Rumor: Apple Watch Series 7 to Come in Larger 41mm and 45mm Sizes

[dampfnudel]

Larger display, same features, null effort in design shape. Anyone to “upgrade” from S6?.

For me, it would be my first AW. For others who have a S6, the redesign may be enough reason to upgrade (it’s more than enough reason for people to upgrade their iPhones).

If they also manage to remove more of the bezel, it should help create a much more streamlined look than the current bulbous model.

The bands will work. But will they still fit, specifically the loop bands that are non-adjustable. Or will the bigger case make them looser?

 

[Lemon Olive]

1MM more? That’s it?

Bigger screen is always good. I just hope Apple can introduce appealing Apple Watch colors this time.

Very much agree. They can go a lot bigger on the larger Apple Watch. 47, 48 mm. Make it easier to see is a good thing.

 

[Lemon Olive]

Since this means the case will be going up 1 mm, and the rumors suggest smaller bezels, that means the display could be getting significantly bigger, which is a really really good thing.

People literally just can’t wait to complain about any and everything

Says a complainer. 🤔

 

[justperry]

what do you want 5” screen on your wrist? 🤣

My eyes want even bigger.

 

[Spock]

I would like to have a green Apple Watch but I think I would be concerned with it clashing with my clothes. Neutral colors for the Apple Watch makes much more sense to me.

 

[Denzo]

Unless it ends up being round faced or incredibly good looking/different I’m content with my older 44mm.

I might finally upgrade my Apple Watch Series 1!. I will likely go AW7 41MM or the AW SE in 42MM, depending on prices. Either will be a substantial upgrade for me, and hopefully give me another 5 years of service like my Series 1 has.

Dude,
You are so far overdue, the library gave up on the fine ever being paid. Get with the program already.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

Hopefully this increased screen area will bring Logic and Final Cut to the Watch.

 

[ghanwani]

I'm not buying till they offer a screen size of 4", approx 101 mm.

 

[frogslapper]

Eh, just tie your iPhone to your wrist at this point.

 

[Koni17]

These are going to look great, finally a meaningful aesthetic update to the Apple Watch. My bet is they are going to sell very well, larger case size combined with smaller bezels and a bigger screen, this is going to make for a very sharp looking watch and is going to be the most functional Watch yet!

I'm waiting for the Necklace iWatch:

You know why the ladies love Flavor Flav?

He has a Massive Clock.

 

[Skewlovevism]

is this how is it going to be? our phones became tablets and watches will become phones??

They are already priced like phones, so why not

The comments brought to mind a 1966 advertising slogan for Benson & Hedges 100 cigarettes: "A silly millimeter longer!" I'm sure that I'm one of the few on the forum that was even ALIVE in the 60s.

I was alive back in those days of cigarette ads on TV. I guess the ad agencies knew what they were doing because I can still remember a lot of those slogans nearly 60 years later, including the lyrics to the Virginia Slims song. Ugh! 😮‍💨

 

[hatchettjack]

I was hoping for 46mm! If they release it in the same colors as the iMac, it will be epic!

 

[hatchettjack]

And I hope they change the band size! 😏

 

[Takeo]

The combination of straight sided case + 1mm bigger case + potentially smaller bezels on the screen itself could make for a nice increase in screen real estate on the smaller watch!

 

[howywood]

I'm not sure I like the idea of wearing something that is larger on the wrist. Yeah it's only 1 mm, but if they keep growing each year, than 5 years from now you might as well get an Iphone holder for the arm and use that. There are times when I do find the watch a little uncomfortable, specifically later in the day.

Wrong. America's fat will continue to grow with the watches.

Well I was alive in the 40s......and I really love my cellphone, watch, on my wrist.

 

[GuruZac]

Definitely upping my Series 5 44mm to a 45mm Series 7 Cellular. I like the new squared off design, but the bigger reason is I want a cellular watch.

 

[DeepIn2U]

1MM more? That’s it?

Bigger screen is always good. I just hope Apple can introduce appealing Apple Watch colors this time.

Right?! Unless it’s the casing itself getting 1mm wider it doesn’t make sense not even to really increase battery size for life. I call bs on this rumor.

Lets start 1mm memes

LOL - you go first - bet!

I wouldn’t be so sure, I expect Apple will have two watches available (not this year, but perhaps at some point). There will be one with the standard band fitting and then a higher end one with a new band. They’ll phase out the old band after a few years.

Apple for 2020-2021 already has two phones. 3 actually.
Hermes/Edition (sapphire + SS/Gold/Ceramic)
Sport/Nike (aluminum, Ion-X + colours)
SE - low cost edition.

you most likely mean 2 case sixes and watch bands suited to fit.

I’m hoping for a 45/52 mm case design. Bringing significant battery storage/life improvements without sacrificing features and with super efficient S-series SoC to cope.

within 2yrs we may see the 5 day Apple Watch battery life. Apple killed the ultra portable laptop with M1 low consumption for TDP so I’m sure their engineers have learned leaps and bounds working with TSMC on the M1

I would love to upgrade my S4 to the S7, but I’m not going to upgrade iOS 14 to iOS 15 yet, so not S7 for me
