A new rumor has suggested that the upcoming Apple Watch Series 7 will arrive in larger sizes than its predecessors. Reportedly, the latest smartwatch generation from the company will launch in sizes 41mm and 45mm case sizes.
For those unaware, the new Apple Watch Series 7 that will launch in sizes that replace the current 40mm and 44mm options that have been offered since the Watch Series 4. The leak was shared by known Weibo tipster UnclePan (Via MacRumors). Before the Watch Series 4, the Cupertino based giant’s popular wearable device had been offered in 38mm and 42mm case sizes before the design being shifted towards the larger sizes. Now, it seems that the brand will be making another change in sizes with the latest models.
Despite the slight rise in size, the iPhone maker has retained the iconic design of its Watches while also retaining compatibility of the bands used in older iterations of the product. In other words, the newer models would support the bands from previously launched variants of the smartwatch. The leaker further added that the Apple Watch Series 7 will also allow bands designed for 40mm and 44mm to work with its newer 41mm and 45mm sizes.
Although, the rise in size of the new Watches doesn’t arrive as a surprise considering the company is working on narrowing the bezels of the smartwatch’s display with a flat edge design. This would allow for a greater surface area of the screen. Another leaker Jon Prosser shared renders earlier this year that showcased the device with a flat edge design with a larger display. The Watch Series 7 is expected to be launched along with the iPhone 13 series later this year.
