In less than 48 hours, Apple will host its next big event, unveiling new products such as the iPhone 14 series, AirPods Pro 2, and Apple Watch Series 8. Now, new details have emerged regarding the new Apple Watch generation.
In a recent tweet claimed Mark Gurman said that there will be "a new set of straps for the Apple Watch Pro that is quite broad and takes on the theme of extreme sports." In other words, customers who buy the Apple Watch Pro will have access to a new range of straps made exclusively for this model. It remains unclear what exactly these straps will look like. Apple could take a similar approach to the straps the company has already developed in collaboration with Nike. Apple also sells Apple Watch straps designed for Hermès models. It is worth noting that Gurman has already said that old straps will be compatible with the Apple Watch Pro but will not fit perfectly. In addition, the journalist believes that there will be new watch faces designed exclusively for the Pro model that will show users more fitness information.
Apple Watch Pro design
On Monday a CAD rendering leakedshowing the possible design of the Apple Watch Pro. Unlike the current Apple Watch models, the new watch has a larger 47mm case and a flat screen without curved edges.
However, contrary to previous rumors, the Apple Watch Pro's body is not flat. The rendering also revealed a third, new button on the side. According to Gurman, this new button is "programmable," allowing the user to set different actions for it, such as opening a specific app, starting a workout, or any other action within an app. The Digital Crown also looks very different from that of the current Apple Watch models. The Apple Watch Pro is expected to be made of titanium. Together with the flat screen, this should make the device more accident-proof.
Apple Watch Series 8 and SE 2
In addition to the Apple Watch Pro, Apple will unveil two more new Apple Watch models. The Apple Watch Series 8, which is expected to replace the Apple Watch Series 7, is expected to have the same design and size as the previous generation, and the internal hardware is also similar. The main difference from the previous model will be a new body temperature sensor. The second generation of the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch SE 2, is also expected to keep the same design and sensors as the current model, but this time with a faster processor. Interestingly, a last minute rumor suggests that Apple will announce another Apple Watch model that is "cheaper than the Apple Watch SE" and aimed at kids and teens. Perhaps the company plans to keep the first generation Apple Watch SE as an even cheaper alternative. So, this whole thing should be pretty exciting.
