The rumored “Pro” version of the Apple Watch Series 8 be able to have a completely new design, without deviating too far from the existing form.
The next generation of Apple Apple Watch releases is rumored with an Apple Watch Pro, a robust model intended for sports and activities. It is now believed that the model will not only be a larger variant of the wearable device, but also significantly refresh its appearance.
The new high-end model will be a lot bigger than usual, sources tell Mark Gurman in his “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg. It may end up being “big enough that it only appeals to a subset of customers”.
Gurman repeats an earlier rumor that the screen will be 7% bigger than the current one Apple Watch Series 7 models, and that it will also have a “fresh look”. this will apparently be “the first time the company has introduced a new Apple Watch design since 2018.”
That design will reportedly be “an evolution of the current rectangular shape, not circular”. The design will also avoid “rumored flats,” and it will “use a more durable titanium formulation to make it extra rugged.”
Previous rumors indicate that the model may cost consumers around $900, as well as extended battery life and a body temperature sensor.
