Apple Watch users may receive a ten-year celebration activity

Apple hasn’t released a major redesign of the Apple Watch to mark its tenth anniversary – despite many rumors that it would. Now, however, it could be that at least a small recognition in the form of a health challenge is planned for the Apple Watch’s birthday.

Notably, the code in the newly released developer beta for iOS 18.2 contains the words “Ten Year Celebration.”

The only other detail discovered so far MacRumorsis that the feature will be an activity challenge.

It is not known exactly what this anniversary challenge will look like, but it is also not known when Apple counts the anniversary. The Apple Watch launched on September 9, 2014, but didn’t ship until April 2015.

Since Apple is two months late for its release anniversary, the company is presumably planning to hold the activity challenge in April 2025. However, given the steady rollout of Apple Intelligence in multiple iOS 18 updates, it seems early to add one for April.
