Apple's next release of the Apple Watches will no longer be compatible with existing bands. The next generation of the Apple Watch releases that are speculated for 2024 was said to be no longer compatible with existing or previous-gen ones, and this centers on the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 or X, with the Ultra 3.
Apple Watch Series 9 is still facing the block from ITC, especially its latest request denial. The ban for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 is still a go, and this was because of the latest development from the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) which denied this request.
In its attempt to delay the sales ban for Apple Watch Series 8 and Ultra 2, the iPhone maker appealed to ITC for consideration. However, it did not go as well as planned.
