For the past two years, Apple has released new Apple Watch models in September alongside new iPhones.
These new Apple Watch models, Series 2 and Series 3 with LTE, kept the same design, but upgraded the wearable's components with a faster chip, a water-resistant case, and cellular support.
If Apple keeps the same pattern, it's likely to introduce new Apple Watch models soon, possibly as soon as the second week in September. Plus, this year it's possible that Apple introduces the first new Apple Watch industrial design since the product line was first revealed in 2014, which would make it the biggest upgrade in over 3 years.
Here's everything we know about the rumored new Apple Watch:
It could be called the Apple Watch Series 4, if Apple sticks with its current naming convention.Hollis JohnsonThe current model, Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE, can be identified by the red dot on the crown.
But it's also a good chance for Apple to change the name of the wearable, because rumor has it it could have a new design with a 15% larger display, according to renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
