When Apple Watch 7 was released last year,
I did a video where I
mentioned that in the months leading up
to the release of Apple Watch 7,
Apple sources
suggested that Apple
Watch 7 would
get a major design update.
Kuo mentioned in September 2020 that the Apple
Watch would get a major design
update as early as 2021.
Then
in May 2021
Jon Prosser threw out a rendering of the Apple Watch
In the rendering,
we can see that the edges of the watch
are completely flat,
much like the design of the iPhone and iPad Pro.
A month later,
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also reported that the Apple Watch
would have a flat edge.
Mark Gurman has a very high standing in the Apple news community.
So at this point, people watching the Apple Watch think
it's a done deal that the
watch will have a flat edge.
But at last September's Apple event,
we saw a more rounded Apple Watch,
which hit everyone in the face.
softer more rounded corner
I'm Ron. Welcome back.
It's been more than five months since
the Apple Watch 7 was released,
and just when we thought
rumors of last year's
popular flat-edged design were fading away,
there's more to come
Today we're going to take a look at these new rumors.
First
in January
Mark Gurman sat down with Macrumours to talk about last year's Apple Watch's flat-edged design
Mark Gurman first said that the renderings that
had been circulating on the Internet were fake.
He had never seen a similar
rendering from an insider.
definitely those renders that
were put out last year were fake
but at the same time he thinks it's possible to have a
flat design.
However
this design will not be used in the main Apple Watch 8 series
but in a new series
I think it's still possible
We get that square edge design
on the sides of the device next year
That said
there's still a chance we'll see flat-edged designs this year
What will the new series be?
Don't worry
We'll talk about this after we've talked about all the rumors
Jon
Prosser also appeared on Macrumours in February.
Here we hear more details about
the flat edge design.
As I mentioned in the previous video,
one of the biggest speculations about the
flat edge design is that
Apple is looking for an inside job.
That is to say, Apple intentionally released
different information about the design
of the Apple Watch to the outside world,
and which version finally spread to the outside world,
then Apple knows who spread the news.
I thought it was unlikely before,
because more than one person gave the news
of the flat edge design,
unless it happened.
Mark
Gurman and Jon
Prosser are the
same person inside Apple,
and Jon Prosser clarified in this
interview
The Apple insider who gave him the
information is still working hard at Apple.
All those people who worked
with me on that leak
still worked there
Jon also showed us on the show what the
insider had told him.
There is a photo of a starry
flat-edged watch frame
Jon received this photo before the appleh7 was released
and the watch didn't have a starry color at the time
Starlight is the new color scheme for Apple Watch 7
This also confirms the authenticity of this photo from the side
while the other photo is more informative
In another photo he released,
we can see a small dial with a curved design and a
large dial with a flat edge design.
At that time, when you saw this photo,
you took it for granted
that the small dial was Apple Watch SE,
while the flat edge design of
the large dial was Apple Watch 7.
So he released
the news with confidence.
In retrospect,
he said, the small,
curved dial was Apple Watch 7,
and the large, flat-edged dial
would be Apple's next collection
This speculation also coincides with
the revelation I shared about Apple Watch 8.
Screen analyst Ross Young is
also a highly credible tipster.
He thinks Apple Watch 8 will come in three sizes.
Apple will add a
larger size than the 41mm and 45mm,
and this larger size is
likely to be the Apple Watch with the
larger face and
flat edge design seen by Jon Prosser in the photo.
So what will the new
appleh series be like?
In a previous video about the Apple Watch 8 news,
I mentioned that Apple is working on a
version of the Apple Watch with a solid case.
The target audience will be athletes,
hikers
and consumers who need to
wear the Apple Watch in extreme environments.
It has the same features as the regular
Apple Watch,
but with better impact resistance and protection
So the flat edge
design is designed for the rugged version of the approach.
Because both the iPhone and iPad
are stronger with flat sides.
And this is rugged
and MaxTech takes this speculation one step further
They felt that the rugged version
might even be the PRO version,
meaning that it was not only more rugged,
but also more functional.
Apple Watch series eight
PRO model
of course the price will be higher
Just like the iPhone Pro
and the iPad Pro
MaxTech feels that
the apple's flat-sided design has
more room for
a bigger battery and more health sensors.
The battery life of the Apple watch has
long been a problem,
and if it can be improved in this generation,
it will certainly boost sales.
In addition, I've previously concluded
that Apple is working on new
health features such as blood
sugar and blood pressure monitoring,
and that these sensors need more space to fit into the large flat
design of the Apple Watch.
Of course, these more health features also
mean that Apple can tag
them as a new product line and sell them
at a higher price.
It's not exactly the same idea as the iPhone pro
but it's indistinguishable
Personally, I find MaxTech's speculations
on the iPod pro series to
be quite convincing.
It's just that a lot of people
worry that the flat edge design will lead to uncomfortable wearing,
so I don't know how Apple will
solve the problem of wearing comfort.
Either way,
it makes me even more interested in this year's
release of apple18
Those are some of the most interesting things about the Apple
Watch these days,
and if you haven't seen

I will also update the
experience sharing of Apple Watch 7 soon,
and I hope it can help you. Decide
whether to buy Apple Watch 7 now
or wait for the new Apple Watch
or Apple Watch Pro this year
