Why it matters
As a major consumer electronics brand, Apple's product roadmap influences the broader wearable technology market.
Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman today further outlined what to expect from the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 set to be unveiled on September 9 .
While it was initially rumored that Touch ID may be coming to the Apple Watch this year, Gurman reiterated that he does not expect the Series 12 or Ultra 4 to have any major design changes compared to the current Series 11 and Ultra 3 models.
Gurman does expect a ceramic case option to return for the Apple Watch Series 12. Today, he revealed that Apple has tested both white and dark gray ceramic case options, like those offered for the highest-end Apple Watch Series 3 in 2017.
Another sketchy rumor claimed that the Series 12 would have a band with an embedded health sensor , but Gurman did not mention that.
