In two months, Apple will unveil three new Apple Watches, including the
rumored Apple Watch Pro. This new high-end model, also called rugged, and
made for extreme sports, will be the companys new bet for a specific
niche of customers.
In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloombergs Mark Gurman details more
information about this upcoming product.
9to5Mac already reported that this Apple Watch Pro would have a larger
display, longer battery life, and a new body-temperature sensor. Gurman
believes this Watch could stay on for multiple days in just one charger
thanks to the rumored low-power mode which Apple still hasnt discussed.
Whats interesting here is that Bloombergs journalist says Apple will
introduce an evolution of the current rectangular shape, and not circular,
meaning this Apple Watch Pro will have its first fresh look ever since 2018,
but it wont have the rumored flat sides that some predicted for Apple Watch
Series 7.
Im told that the high-end model is going to be a good bit bigger than the
standard Apple Watchbig enough that it might only appeal to a subset of
customers.
The screen will be about 7% larger, and the device will have a fresh
lookthe first time the company has introduced a new Apple Watch design
since 2018.
It will be an evolution of the current rectangular shape, and not circular.
It also wont have those rumored flat sides (for those who will undoubtedly
ask). In terms of materials, the watch will have a more durable formulation
of titanium to make it extra rugged.
As already written by 9to5Mac, watchOS 9 is for sure teasing this Apple
Watch Pro for extreme sports.
With a revamped Workout app, this operating system brings more data than
ever at a glance while also giving a fresh look to older Watch Faces that
werent updated to take advantage of larger displays.
Blood pressure and glucose measurements are still delayed for the Apple
Watch
While the body-temperature sensor will likely be available with the Apple
Watch Series 8 and the Apple Watch Pro, Mark Gurman says nothing changed in
regard to other sensors.
He reports that the blood-pressure technology probably wont arrive until
2025 and the glucose feature may not be ready until nearer to the end of
the decade.
With that, Apple will probably struggle to introduce new features as its
been two years since the addition of a new sensor, and the company is
rumored to use the same Apple Watch Series 6 chip on the new Apple Watch
Series 8.
