Prior to the launch of the Apple Watch 7 last year, numerous leaks suggested that the smartwatch would get a design update, with a flat screen and sides. A rumor that fell into the basket next door since the Apple Watch 7 has retained a resolutely classic and familiar look for regulars of Apple smartwatches. It would seem, however, that these hallway noises were not entirely wrong, on the other hand they did not concern the right model.
Indeed, according to the leaker ShrimpApplePro, one of the next Apple Watches (probably the Apple Watch 8) will have a flat screen. Information that is relayed by Jon Prosser, a major source of information for everything related to the Apple production catalog.
Prosser says the unofficial visuals — which he himself shared last year — were based on an internal concept from the company, his eyes seen. It therefore seems certain that Apple has developed or is developing a connected watch featuring this design. The Apple Watch 8 therefore remains a good candidate for this long-awaited flat screen.
It is therefore with this in mind that Prosser has updated its previous renderings, some of which can be seen from this article. They show the flat glass that ShrimpApplePro mentioned, as well as the previously planned flatter sides.
However, even if these renders are accurate, there’s a chance they’re not for the Apple Watch 8. We’ve also heard of a rugged Apple Watch, and Prosser adds the latter to the list of potential ambassadors for Apple Watch 8. this new design. Somehow, both Prosser and ShrimpApplePro believe that an Apple Watch adopting this type of design will be released by the firm this year.
It is essential to surprise
Is this design authentic? We’re not really sure. This is the first time we’ve heard of it (this year anyway), and an early leak reports a – more classic – curved design instead. It’s also possible that both leaks are accurate, with one revealing the Apple Watch 8 and the other the rugged Apple Watch.
A reworked design might be a smart move on Apple’s part, as the Apple Watch 7, which is almost identical to the Apple Watch 6, struggled to surprise its audience. A new proposal would make it possible to federate around this future generation, its hardware and software configuration apart.
Given the number of reports exposing a flat design last year, we’re pretty confident in the veracity of this move, at least as a major point Apple envisions. There is therefore a good chance that this watch will see the light of day in 2022.
