The ceramic Edition Apple Watch died officially with the Series 5, possibly due to low sales, though more likely due to Jony Ive's departure. With Ive out of the picture, the chances of a new series Ceramic are very very low.

However, I was just looking back on that Series 10 49mm render that 91mobiles leaked, and I noticed something... odd...

Those leaks show this very large shelf between the body and the display. Go ahead, and check your watch, and you'll see the display flows pretty seamlessly into the body. Except on the ceramic models.

On the ceramic models, the display doesn't sit flush, because the body is actually a little thicker in all dimensions. Ceramic is hard, but it's also brittle, so they have to be thicker to support an internal steel skeleton, and just hold up better to dings and drops. This thicker structure creates a pronounced lip under the display.

I could be reaching, just something interesting I noticed in the cad render. I saw in one news post a while ago that a 10th anniversary edition watch was going to be it's own standalone thing. What if it's not, but instead just a special case material?

What're your guys' thoughts?
