Apple Watch Series 7: Larger Display & Rugged Design

Apple Unveils the Apple Watch Series 7 with a Larger Display

A significant update has been revealed by Apple for its wearable technology. Alongside the introduction of new iPad models, the company has officially launched the newest iteration of the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch Series 7 represents one of the most substantial design evolutions in the smartwatch’s six-year history, as was widely predicted.

Enhanced Display and Durability

The new Watch features a redesigned display that is 20% larger than that of the Series 6, yet its overall size remains nearly unchanged. This improvement is achieved through the implementation of significantly reduced bezel dimensions.

The corners of the display are now rounded, and brightness has been notably increased compared to the previous generation. The screen can accommodate 50% more text than earlier models. A novel text input feature, leveraging artificial intelligence for predictive text, has also been incorporated.

Furthermore, the front glass has been reinforced for greater resilience, and the Watch now boasts an IP6X rating for dust resistance.

Charging and Battery Performance

Despite contrary speculation, the battery capacity itself has not been increased in this release. However, charging speeds have been improved by approximately 33%, allowing for quicker power replenishment, particularly useful before utilizing sleep tracking features.

Pricing and Availability

The Apple Watch Series 7 will become available later this fall, with a starting price of $399. Customers can choose from five distinct case colors. The Series 3 will remain available at $279, and the Apple Watch SE will also continue to be offered at $279.

The new watch will be pre-loaded with WatchOS 8, which introduces features such as enhanced bike tracking capabilities.
