Apple Watch Series 7 could have a new design, faster chip

Display-related changes

Apple has released a new Apple Watch around the same time every year since the device was first introduced in 2015. The rumored upcoming wearable — likely the Apple Watch Series 7 — will get a faster processor, better wireless connectivity, and an updated screen.

According to a Bloomberg report, Apple will primarily make some display-related changes on the Apple Watch Series 7. The company tests a “new lamination technique” that raises the watch’s display closer to the top cover.

Other changes are mostly going to be internal and include a faster processor and U1 Ultra-Wideband connectivity. Ultra-wideband is used for precise positioning, which can help you track down AirTags, for example.

The U1 chip should allow Series 7 to act as a digital car key and better Find My integration. The company has also been testing a body temperature sensor, but that is reportedly more likely to land in the 2022 model.

Apple was also working on an “explorer” or “adventure” version of the watch for this year, but it has now pushed its launch back to 2022.

The bigger rumored upgrades include a glucometer, a rugged model, and a body temperature sensor, all apparently not arriving until the Series 8 or later. Beyond the watchOS 8 features Apple has shared, we’re not yet sure about the changes Apple’s new hardware will bring.
