Apple Watch users could soon see a unique activity challenge celebrating the device’s tenth anniversary. According to recently discovered code in the iOS 18.2 beta, Apple may introduce a “Ten Year Celebration” activity achievement for users. This new challenge could encourage Apple Watch owners to stay active while commemorating a decade of the popular wearable.
Code in iOS Beta Hints at Celebration Challenge
Hints of the anniversary challenge surfaced within the latest iOS 18.2 developer beta. The beta code includes the phrase “Ten Year Celebration,” suggesting that Apple is preparing to honor the milestone with a special activity. Details on the exact nature of the challenge remain unclear, but such events typically motivate users to complete fitness tasks or meet specific movement goals to earn exclusive badges.
When Will the Activity Challenge Be Available?
The timing of the anniversary challenge is still uncertain. The Apple Watch was first announced in September 2014, but it didn’t ship until April 2015. If Apple chooses to mark the shipping anniversary, the challenge might appear in April 2025. However, the presence of this code in iOS 18.2 suggests Apple could roll out the celebration sooner.
Apple Watch activity challenges have been popular for encouraging users to stay active. This potential ten-year celebration will likely appeal to long-time Apple Watch fans who have been tracking their health and fitness with Apple’s wearable over the years.
