Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 7 almost two weeks ago. However, not all details were announced. Now, thanks to the official FCC documents, a new feature has been discovered.
From the FCC documents It appears that the Apple Watch Series 7 has a 60.5 GHz wireless module for fast data transfers. What it is used for, however, remains unclear. The 60.5 GHz module is only activated when connected to a proprietary wireless serial dock. This rules out the wireless module being used in normal operation and is likely limited to internal Apple development tools or use in the Apple Store. The FCC document, first reported by MacRumors discovered contains information about the proprietary dock developed by Apple. It has a USB-C port and carries the serial number A2687.
Apple Watch Series 7: When will it be launched?
The module's usefulness, however, is questionable, as the 60.5 GHz radio frequency enables speeds of around 200 megabits per second—less than half the maximum of USB 2.0. Wi-Fi is capable of transmitting data at much higher speeds and over longer distances. So, the whole thing is sure to remain exciting. Anyone interested in the new Apple Watch generation will have to wait a bit longer. Although Apple has already unveiled the product, the market launch date remains unclear. Apple only states "Available later this fall." (Image: Apple)
