Apple has been gaining momentum in recent days with news surrounding the company. In fact, the date on which the company will unveil its new devices has even surfaced. While Apple is set to introduce the new iPhone 15 series and wearable devices at a conference on September 12th, there are also claims about unreleased devices. Now, information has emerged that the upcoming Apple Watch will be produced using the 3D printing method. Does this move indicate a glimpse into the future?
Apple Watch Series 9 will be built with 3D printer
Excitement is building ahead of Apple’s September event as the brand gets ready to release its next iPhones, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. Additionally, the company will introduce new wearable devices, namely the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. An interesting point of focus is that Apple seems to be testing a new production process this year, possibly incorporating 3D printing, particularly evident with the upcoming version of the Apple Watch.
According to Mark Gurman, a reputable figure known for his reliable leaks, Apple is currently testing a new 3D printing method for the stainless steel version of the upcoming Apple Watch Series 9. While this might not hold much significance for the end-users, it can be a strategic move for Apple to save time, money, and resources.
Although most of these benefits may become apparent later on, this change could also contribute to the company’s sustainability efforts. A complex process like this isn’t something Apple develops overnight. In fact, Gurman states that the company has been refining this process for at least three years. While the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 might be produced using this new method, Apple is not expected to fully transition to this new technique until next year.
iPhone 15 Pro Max faced production problems. iPhone 15 was the last of the models to enter mass production.
Mark Gurman also mentioned that if this process proves successful and allows Apple to save time, money, and certain resources, it could potentially be applied to other products as well. This raises the possibility of the method being used in the iPhone 16 series.
During the event, we may gather more information about the production process of the new devices. Fortunately, Apple’s next event is scheduled for September 12th, so we won’t have to wait too long to see these new products on store shelves.
