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.

Hounsou elaborated: "I've gone to studios for meetings and they're like: 'Wow, we felt like you just got off the boat and then went back [post- Amistad , his breakout movie with Steven Spielberg]. We didn't know you were here as a true actor.' "When you hear things like that, you can see that some people's vision of you, or what you repre...

Kenyan Innovators Turn E-waste To Bio-robotic Prosthetic

David Gathu, left, and Moses Kiuna are self-taught Kenyan innovators who have built a bio-robotic prosthetic arm out of electronic scrap AF Two  portraits of Albert Einstein hang on the walls of a makeshift laboratory on Nairobi's outskirts, inspiring a pair of self-taught Kenyan innovators who have built a bio-robotic prosthetic arm out of electronic scrap But their latest invention is a significant upgrade, according to the duo. The device uses a headset receiver to pick up brain signals and convert them to an electric current, which is then sent to a transmitter that wirelessly relays commands to the arm, prompting it into action. We saw people living with disabilities go through a lot of struggles and desired to make them... (feel) far more abled," Gathu told AFP. Kiuna said their first prosthetic arm, custom-made for the neighbour, had "helped him operate around the house on his own". The high cost of prosthetics means only one out of 10 people in need are able ...
