Appleis making a new version of theApple Watch Series 8, and it almost certainly doesn’t look like the one in our picture (above). That’s according to well-connected industry analystMark Gurman, whose latest Power On newsletter spills the tea on Apple’s plans for itsbest smartwatch. While the Series 8 Pro version will indeed get a significant redesign, it won’t have the flat sides we’ve seen in many leak-based renders.
Gurman says that “The high-end model is going to be a good bit bigger than the standardApple Watch– big enough that it might only appeal to a subset of customers.” The screen will be 7% larger than theApple Watch Series 7, and while it’s getting “a fresh look – the first time the company has introduced a newApple Watchdesign since 2018” – it won’t be circular and it won’t have flat sides. It’ll be made of titanium and designed to be rugged.
Talking ‘bout an evolution
That larger size means there’s more room for a battery, so expect significantly longer battery life. Gurman says there will also be a body temperature sensor, but a blood pressure sensor is still some way off. Gurman predicts 2025 for that, and he suggests that the rumoured glucose sensor will take even longer: don’t hold your breath, because the sensor may not arrive until near the end of the decade.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to launch in September 2022 with prices similar to the current range. We don’t know how much the Pro will cost but like all of Apple’s other Pro devices, the price difference is likely to be three figures.
