Applemay redesign theApple Watch 7in one key area: its edges. While the Series 6 and earlier models have rounded corners, mockup renders from Apple leaker Jon Prossersuggestthe new Apple Watch will have flat edges.
We’ve heard plenty ofApple Watchrumors about the new features of the Series 7, includingblood glucose monitoring, breath-based gesturecontrols, and aredesigned ECGfor more accurate heart rate monitoring. But this is the first potential glimpse of how it could look.
We originally heard that the Apple Watch 7 would getthinnerby combining the battery with the haptic engine. However, the flat edges give the new Apple Watch a thicker appearance than past watches. We imagine that some people will prefer the smaller profile of older watches, while others will find the change refreshing.
These Apple Watch 7 renders, according to Prosser and created in collaboration with@RendersbyIan, were created based on leaked photos of the forthcoming smartwatch, so we can’t guarantee that these renders will be true to the final version.
Prosser says that the Series 7 will come in five colors: black, silver, red, blue and green. Many of these colors return from theApple Watch 6, but green is a new addition, while other colors like gold may have been dropped.
This leak didn’t come with a spec sheet, so we don’t know how large the Series 7 will be, nor any other information on battery life, features, or sensors. We do expect it to run the newwatchOS 8, of course.
We could learn more about the Apple Watch 7 atWWDC 2021, which takes place on June 7 but that’s unlikely and we’ll probably be waiting until later this year alongside theiPhone 13.
