It often happens that files for different OSes contain clues about Apple's upcoming products, and it seems that this is also the case with watchOS 6, whose latest beta includes new information about the Apple Watch Series 5.
The site iHelpBR found two configuration images hidden in the watchOS 6 beta, which indicate that Apple is preparing an Apple Watch with a titanium case and another that would be made of ceramic.

The ceramic case is not completely new, as it made its debut with the Apple Watch Series 2, but Apple removed it with the Series 4. However, it seems that this case will make a comeback this year with the Series 5.
On the other hand, this would be the first time that Apple would offer a titanium case for the Apple Watch, we do not really know where this model will be located in terms of price in the Apple Watch range, but certainly above the basic aluminum model.
The only other Apple “product” that currently uses titanium is the Apple credit card or Apple Card.
These two images appear on the watch screen when you first set up an Apple Watch. They also always indicate a size of 44mm, and the iHelpBR site also found similar images for the 40mm case.
The Apple Watch Series 5 would therefore unsurprisingly be the same size as the Series 4, a model which introduced significant changes, such as a larger edge-to-edge screen or even an electrocardiogram.
If Apple follows its usual schedule, the Apple Watch Series 5 should be unveiled next month, probably on September 10 at the same time as the next iPhones.
