We’re just under one month from Apple’s annual September iPhone event, which should also see the debut of the Apple Watch Series 4. Alongside each new edition of the Apple Watch, Apple typically updates its array of band accessories with new colors and styles. Echoing shortages from previous years, it appears that numerous Apple Watch bands have either been removed or are currently unavailable to purchase on Apple.com ahead of next month’s event.
Very curious what Apple has up its sleeve for the next Apple Watch. Thinner? Smaller bezel? New sensors? Improved heart-rate monitoring?
I’m pretty doubtful that it will get smaller; there’s not much of a need to have anything smaller than the 38mm model. A bigger screen in a similar body size seems likely.
“…up it’s sleeve…” Nice.
Huh. Now I’m debating driving out to the Apple Store tonight to pick up a spare khaki sport loop. It’s my favourite any-time-but-summer strap.
The existing one still looks good, but it’s starting to stretch oddly.
Removing these bands means nothing. They did it in the spring when they dumped the darker ‘winter’ colors.
