The possibility of a return to a ceramic Apple Watch<\/a> body is growing, after a serial leaker posted about its arrival in the Series 12 model. <\/p>\n

Apple is anticipated to bring out the Apple Watch Series 12 this fall, but it’s not expected to be a major upgrade<\/a> or redesign. That said, there are rumors of a revival of a specific material. <\/p>\n

In an August 19 post to X,<\/a> leaker Kosutami was brief, writing “Hell yeah, Ceramic Apple Watch is back. We’ll see it at Series 12.” <\/p>\n

The leaker doesn’t add anything new to the conversation, but the utterance does help bolster existing rumors about it. <\/p>\n

In his August 9<\/a> newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman wrote about the return of ceramic to the Apple Watch. A return that could happen in 2026, with the Apple Watch Series 12. <\/p>\n

It was the first instance of that particular rumor for the upcoming generation of wearables. <\/p>\n

Bringing ceramic back<\/p>\n

Ceramic was introduced with the Apple Watch Edition Series 2, a premium variant of the Apple Watch, in white. The Apple Watch Edition 3 included a Gray ceramic case option alongside the white. <\/p>\n

The Edition series was missing for the Apple Watch Series 4<\/a> in 2018, but returned for the Apple Watch Edition Series 5 one year later. It went missing again for the Series 6, and hasn’t been used by Apple since. <\/p>\n

Kosutami has a relatively mixed record as a leaker when it comes to accuracy, and it’s not clear if this is a “me too” posting after the initial rumor earlier in August. However, the initial salvo from Gurman helps make the rumor seem more probable than if Kosutami posted alone. <\/p>\n

If it ships this fall, you can expect it to be a very expensive purchase. <\/p>\n

For reference, the Apple Watch Series 5 cost $399 or $429 depending on the size, with Stainless Steel and Titanium cases starting from $699 and $799 respectively at launch. By contrast, Ceramic at the time started at $1,299. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The possibility of a return to a ceramic Apple Watch body is growing, after a serial leaker posted…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1011440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[18],"tags":[705,158,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-1011439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-gadgets","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117124226846613280","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1011439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1011439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1011439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1011440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1011439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1011439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1011439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
