What They Say
Bloomberg’s subscriber only Power On newsletter has forecast that the next Apple Watch (Series 7) range will have slightly larger and flatter displays. The new design will be a major part of the upgrade. There will be 41mm and 45 mm versions (up from 40mm and 44mm) and there will be new watch faces to go with the new displays. There are also reports that a smaller processor will allow a slightly larger battery.
There’s a round up of other rumours about the Series 7 here.
