Apple Watch Series 7 Different Design & Unexpected Details

It looks like it’s just a couple of weeks until the next Apple launch event when the latest Apple Watch will be unveiled, alongside a new crop of iPhones and AirPods 3. And as the rumors continue to appear, today comes one from a respected Apple leaker.

In his Power On newsletter, the leaker says he believes that the next Apple Watch, doubtless to be called Series 7, will feature a new design and a different-sized display.

That ties in with what other reports have said, and the leaker agrees that what’s coming is a design that leans on the flatter edges found on the iPhone 12 and iPad Pro, marking the biggest change to the Apple Watch design yet.

Just as the flatter edges of the iPhone allowed for a bigger display size in the same size device, so an extra bit of display size will come with the new design.

The new Apple Watch models will come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, instead of the current 40mm and 44mm versions. Sure, 1mm doesn’t sound much, but on a device this small, you’ll notice it.

Also, that’s the case height which is referred to in that size, so if the bezels around the display are thinner, as is highly likely, the screen size increase will be more than 1mm, and more noticeable still.

The new details not heard before until the leaker’s comments concern faces for the Apple Watch. This year, he claims, new faces will be revealed that are designed to make the most of the larger screen real estate.

Specifically, he says there’ll be an updated version of the Infograph Modular face. For me, this almost very good news. My favorite Watch face by far is Infograph, and the Modular version comes close, but it’s digital and I’m all-in on analog.

Never mind, I’ll keep an open mind.

The other detail is something that’s not happening: The leaker thinks there won’t be new health features coming this year. Well, he may be right that there are no new health sensors being added, but I wouldn’t put it past Apple to wring more functionality out of the existing sensors. We already know sleep tracking is going to get better on watchOS 8, and it may be there will be other benefits on the next Apple Watch.

Not long until we know.

Kenyan senator campaigns against stigma around menstruation

The sight of a red bloodstain on Kenyan Senator Gloria Orwoba's white pantsuit was so startling that a female security guard rushed over to hide it. It was an accident, Orwoba said. Just before walking into parliament, she looked down to discover that she had been caught unprepared by her monthly period. For a moment, she considered retreat. But then she thought about how the stigma around menstruation affects Kenyan women and girls and strode into the building. To those who noticed the stain, she explained she was making a statement. It didn’t last long. Within minutes, colleagues in the senate became so uncomfortable that another female lawmaker petitioned the speaker to ask Orwoba to leave and change her clothes. Male colleagues agreed, calling the issue “taboo and private,” and Orwoba walked out. A male colleague accused her of faking her accident in parliament, to which she replied in a local media interview that “everyone would rather think it's a prank, because if i...

Zimbabwe’s size of tobacco crop increased despite increased fertilizer prices caused by the war in Ukraine.

Image credit: apnews.com The size of the tobacco crop increased despite increased fertilizer prices caused by the war in Ukraine. Zimbabwe expects to harvest 230 million kilograms (254,000 tons) of the golden leaf this season, up from 212 million kilograms (234,000 tons) last year, officials said at the official opening. The southern African country now wants to make its tobacco industry more lucrative by manufacturing more cigarettes at home and limiting foreign funding of farmers. Currently, China funds the bulk of production and buys the lion’s share of Zimbabwe’s tobacco. The war in Ukraine affected Zimbabwe’s tobacco farmers “quite badly because it happened at the time when we were planting our crop, so we did pay more for fertilizer than we should have,” said Patrick Devenish, chairman of the regulatory body, the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board. He attributed the spike in production to more growers taking up the crop, from about 123,000 farmers last season to about 150,000 this ...
