Here at Superwatches, we’re always looking to the future.
One watch we’ve set our signs on is the Apple Watch 8, the next installment in the famous Apple Watch series. Leaked information comes and goes, but now and then, we find out exciting facts about upcoming smartwatches that blow our minds.
New renders of the potential Apple Watch 8 have surfaced, thanks to reliable poster ShrimpApplePro on Twitter. Instead of Apple’s typical watch design, the next addition to this range looks pretty different.
Are you ready to meet the next generation of watches? Or are you still stunned by the Apple Watch 7? Keep reading to find out the new design.
You can always check out the existing models in our comprehensive Apple Watch comparison.
The Potential Apple Watch 8 Design
It’s essential to take any unconfirmed smartwatch news with a pinch of salt. Of course, many leaks do turn out to be true – but some don’t. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them, though!
The Apple Watch 8 will break the chain of rounded display designs. For the next model, “there is a flat front display.”
That’s right! We’re moving towards flatter Apple Watches, much like the designs of their current iPhones. This development does make aesthetic sense, especially as Apple likes to provide cohesive design amongst their products.
The source also stated that the new watch might be “ready for mass production soon, and it will probably be the same time as the front glass of iPhone 14s”. If this is true, then we’re in for a big treat.
Will There Be Two Apple Watch 8s?
Many smartwatch aficionados expect the tech giant two release two Apple Watch 8 models. One standard smartwatch and a “rugged” version are designed for athletes and those who require a sports-optimized model.
These rumors started after news of blood-pressure tools, improved health features, and updated sensors appeared. Perhaps the brand will be offering one watch for casual use and another for getting fit and healthy. Only time will tell!
Additional Updates For The Next Watch
Again, there’s no confirmed date for the Apple Watch 8, but we already have suspicions about the next release. The best way to predict upcoming features is to examine the current model and explore what users are asking for.
The most common ask is for improved battery life when it comes to improvements. Apple is known for having a shorter life than competitors, and we’d love to see this watch live for longer. However, the team increased charging times for the Apple Watch 7 – saving the wait between charges.
From better heart sensors to temperature-based fertility planning, the next generation of the Apple Watch will likely have a health focus. Find out other predictions here.
The Bottom Line
Whether you’re an Apple Watch fan or not, the 8th generation of this model is an exciting prospect. What do you think will be included in this wearable? Let us know in the comments!
