the apple watch series 8 lineup is coming very soon likely within the next
two months and i think that is going to be a game changer and awesome upgrade
with a brand new design especially if we get the new series 8 pro model which i
think is what the rugged rumors are leading to and i'm gonna explain why i
think that in this video alongside all my other leaks and rumors that i'm gonna
discuss in this video including the display size but before i get into those
new series 8 lineup leaks i want to discuss the current apple watch lineup
so let's get started now currently we have the brand new series 7 which has
the larger display compared to the old series 6 with the new more rounded edges
and corners and that's definitely a really nice display but it does start at
400 just like it did before we have the apple watts se which has the same kind
of design and chip as the old series five except that it does not have the
always on display that's exclusive to the high-end series seven model and then
we have the series three which i think should not even exist at this point it
has the old chip the old design look at that the square display it does not look
good it's outdated it's only two hundred dollars but i do not think that's a good
buy because you pay a little bit more you get the se that's a much better buy
and the crazy thing is that apple's new watch os software
it's going to be coming out this fall and apparently it's not even going to
support the series 3 which basically means that apple is going to be
discontinuing this series 3 model and they're going to
be introducing a new model into the lineup which mark german is saying is
the rugged edition but before i get into explaining those leaks and rumors let's
start off with some of the other ones now first of all over the past six
months i made a couple of videos talking about the series a pro including this
one talking about the truth revealed and this basically talked about how john
prosser thought that the series seven was going to be getting the new flat
sides with the whole redesign potentially a flat display but in this
video he mentioned that maybe he had his leaks a little bit early so maybe all
those flat design rumors are actually going to be coming
true with the series 8 model which i believe is to be the case but with that
said let's jump into these rumors back on july 3rd we had some rumors where the
apple watch series 8 might be able to tell if you have a fever so there was a
chance that they could use these new health tracking sensors potentially the
temperature tracking sensor to see if you have a fever and basically give you
a warning let you know to get some water get some rest which would be a really
really cool feature and then just the other day mark german came out with an
awesome report saying that apple's gonna have a rugged extreme sports watch
coming later this year with a larger nearly two inch screen yes that's pretty
large and i'll explain what they mean by that
non-aluminum metal case it's going to be more shatter resistant in terms of the
screen and i'm going to explain why that makes sense a larger battery of course
because it's going to have a larger display body temperature sensor
improvements to hiking and swim tracking and more and getting into the actual
display details we had a report from ross young and jeff poo saying that the
new display is going to be around 5 larger now specifically it's 1.99
inches which sounds massive but apparently the way that they're
measuring it is diagonal so that's how the panel suppliers measure it so it's
not actually going to be the size of the display itself which some people thought
it could be up to 50 millimeters but that is not true apparently according to
the way that apple measures and markets their display sizes joe resignal thinks
it might be around 46 or 47 millimeters in size and shrimp apple pro actually
thinks it could be 47 millimeters for just the display alone so that would
mean that you would have sizes of 43 millimeters and 47 millimeters for the
small size and the large size and i personally think it actually makes sense
to have a 46 millimeter i don't know if that's possible with this big 1.99
inch display size maybe it's gonna be larger but i think it'll flow smoothly
because i'm personally expecting the apple watch se2 to have the same display
size that's 40 millimeter and 44 for 279 dollars than the regular series
8 model which is 41 and 45 which is matching the series 7 right now and the
price is going to stay the same 399 for the aluminum model of course more if you
get the different finishes and i think for the series 8 pro or the new rugged
edition model 42 and 46 so it's kind of like incrementally stepping up higher
and higher i think that'll make sense but for eight hundred dollars with a
titanium chassis as the standard option or of course some kind of other alloy or
metal because shrimp apple pro is actually saying that the new metal is
gonna be different from aluminum and it could be some kind of liquid metal with
an alloy mixture i'm not sure what exactly that means but i think titanium
would be a good choice because it is more rugged while also being lightweight
but now i want to explain why this is going to be a big deal and this new
apple watch series 8 pro model is going to be very enticing first of all i think
that john prosser and ian's elbow were correct about their rumored new design
with the flat sides and i think it could end up looking something like this maybe
it's not going to be that large of a flat side but generally something like
this and this is important because as you can see the display is completely
flat now mark german was saying that it's going to be a lot more rugged and
the screen will be more shatter resistant well if you look at these
renders the actual display can be completely flat now when you do this it
allows you to make the bezels thinner a lot more easier like for example with
the iphone 12 just by going to the flat design apple was able to make the bezels
a lot thinner than they were with the iphone 11 because that rounded glass and
everything made it difficult to put in a larger display underneath it so having a
completely flat panel will make it easier to enlarge the display and thin
down those bezels even more which will allow the actual chassis to not get that
massive when you're increasing the actual display size but not only that
the actual metal lip is going to be protruding out of the apple watch with
the display kind of tucked in which is gonna make it a lot more durable because
if you accidentally smack something you're smacking the outside metal shell
and frame instead of smacking the glass like you have on the current apple watch
designs making it a lot more easy to shatter so that would solve that issue
and now about six months ago when i made this video about the series 8 pro leaks
i made a few predictions first of all i had the 800 starting price coming with a
titanium chassis standard i have the prediction of much better battery life
because if you're switching from rounded glass and display underneath it to a
flat design you could actually move the whole display panel with glass higher
making more internal space for everything else including a larger
battery so much better battery life of course since you're also making the
chassis a little bit larger as well and max safe support new high-end sensors
which we could get with the temperature sensor and of course the larger display
which i thought would be 46 millimeters but i want to talk about the max 8
because mark german has been talking about the future ipad pro coming with
wireless mac save support and he even mentioned that we could be seeing apple
watch max safe charging support coming in the future and i think if we do get a
larger series 8 pro with a flat design i think it will support max save charging
and that'll be a huge feature for a lot of people because i feel like apple is
going full force into wireless max aid because
they've added it to the airpods they're going to be adding it to the ipad pro as
far as the rumors are concerned and we even got some patents of apple working
on adding wireless mac save chargers built into the center console of the
apple car in the future so i think apple is going full force into mac safe and i
believe it's going to be coming to the apple watch as well specifically for
this larger model so with that said because of these leaks even if you don't
go for the series 8 pro model or just the regular series 8 i think it's a good
idea to hold off for another two months before buying one of the current apple
watches because i believe the series se model is going to be replaced with the
se2 i believe the series three is going to get completely discontinued do not
buy that one and of course the series 8 is going to get some incremental updates
compared to the regular series 7 model so if you disagree with me on anything
in this video let me know in the comment section below but if you agree click the
circle but to subscribe and definitely check out those two older videos i made
right there thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
