14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is expected to take the wraps off the next-generation Apple Watch at its typical hardware event this month when new iPhones are projected to be announced too.
And naturally, the new-generation smartwatch will come with several notable upgrades, including a new design, a larger battery, and a bigger screen.
People with knowledge of the matter said the Apple Watch Series 7 would be offered in 41mm and 45mm sizes, and in theory, this means there’s more room under the hood for other upgrades.
Many have been wondering if the device also gets a blood pressure sensor, and in the last few months, we’ve seen more and more reports suggesting such an upgrade was indeed considered by Apple. But now that we’re only a few weeks away from the moment the device is scheduled to be announced and the design has already been finalized, such a thing seems rather unlikely.
Public unveiling this month
This is according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who said there’s “no chance” to see a blood pressure sensor on the Apple Watch Series 7.
Clearly, this year’s model will be all about the new design, as Apple is giving up on the curved edges, going instead for straight sides just like on the iPhone 12. In other words, the Apple Watch Series 7 will look more like a very small iPhone 4, and for many people out there, this is a really awesome design approach, especially given how successful this smartphone ended up becoming.
The new Apple Watch, however, will probably impress with its bigger screen estate as well, especially because Apple will launch a 45mm version and, at the same time, it’ll also reduce the size of the bezels.
So overall, the new Watch is supposed to impress with its looks, therefore focusing less on upgrades for health capabilities under the hood.
