
- Apple should improve the battery life of the regular Apple Watch Series models to last more than a single day to stay ahead of the competition.
- An updated look to the Apple Watch is long overdue and could turn around the casual wearers’ interest for the device.
- Third-party apps can be downloaded to create custom watch faces, but Apple should enable the ability to create fully custom watch faces, which could be a game-changer.
- Apple should come up with a new band attachment mechanism like a magnetic band system or adapt a universal 20mm watch strap, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Watches.
- A major improvement, as it’s not impossible, would be to expand the charging features. Rather than sticking to a proprietary, standalone charging puck, Apple should allow jerseys to charge via a MagSafe charger.
- Though rumors suggest that Apple could release AR glasses in 2025, Apple Watch is still top of the wearable market.
- These upgrades would enhance the overall user experience for Apple Watch Series devices and attract more people to the device.
- It remains to be seen what next year, and even the next decade, holds for the Apple Watch. Still, users can look forward to Apple making some necessary improvements in the coming years.
- Exciting developments are still expected, even though some of these may be pipe dreams.
