A report claims that the Apple Watch Pro, reportedly a part of the Apple Watch Series 8, will feature a flat display with a 47mm case. This will be the largest size for an Apple Watch. The current lineup in the Apple Watch Series 7 comes in 41mm and 45mm options. Meanwhile, a related report claims that the rugged Apple Watch Pro may have a satellite feature to enable calls and messages without a 4G or 5G cellular connection. The development comes as Apple is gearing up to organize a ‘Far Out’ event on September 7.
Japanese publication Mac Otakara, citing a reliable source in China Claimed That Apple will launch an Apple Watch variant with an “all-new design” (translated) that will use a flat display in a metal housing and measure 47mm in size. This variant is called the Apple Watch Pro of the Apple Watch Series 8, which was previously reported to get the first major redesign for the Apple Watch since 2018.
The rumored rugged Apple Watch Pro is expected to come with a durable formulation of titanium for strength and is said to be 7 percent bigger than the Watch Series. The dial redesign was also claimed to be an “evolution of the current rectangular shape” and not a circular one. according to a Tweet By Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the display size of the display could be 1.99-inches.
in a related report goodBloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has claimed that the new generation of the unannounced rugged Apple Watch Pro may have satellite features. These are the same features that Gurman had previously tipped to arrive on the upcoming Apple Watch model. These features are said to allow wearers to make calls and send messages without a 4G or 5G cellular connection.
These features first surfaced last year when analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the iPhone 13 would use LEO satellite communication to enable voice calls and messages without cellular coverage.
