Unveiled: The Revolutionary Prototype Sensor of Apple Watch Series 10 That Could Have Changed the Game

Apple Watch Series 10 Prototype with New Health Sensor

An alleged prototype of the Apple Watch Series 10, shared on X by 'Stella-Fudge' (also known as 'Choco_bit'), features a significant change in its health sensor design. The back of the device showcases a large circular sensor, smaller and more concentrated than those on the final product. There is also an additional ring light around the perimeter, though its purpose remains unclear.

The prototype runs watchOS 11.1, build number 22R5575x, which is an unreleased build between beta 5 and the release candidate. The stock apps cannot be installed as they are only available from Apple's internal network servers.

Speculation has centered on the possibility that this sensor was designed for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, a feature that could greatly benefit users with or at risk of diabetes. While Apple has been working on such technology for years, it is still believed to be several years away from integration into its devices.

Stella-Fudge, a known collector of Apple prototypes, adds credibility to the authenticity of this device.
