Individuals involved in developing new Apple Watch models told Gurman that the existing band system takes up a large amount of space that could be better utilized for bigger batteries or other internal components. As such, Apple is apparently considering a magnetic band attachment system, but it is currently unclear if this specific method will be present on the ‌‌Apple Watch X‌ or if the company will choose something else‌.

    I don’t see how a purely magnetic watch band attachment could work for a watch, but I guess we’ll see. Would definitely be a shame to loose band compatibility.

        I’m sure you buy things too, don’t wave that angry finger at the people, wave it at capitalism.

        Also, most hardware manufacturers release something every year. Samsung fans users do the same thing.

        TBH my watch is the one device I sometimes wish it would just crap out just so I could justify to myself buying a recent model. But it keeps trucking so I hang on to it.

        It’s an amazing piece of tech.

        Too poor to afford Apple. Got it.
