Individuals involved in developing new Apple Watch models told Gurman that the existing band system takes up a large amount of space that could be better utilized for bigger batteries or other internal components. As such, Apple is apparently considering a magnetic band attachment system, but it is currently unclear if this specific method will be present on the ‌‌Apple Watch X‌ or if the company will choose something else‌.

    I’m sure you buy things too, don’t wave that angry finger at the people, wave it at capitalism.

    Also, most hardware manufacturers release something every year. Samsung fans users do the same thing.

        But Apple bad. [My favorite tech company] would never do such a thing!

        Like I do have a huge watch band collection and would be kinda miffed if I had to replace every band but the connector hasn’t changed for a decade. As long as the new connector can replace the metal ones on leather bands then I’ll just buy a box of those. It’s like when I retrofitted some of my other watch bands for the first Apple watch
