Apple continues to dominate the smartwatch market with its high-end Apple Watch series. The brand has stuck to the same design all this while with a few changes here and there. But that might change with the upcoming Apple Watch Series 7.

A fresh report says that the new model will be slightly thicker than the previous one. Apple is also exploring ways to reduce the screen bezels. Apart from this, the report also talks about a new lamination technique that brings the display closer to the front cover.

Renders of the Apple Watch Series 7 also surfaced online, showcasing a flat display. The other suggested changes were the addition of blood glucose monitoring, a body temperature sensor, new-swim tracking features and more.

While the upcoming Apple Watch may get a few other features this year. A recent report says that the blood glucose and body temperature tracking feature have been pushed to future Apple Watch iterations.

But that’s not it, we have a bunch of other details to share with you. Keeping that in mind, we decided to detail everything known so far about the Apple Watch Series 7.

Apple Watch Series 7 specs and features

–Like always, there’s a lot of hype around the upcoming Apple Watch. Courtesy of the frequent leaks, we have gathered a decent chunk of information to keep you updated with the latest news popping around the same.

–Bloomberg’s latest report has a lot to reveal about the Apple Watch Series 7. The report states that the upcoming Apple Watch will feature a faster processor, get better wireless connectivity and an updated display. It also mentions that the company has plans to update the Apple Watch, the lower-end Apple Watch SE and introduce a new version aimed at extreme sports enthusiasts.

Previous reports hinted that Apple Watch Series 7 might feature a body temperature sensor and a blood-oxygen sensor. But the latest article says that Apple Watch may take a few more iterations to bring the blood oxygen sensor, whereas the body temperature sensor is likely to make a way in 2022.

–As far as this year’s model is concerned, Apple has tested thinner display borders and a new lamination technique to bring the display closer to the front cover. The new Watch is also reported to be slightly thicker but in a barely noticeable way.

–The upcoming iteration will also get updated ultra-wideband functionality, similar to what we’ve seen in the Apple AirTag. WatchOS 8, previewed at WWDC 2021 with a software update, will bring the capability to unlock doors and hotel rooms. So, we are presuming that Apple Watch Series 7 will be equipped with this feature leveraging the updated ultrawideband support.

–There’s also an extreme sports model in works often referred to as “explorer” or “adventure” edition. It was said that this model would be available as early as this year, but the latest reports suggest that it is more likely to arrive in 2022.

–Apple Watch is expected to get a major design change this year. Some time back on his youtube channel FPT, Jon Prosser revealed the complete design of the Apple Watch Series 7. According to the renders, the upcoming smartwatch will feature a flat display, as seen on the latest Apple products. While the overall footprint will remain the same, bezels may get even smaller on the Apple Watch Series 7. Prosser also says that the new Watch will bring new colour options, including a green variant.
