Apple has officially unveiled the Watch Series 7, its latest and most powerful smartwatch yet. With slimmer bezels, the Apple Watch Series 7 comes with a bigger display, and Apple claims that an additional 50 percent more text can be crammed into its display compared to the Apple Watch Series 6.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is priced at $399 and offers a more interactive display with a full keyboard that has swiping functionality. The Watch Series 7 also comes with several new watch faces attuned to the much larger display available in the device. The Watch Series 7 however still retains the ruggedness that has been an integral part of Apple’s design philosophy. It has IP6X water and dust resistance rating, and comes in two sizes – 41mm and 45mm. These are some improvements from the previous Apple watches in terms of their size.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is said to come with similar sensors and processors as its predecessor, the Watch Series 6 but it will runs on the latest watchOS 8 interface with lots of amazing features and improved algorithm. The battery is also a monster lot – offering up to 18 hours of normal use on a full charge. The smartwatch is charged via USB-C which offers greater charging speeds up to 33% better than a USB-A charging port. Interestingly, Apple says that 8 minutes of charging of the device offers 8 hours of battery life.

More features are also included in the new models including a new Outdoor Cycling functionality that supports a more responsive outdoor cycling regime. Fall Support is also available to take care of emergencies for enhanced safety.

The Watch Series 7 starts at $399 and will be available this Fall. Five color variants will be available for the Apple Watch Series 7 – black, blue, gold, red and dark green.

Apple is all set to host an event tomorrow which will be virtual and is expected to be a center stage for the iPhone 13, Watch Series 7, and 3rd-gen AirPods. From what rumors have suggested so far, Apple may have plans for an additional event to unveil the new Mac and iPad models. MacRumors believe that Apple’s Annual Back to School promotion end date could decide when the next event might take place.

Last year, Apple decided to extend its Back to School promotion till October 12, and we witnessed an event on October 13, just a day after the promotion ended. As for this year, the Back to School promotion is ending on September 27 in the U.S. but going by the theory, having two events in September is less likely. However, the promotion is ending on October 11 in Europe, which makes more sense, and it is highly likely that we could witness an event on October 12.

Feasibility and planning this event, all lie with Apple, but it definitely is possible. Again, this is just a theory, and we have no other option but to wait for an official word to come from Apple.

In all likelihood, there will be an additional event this fall that will be dedicated to the upcoming Macs and iPads. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests that there are going to be only two events this fall. Whatever the case, we will find it out soon.
