Apple plans extreme sports Watch with larger screen, metal case
Apple Inc. Planning the appearance of its biggest smart watch to date, a larger battery and rough metal casing as part of the upcoming Apple Watch aimed at extreme sports athletes, according to people with knowledge about the plan.
The rough version of Apple Watch will get a screen measuring almost 2 inches diagonally, while the new Apple Watch Series 8 will maintain a 1.9 -inch diagonal screen size from the current Apple Watch series will maintain the current screen size.A bigger display on the Sports Extreme model, which is planned to be announced later this year with two other models, will have a screen area of about 7% more than the biggest Apple Watch. The screen will have a resolution of around 410 pixels with 502 pixels and maintain the same overall sharpness as the existing model.
Apple can use a larger screen area to show more fitness metrics or information about the face of watching at once. The company added a number of new fitness features at Watchos 9, including multisport exercises and better intensity tracking during the exercise routine.First released in 2015, Apple Watch has become an important part of Apple’s hardware lineup. The watch model is included in the division that can be charged, home and accessories, which produce $ 38.4 billion – or 10% of the company’s total revenue – in the last fiscal year. But smart watches and goods that can be worn are crowded markets and Apple competes with products from people like Google Fitbit and Samsung Electronics Co.
Watch of extreme sports will use strong metal than aluminum, has a screen that is more resistant and includes a larger battery compared to the standard apple supervisor-leaving athletes tracking training for a longer period of time, said the people, who asked not to not doing so identified because the detailed watch has not been announced.Like the standard 8 series, stronger watches will have the ability to take the user’s body temperature to detect fever. This will also increase tracking metrics such as height during hiking exercises and data when swimming.
All new Apple Watches will use a S8 processor with a performance similar to the S7 chip on the Apple Watch Series 7, which is equivalent to the S6 on the Apple Watch Series 6 from two years ago. This will mark the first time the company maintains the same general performance on Apple Watch for three consecutive generations.An Apple spokesman refused to comment on the company’s plan. Apple usually announces a new watch model in September with a new iPhone. Cupertino -based company, California plans four new iPhone 14 models for autumn, including a new pro version with faster chips and 48 megapixel rear cameras.
Increasing the appearance of the display for the rough model will be the third in the history of Apple Watch. The company expanded the device screen in 2018 with a series 4 and again last year with a series 7. The screen of almost 2 inches on a rough model will make the screen one of the biggest offers of the main smart watch maker.
Bloomberg News first reported early last year that Apple plans to expand the Apple Watch lineup with a rough version to compete better with offers from Garmin and others directed at extreme sports. The upper -class watch is likely to be more expensive than the standard Stainless Steel Apple Watch, which today starts from $ 699.
