Apple Watch 10: Did Apple just accidentally leak it in iOS 18?

It's a small thing, but still, that doesn't look like any currently available Apple Watch.

Want to know what the new Apple Watch Series 10 looks like? You might be able to find out right now using your own iPhone.

A prolific leaker known online as Majin Bu tweeted that Apple may have accidentally leaked a sneak peek of the Apple Watch Series 10 on iOS 18.1.

Apparently, if you try to pair an Apple Watch with a fully updated iPhone, an image that doesn't look like any currently available Apple Watch pops up.

I don't have an Apple Watch on hand to test this out, but Majin Bu said the Apple Watch that appears on screen is bigger and has much thinner bezels around the display than anything Apple sells at the moment.

Rumors leading up to the big Apple event on Sept. 9 (where the next Watch is presumed to be announced) have suggested that the next-generation device will have two new sizes: 45mm and 49mm. For reference, the sizes for the current-gen Apple Watch are 41mm and 45mm.

It's a minor leak, but with just a few days to go before Apple lifts the veil off everything, we'll take what we can get.
