Apple Watch Series 10 has a larger display and a thinner design – and it can detect sleep apnea

Apple has unveiled its latest Apple Watch Series 10 with its largest and most advanced wearable display, a thinner design and remarkable new health and wellness features including the ability to detect sleep apnea.

Apple also revealed an updated Apple Watch Ultra 2 which includes an all-new colour and finish.

Apple Watch Series 10 will go on sale on September 20 and start at $649.

It will be available in two new finishes – aluminium (silver, jet black and rose gold) and polished titanium (natural, gold and slate).

The updated Apple Watch Ultra 2 will also go on sale on September 20 and will be priced from $1,399.

APPLE WATCH SERIES 10

The Apple Watch Series 10 now has a larger display (46mm) than the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to offer up to 9 per cent more active screen area than Series 7, Series 8 and Series 9.

Screen sizes for Apple Watch Series 10 have increased from 41mm and 45mm to the new 42mm and 46mm.

It is also the first Apple product to include a new wide-angle OLED display which makes it brighter and easier to read at an angle including when your hand is in your lap, by your side and while you’re exercising.

But not only does it have a larger display it is also nearly 10 per cent thinner than previous models which was achieved by integrating the antenna into the housing of the device itself to join two layers into one.

Apple Watch is powered by the new S10 SiP chip which powers features like double tap, on device Siri, dictation, the ability to automatically detect your workout and detect safety features like fall and crash detection.

Apple Watch Series 10 also includes a depth gauge and temperature sensing when you hit the water along with the Tides app.

The depth gauge can go down as far as six metres beneath the surface which makes it a great companion for snorkelling and shallow diving.

Apple Watch Series 10 will also have faster charging capabilities thanks to a larger and more efficient charging coil.

This means users can get the battery up to 80 per cent charge in around 30 minutes.

Users can now play audio through the Apple Watch Series 10 speakers in the same way they can hear their phone calls.

This means you can hear music, podcasts and audiobooks right from the Apple Watch Series 10 without earphones.

Among the new features with the new watchOS 11 is the ability to detect sleep apnea – a condition undiagnosed by 80 per cent of sufferers.

Apple Watch uses the accelerometer on board to monitor a newly created metric called breathing disturbances.

Every 30 days, Apple Watch will analyse this data and notify you if it shows signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea and provide a detailed report you can show a doctor.

This feature will be available in Australia after regulatory approval.

APPLE WATCH ULTRA 2

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is now available in a new black titanium finish and with new bands.

The new black titanium finished is achieved with a new blasting process and diamond-like carbon physical vapour deposition coating over the Grade 5 titanium.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 is aimed users who want an elevated experience when it comes to fitness and outdoor activity in all terrains and in the water.

Apple says its GPS accuracy is the most accurate in a sportswatch so it can offer more accurate distance, route maps and other metrics.

On the sport and fitness side Apple Watch Ultra 2 is an ideal match for runners, cyclists, swimmers, hikers, divers and golfers.

The latest version of Apple Watch Ultra 2 also supports audio playback of content through the device’s speakers.

The Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 go on sale on Friday September 20.
