Here are all the rumours and news so far, surrounding future Apple Watches.
MAKE GARMIN WATCH FACES SERIES
Apple Watch Series 8 rumours: What's happened so far? Other possibilities could include things like smart straps, third party support for watch faces, a camera and Face ID or an under display fingerprint sensor, though we suspect the latter are wishful thinking rather than plausible additions, mainly due to lack of space for the sensors. Perhaps some extra hardware on the Series 8 could put it up there with the Fitbit's and Garmin's. Apple revealed sleep tracking as part of watchOS 7, meaning it is available on older Apple Watches too, but it isn't as detailed as some other devices on the market. We'd also like to see battery improvements to match other smartwatches in the market, like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and we'd also like to see more advanced sleep tracking on the Series 8, as well as roaming capabilities. We'd love to see something like Garmin's Body Battery arrive on the Apple Watch too, but we don't think it will happen for the Series 8. Garmin also do a great job of enabling users to share their runs or activity so we wouldn't be surprised to see Apple take a leaf out of this book. We'd expect more health and fitness features, perhaps taking on the likes of Garmin with more running functions, for example. Focus on fitness - more advanced features.

What we want and expect to see on the next Apple Watch The Apple Watch has had the same form factor since it was first introduced, but the flat edges would allow it to retain this, whilst also offering a refresh. It could be therefore, that the Series 8 offers some bigger design changes - like the flat edges rumoured for the Series 7 that never appeared, and perhaps a third size option as rumours have suggested.įlat edges would put the Apple Watch in line with other Apple devices, like the iPhone 13 series, new iMac and the more expensive iPads. The Series 7 increased the screen size again, and the casing options changed from 40mm and 44mm to 41mm and 45mm, though the general design didn't change. The general style and shape remain the same as the original Watch, but they offer a lot more screen in similar footprints. The Apple Watch Series 4 made some big design changes in terms of display and the Series 5, Series 6 and Watch SE adopt the same design. We'd expect the same ballpark for the Series 8. In terms of price, the Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $399/£379. It will be a while before we know too, with invites unlikely to appear before early September 2022. While 2020 didn't quite follow the 'normal' path, the Apple Watch Series 6 and Watch SE were revealed ahead of the iPhone 12 series on 15 September 2020 so September is typically the month for the diary.īased on previous years, we'd pencil in 13 September 2022, but we'd put that in very light pencil for now.

We saw the Watch SE launch in 2020, but there was no follow up in 2021, so it could be we see a successor to the mid-range smartwatch too.

It is therefore highly likely we can expect 2022's watch to be called the Apple Watch Series 8, succeeding 2021's Apple Watch Series 7. Since the original was followed by the Apple Watch Series 1, the company has used sequential numbers every year. Unlike the iPhone, Apple didn't mess around with the Watch naming structure.

(Pocket-lint) - Apple's next smartwatch won't appear until later in 2022, likely alongside the iPhone 14 range, but that doesn't mean we can't speculate about what we'd like to see appear.
