  "textContent": "In addition to indicating that a new full-sized HomePod is in the works, and that the foldable iPhone will likely ship later than the iPhone 18 Pro models this year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today said he does not expect any major design changes for the next-generation Apple Watch models coming later this year.\n\n\nGurman revealed all of this information in a live Q&A call today on the _Bloomberg_ website, where listeners were invited to ask him anything about Apple.\n\nOver the years, there were rumors about everything from a radically redesigned \"Apple Watch X\" to a new style of watch band that attaches magnetically, but nothing like that has ever materialized. And based on Gurman's latest commentary, it sounds like the next Apple Watch will continue to look more or less the same this year.\n\nOf course, the Apple Watch Ultra did usher in an all-new design when it launched in 2022, but that model has only received iterative design changes since.\n\nA redesign is not necessary just for the sake of change, but users who are looking forward to something new might have to be patient, as it was recently rumored that a major Apple Watch redesign will not arrive for at least two more years.\n\nRelated Roundups: Apple Watch 11, Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Ultra 3\n\nTags: Bloomberg, Mark Gurman\n\nBuyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral), Apple Watch SE (Buy Now), Apple Watch Ultra (Neutral)\n\nRelated Forum: Apple Watch\n\n\nThis article, \"No Major Apple Watch Redesign Expected This Year\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
