Details about Apple’s upcoming high-end variant of the Apple Watch Series 8 have been trickling out in recent weeks. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark German published earlier this month, the wearable will feature the largest display Apple has ever shipped on a smartwatch. As a result, it may also include a new design.
In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says the Apple Watch “Pro” will feature a new design. The company hasn’t revamped its wearable line since it introduced the Series 4 in 2018. Gurman notes that the new model will be “a little bit bigger” than Apple’s current Series 7 models to accommodate a screen that’s seven percent larger. – big. “It also won’t have those rumored flat sides,” he adds, noting that the redesign will represent “an evolution of the current rectangular shape.”
Additionally, Apple will reportedly use a “more durable formula than titanium” for the case, which should make the smartwatch more suitable for extreme sports. With a larger battery and Apple’s long-rumored “low power mode,” Gurman says the Apple Watch Pro can last several days on a single charge. It will also include the auditory body temperature sensor that Apple is preparing for the entire Series 8 line.
The high-end Apple Watch is one of many products Apple is working on for the fall and beyond. Gurman previously said the company plans to release a “flood” of devices next year. Among the more notable items the company is offering is a replacement for the original HomePod.
