Apple Watch Series 7 might have new watchfaces to reap the benefits of greater screens

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman shared more details Thursday about what to anticipate from the rumored greater screens coming to the subsequent Apple Watch.

Gurman has previously reported that the subsequent watch, which he says will probably be known as the Apple Watch Series 7, will probably be provided in 41mm and 45mm display screen sizes. In his new article, he reiterated these sizes and added that the bigger mannequin’s display screen will measure 1.9 inches diagonally, up from 1.78 inches on the larger Series 6, and supply about 16 p.c extra pixels with a decision of 396 x 484, up from 368 x 448. Both Series 7 watches will even have thinner borders round their screens, Gurman says.

Apple can also be engaged on new watchfaces. One, known as Modular Max, will apparently present the time, one small complication, after which have bigger issues that “span the length of the screen stacked on top of each other below,” Gurman says. Another, which Gurman says goes by the identify of Atlas and World Timer internally at Apple, “will let a user see all 24 time zones simultaneously.” One, known as Continuum, will “change based on the flow of time and the current hour.” Apple can also be engaged on new watchfaces for its Apple Watches made in partnership with Hermes and Nike. Some of those might ship with the Series 7, in response to Gurman.

As Gurman has mentioned beforehand, he reiterated that the Series 7 can have a sooner processor and a brand new case with flatter edges. However, manufacturing points reported Tuesday might imply the Series 7 is delayed or in brief provide when it’s accessible.

Apple plans to announce the brand new watches “as soon as this month,” Gurman says. That timeline would line up with earlier years.
