Apple Watch Series 12 features smaller display areas (down 2% at 46mm, 1.9% at 42mm) while the case grows slightly wider, resulting in larger bezels despite unchanged pixel resolution. The design follows a similar trend from Series 10, which also paired smaller screens with larger cases, though the Series 12 change is less extreme.
A leaker demonstrated Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro with an enhanced Dynamic Island supporting three simultaneous Live Activities in iOS 27, requiring the sensor region to shrink from 20.76mm to below 16.67mm. This feature, previously reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, represents the first expansion beyond the two-activity limit since the Dynamic Island's introduction on iPhone 14 Pro.
