Although the current Apple Watch Series 7 is the company’s greatest wearable, there is always the potential for advancement. The Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to improve, but depending on which reports you to believe, those looking for a major overhaul may be let down.
Here is all we believe to be known about Apple’s next wristwatch, which we anticipate the company will unveil in the autumn of 2022.
We may reasonably anticipate Apple will introduce a new watch with the same naming scheme we’re accustomed to – Apple Watch Series 8. A Series 8 Apple Watch is virtually certain to launch with whatever else Apple has in the works, even though more Apple Watches may be introduced simultaneously.
The Apple Watch SE is also anticipated to receive an upgrade. However, it is doubtful that the name would change. The latest generation is more likely to be called the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation).
Since it may be a completely new model, one specific Apple Watch might get a new name. According to rumors, the company will introduce a tough watch version this year. The “Explorer Edition” and “Extreme Sports Edition” are the two names currently being considered. The brand name “Apple Watch Pro” will probably be used by the corporation, as it does for many of its other devices.
I believe the firm will most likely stick with the Apple Watch Pro moniker and promotion as the tough Apple Watch, internally known as N199, will apply to extreme sports enthusiasts and customers who generally spring for Apple’s pro services. Apple has already made a big deal out of the existing watches’ robustness, so it’s obvious that this is a selling feature that the company thinks customers would like.
Designing the Apple Watch Series 8 is challenging since there are two possible outcomes. While it’s likely that the next wearable won’t appear all that different from the Apple Watch Series 7, there were rumors that the model from a year ago would have a new design with flat edges, but that didn’t materialize.
The whispers of a revamp, nevertheless, are back! According to a recent article, “a source recently told us that there is a flat front glass display for the apple watch display.” It is unclear which variants of the Apple Watch will include the new design or whether the flat display glass would require a redesigned casing for the entire device.
The new glass design of the Apple Watch Series 7 was particularly cited by Apple as a technique to increase the watch’s durability, so it wouldn’t be strange to see the firm go flat to enhance the durability even more. If a tough Apple Watch model is revealed, this design would also suit it.
The new iteration will also forgo aluminum in favor of a more robust metal in addition to a larger display size for the tough variant. What metal the firm has chosen is presently a mystery. The battery in the tough variant will be bigger. According to sources with the plans, Apple Inc. will include its biggest smartwatch display, a larger battery, and a tough metal case in the future Apple Watch aimed toward extreme sports enthusiasts.
Apple may be planning to update one model and introduce a brand-new one to the roster in addition to the basic Apple Watch Series 8.
According to a report, an upgrade for the Apple Watch SE is anticipated this year. It seems unlikely that the new Apple Watch SE will receive an update to the bigger screens introduced with the Apple Watch Series 7.
In addition to updating the Apple Watch SE, the business intends to introduce a brand-new rugged version of the Apple Watch that is made for use in harsh environments.
WatchOS 9 was the other significant announcement made this year at WWDC. That upgrade undoubtedly portends what the Apple Watch Series 8 will bring this autumn. As I previously stated, Apple is getting ready to release three new models: a new, lower-end SE, a regular Series 8, and a rugged variant designed for extreme activities.
According to the sources thus far, the tough Apple Watch might have the moniker “Explorer Edition” and could have a more robust build and long battery life. It makes sense for those who wish to use an Apple Watch in demanding situations like triathlons, rock climbing, mountain biking, and other activities that require durable equipment.
This time around, Apple is predicted to put an emphasis on health. Car collision detection has reportedly been coming to the next Apple Watch and iPhone—possibly the Apple Watch Series 8 and iPhone 14.
Even while there haven’t been many reports about an Apple Watch Series 8 with this feature, we first learned that the company wants to include sleep apnea tracking and detection in a future Apple Watch about a year ago.
Analysts have noted the addition of a new temperature sensor. Instead of precise temperature measurement, the technology will give a broad reading, enabling a function that will alert the user if they are experiencing a fever.
Unlike a forehead or wrist thermometer, the body-temperature function won’t give you a precise reading, but it should be able to determine whether it thinks you have a fever. Then it can suggest speaking with your doctor or using a special thermometer.
Pricing is challenging for several reasons, particularly given the present economic climate that the United States — and the rest of the globe — are experiencing. Prices fluctuate, but when Apple announces the price of the iPhone 14 before the Apple Watch Series 8 launches, we may get a hint as to what to expect.
Expect the 41mm Apple Watch Series 8 to start at $399 for the 41mm and $429 for the 45mm, and go up depending on bands and case choices if the company stays with Apple Watch Series 7 pricing.
Should it be revealed, the starting price of the tough “Explorer Edition” of the Apple Watch is likewise unknown. It is predicted that this model would start out more expensive than the regular and SE editions of the watch. The tough Apple Watch might cost as much as an iPhone 13 Pro, which costs $999.
I wouldn’t be shocked if the beginning price of the next high-end Apple Watch was closer to $900 to $999, which is the starting price of an iPhone 13 Pro, given that it would include a little bigger display, new sensors, and higher-end materials. We’ll soon learn Apple’s exact location in a few of months.
Although we can’t be certain, we can make an informed judgment based on prior years. The Apple Watch Series 7 was announced on September 14 of the previous year and went on sale on October 15. We may safely anticipate that the Apple Watch will be introduced in September alongside the iPhone 14 because it is often presented at the same event as the iPhone.
Whenever it launches, this will undoubtedly be the greatest Apple Watch ever produced.
