Today, September 14, during its event, Apple officially unveiled a new generation of smartwatches – Apple Watch Series 7. As reported by insiders, the device received an enlarged display, which, thanks to thin bezels (they are probably even thinner than on flagship smartphones) fit into a body that is almost the same size as the previous generation model.\u00a0At the same time, the thickness of the case has become smaller, the glass on the display has received a noticeable rounding, and the brightness of the screen has increased by 70%.\u00a0But the manufacturer decided not to stop only on the hardware component – the large display opened up new horizons for watchOS 8.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Thanks to the large diagonal of the display, the developers from Apple were able to implement a full-fledged QWERTY keyboard for this device.\u00a0Accordingly, now the user will be able to type messages directly from the watch display – the company claims that this is quite convenient, but, of course, this still needs to be checked.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Also, the new generation of smartwatches has become more durable – these are the strongest Apple Watch in the entire history of the line’s existence.\u00a0The watch has received IP6X certification – it is not afraid of fine dust and dirt, and is also more resistant to physical impact.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Apple also said that the new smartwatch boasts 18 hours of battery life, and charging is now 30% faster than the previous generation – in eight minutes at the charging station (via USB-C), the watch receives energy for eight hours of tracking the user’s sleep.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Of course, Apple has not been without new case colors, a sea of \u200b\u200bnew dials and, of course, straps.\u00a0There are really a lot of options, some look extremely fresh and provide a potential buyer with a good choice.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Now for the new pricing – the Series 3 is now $ 199, the Watch SE is $ 279, and the Series 7 is $ 399.\u00a0The start of sales is scheduled for the fall of 2021, the exact date has not yet been named.<\/p>\n
