A new rumor from a tipster on X suggests Apple's upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 will bring back ceramic as a case material. This move would diversify Apple's material options for the wearable while potentially increasing the average selling price, as ceramic models typically cost more.

The last time Apple offered ceramic was with the Apple Watch Edition Series 5 in 2019, marking a seven-year gap since the material's availability. It remains unclear whether white will be the sole ceramic color option as it was previously, or if Apple will introduce additional color choices.

The Apple Watch Series 12 is anticipated to debut in early September, possibly on September 8 or 9, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra at a special Apple event.
