Per title. We knew it was coming some day, tho perhaps not this soon. Will you be upset if you need ugly adapter to make your extensive + expensive watchband collection work?

    It’s not gonna happen. I’m gonna get downvoted for this but, Apple is no longer in the business of innovating if it loses them even a tiny amount of revenue. Hence why they wouldn’t put usbc on iphones until they were forced to. It doesn’t matter if the the new watch band connector they’ve been R&Ding is objectively better or not, it would set a precedent for the connector changing and people would stop buying as many watch bands for fear of the connector changing. So yeah I just don’t think they’ll do it, not until there’s a truly radical redesign that leaves no other choice.

    Anyhow I’m probably wrong, we’ll see, but this entire rumour set stinks to me. It’s too many big changes at once. When Apple has ideas for changes these days they trickle them out as slowly as they possibly can so that each year they can have at least one. Because they’ve taken the phone and the watch about as far as they can for now.
