The iPhone 13 models were unveiled at Apple’s event this fall, so does the newest Apple Watch 7. What can we expect from the new model? Here’s everything you need to know about this new model!
- Design and Price
- Display
- Health Features
- Keyboard and Faster Charging
- Apple Watch Band Compatibility
1. Design and Price
The most noticeable change will be its design. A number of Leaked renders have revealed that the Apple Watch Series 7 will adopt the same flat-edged sides as the iPhone 12. According to the rumors, the Series 7 is 1.7 mm thinner than the Series 6, which is a great thickness decrease. This will accentuate the device’s thickness more than the current models with curved edges. With an IP6X certification, the device is more shatter- and dustproof in addition to being water resistant ups to 50 meters. And Apple Watch Series 7 will come in new colors, a new blue and (PRODUCT)RED, which look more attractive and stylish.
The price of Series is expected to be the same: $399 for the 41mm model, though Apple hasn’t officially announced the price for the 45mm size.
2. Display
Is the series 7 a new size? The upcoming model was expected to be the biggest upgrade of the display. Going from 40 and 44 mm to 41 and 45mm, Bloomberg stated. The Apple Watch looks larger with a tiny 1.7mm bezel. Actually it is enough of an improvement for Apple to create exclusive watch faces that utilize the extra screen.The secret behind the more compact Series 7, new S7 chip, featuring a double-sided design, allows for improved wireless connectivity for cellular and Wi-Fi networking, plus a new U1 Ultra Wide band chip that’s even more responsive.
3. Health Features
With watchOS 8, Cycling, Workout and Fall detection are updated. Fall detection algorithms are optimized to detecting falls during workouts(including cycling), as well as the impact of the falls from a bike and other workout types. But watchOS 8 applied to all the series now.
Apple Watch can measure calories and evaluate heart rate accurately with watchOS 8 when users start an outdoor workout. New voice feedback can also help users stay focused during workout such as running. Fitness may launch Group Workouts through SharePlay, where users can exercise with lots of people at the same time, up to 32 people. It can be seen that the sports function of Apple Watch 7 may be improved, but it will not be obvious.
4. Keyboard and Faster Charging
A QWERTY keyboard comes to Apple Watch thanks for the expended screen, which allows you to tap out messages just like on iPhone. With an updated charging architecture and fast-charging USB-C cable, Apple states it would take about 45 minutes to go from 0 to 80% charge, 33% faster than the Apple Watch series 6. But we see no real improvement of the battery life.
5. Apple Watch Band Compatibility
The Apple Watch series 7 is still compatible with all the former bands, although it’s just slightly larger. But we are excitedly expecting to the new style of Apple Watch bands, even though there are many types of Apple Watch Straps: Magnetic Mesh bands, Silicone bands etc. The (PRODUCT) RED of the series 7 and floral scrunchies band are more suitable for Women.
Being curious about the changes of features, are you going to buy Apple Watch series 7 or wait and see? If you are worried about your budget, it is a good choice to choose Apple Watch Series 6 or Apple Watch SE, because they are obviously different in design but too much in function.
