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 there will be "a new set of bands for the Apple Watch Pro that are quite diverse and focus on extreme sports." In other words, customers who purchase the Apple Watch Pro will have access to a new range of bands made exclusively for this model. It remains unclear exactly what these bands will look like. Apple could take a similar approach to the bands it has already developed in collaboration with Nike. Apple also sells Apple Watch bands designed for Hermès models. It's worth noting that Gurman previously stated that while old bands will be compatible with the Apple Watch Pro, they won't fit perfectly. The journalist also believes 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.
Contrary to previous rumors, however, the Apple Watch Pro's case is not flat. The rendering also revealed a third, new button on the side. According to Gurman, this new button is "programmable," allowing users to assign various actions to it, such as opening a specific app, starting a workout, or performing another action within an app. The Digital Crown also looks very different from that of current Apple Watch models. The Apple Watch Pro is expected to be made of titanium. Combined with the flat screen, this should make the device more crash-resistant.
Apple Watch Series 8 and SE 2
In addition to the Apple Watch Pro, Apple will introduce two other 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 is planning to keep the first generation Apple Watch SE as an even more affordable alternative. So, this whole thing should be pretty exciting.
