The Apple Watch Series 7 could feature a smaller “S7” chip, potentially providing more room for a larger battery or other components.
The Taiwanese news site DigiTimes has published a new paid report published, which provides more details on the Apple Watch Series 7, claiming that the next-generation Apple Watch models will use a double-sided system-in-package (SiP) casing from Taiwanese supplier ASE Technology. On its website, ASE Technology confirms that its double-sided technology enables miniaturization of the modules, paving the way for a smaller "S7" chip.
Apple Watch Series 7: New design with flat edges?
The Apple Watch Series 7 models are expected to be released in September - just like in previous years. Mark Gurman and Debby Wu from Bloomberg have already reported that Apple has tested thinner display edges and a new lamination technique that brings the display closer to the front cover. According to leaker Jon Prosser, the new smartwatch could have a new design with flat edges. The integration of advanced health functions such as body temperature and blood sugar measurement is planned for a later generation. (Image: Jon Prosser x Rendersbyan)
