Apple Watch Edition models start selling out just weeks before the Apple Watch Series 8 lineup is announced.
Several of the high-end Apple Watch Series 7 models with titanium cases are listed as “currently unavailable” on Apple’s online store in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and select other countries. In the United States, 41mm models are currently the most out of stock, but a few 45mm models are also out of stock.
The Apple Watch Series 8 models are expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 14 in September. In addition to two standard Series 8 models, Apple plans to introduce a “rugged” model with a larger display and more durable design that would be suitable for hiking and extreme sports, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. While the rugged model is said to have a titanium body, it’s unclear if it will be branded as an Apple Watch Edition.
Other hearing features for the Apple Watch Series 8 include the ability to detect if you have a fever and an “S8” chip with the same processor specs as the S7 chip in the Series 7. For more, check out our Apple Watch Series 8 guide.
