Apple is planning a rugged version of its smartwatch with a bigger screen: report

The application of Apple Inc. is giving its smartwatch a bigger facelift with its biggest display ever and a bigger battery and “rugged metal body,” Bloomberg reported late Wednesday, citing sources. The new watch will be designed for extreme sports enthusiasts and will boast a screen with a diagonal of nearly 2 inches. Apple will also launch a new standard Apple Watch Series 8, which will keep the current 1.9-inch screens. The larger screen will allow the user to display fitness metrics at the same time, and the sturdy metal used for the body will be stronger, along with a shatter-resistant screen. An Apple spokesperson declined to offer Bloomberg a comment on plans for the new rugged smartwatch.
