Last year, it was reported that the Apple Watch Series 7 could receive some sort of redesign. Now, a new rumor suggests that Cupertino could design the next smartwatch with a flat-edged design.
The new rumor comes from leaker Jon Prosser, who cryptically revealed the information in an episode of his Genius Bar podcasts with Sam Kohl. Prosser apparently has more information and perhaps renderings of the redesign to reveal soon. But for now, he teased that the Apple Watch Series 7 will have a redesign similar to other Apple hardware updates. This apparently means the Apple Watch Series 7 will feature a flat, angular design, similar to the iPhone 12, iPad Pro, and iPad Air. Kohl and Prosser describe the Apple Watch version of this design as "more subtle" than what we've seen on other products.
Apple Watch Series 7: Speculations are not new
The Genius Bar podcast also hinted that the Apple Watch Series 7 could debut in a new green color option, similar to the green Apple uses for the AirPods Max. Prosser's statement actually aligns with a report published in September 2020. Back then, renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that a "significant change in form factor design would not come until new Apple Watch models in 2021 at the earliest." Prosser also vaguely hinted at some sort of new magnetic AirTag accessory in the podcast episode, but no further details were provided. So, things are sure to remain exciting.
