Could Apple be gearing up for a new batch of Apple Watch bands? The company in the past has stated that their plan is to create a seasonal cycle, similar to fashion design where every season we would be treated to new designs, thus keeping the watch’s look fresh and fashionable for users who care about these kind of things.
That certainly appears to be the case here because according to reports, many have started to notice that Apple’s website has started to list many of its Apple Watch bands and the various Apple Watch bundles as being “sold out”. Now it could be speculated that Apple might have run into supply issues.
However as you can see in the screenshot above, it states that it is “sold out” versus the “temporarily unavailable” message that when we get when we see products that are short on supply, and when Apple is waiting for new stock to arrive. It has also been noted that even some of the pricier Hermès bands are listed as sold out.
It is unclear if this could mean more, but we have heard the rumors that Apple is planning on unveiling the second-gen Apple Watch later this year, but it does seem to be a bit long to remain out of stock on bands. Either way we’ll keep our eyes peeled and will update you guys accordingly.
