A few days ago, Apple officially started taking pre-orders for its latest Apple Watch Series 7 after announcing the new wearable devices a few weeks ago. The company had delayed the launch by a couple of weeks because of production issues.
As it turns out, the production issue is quite real and it seems that the company hasn’t fixed it yet. Those who have pre-ordered the latest Apple Watch Series 7 smartwatches are finding out that the shipment dates have been pushed back to December while some higher-priced models are marked as “currently unavailable.”
It is reported that the devices priced at $899 are listed as “currently unavailable” which are made from silver titanium with a leather band, as well as a black titanium one with a silicone band. The Apple Watch models that are part of Hermes’ partnership are showing delivery dates in the month of November and December.
Apple has been facing shipments issues with the newly launched iPhone 13 series smartphones as well, with shipments dates pushed to November for some units. It remains to be seen if the technology giant manages to sort out the production issues ahead of the holiday season that is about to begin.
Analysts are expecting the company to generate revenue of nearly $120 billion during the three months, starting from October to the end of the year. In that case, the numbers would result in a 7 percent year-over-year gain for Apple.
Internally, the Apple Watch Series 7 packs similar sensors and processors as its predecessor but runs on the latest watchOS 8 user interface with lots of amazing features and improved algorithms. The devices come in five different color options — Black, Blue, Gold, Red, and Dark Grey.
It also comes with several new watch faces, has IP6X water and dust resistance rating. The highlight is the battery, which the company claims offers up to 18 hours of normal usage when fully charged and can be charged through the USB-C port. Apple also adds that 8 minutes of charging of the device offers 8 hours of battery life.
