At its California Streaming event on September 14, Apple lifted the veil on the iPhone 13 series, new iPad and iPad mini, as well as the Apple Watch 7. While other products are already available on the market , the new Apple Watch is not yet released.
But the good news is that very soon you will be able to pre-order the new watch from the Cupertino company. On its site, Apple announces that the Apple Watch can be ordered from October 8. Then, the company will start delivering from Friday, October 15.
Apple doesn’t explain why the Apple Watch 7 is late. But previous rumors had raised a production concern that would have disrupted the release.
At the root of this problem would be the new screen. Indeed, compared to its predecessor, the Apple Watch 7 has a 20% larger screen and 40% thinner bezels.
Bigger screen
This is also the main novelty. The Apple Watch is available with 41mm and 45mm cases. Of course, Apple modified the interface so that we can better take advantage of this larger screen. And the firm also offers a new AZERTY keyboard as well as new dials.
The Apple Watch 7 also has better durability. According to Apple, the screen is more solid and for the first time the watch has an IP 6X certified dust resistance, while the water resistance is WR50 certified.
Apple offers five new aluminum case finishes: Midnight, Starlight, Green, A New Blue, and (PRODUCT) RED. There are also models in stainless steel as well as the Apple Watch Edition in titanium.
Regarding the features, we find all the sensors we had on the Apple Watch 6, such as the oxygen level sensor or the ECG. Apple has also added new health and wellness tracking features.
As for autonomy, it is still 18 hours. But charging is 33% faster on the Apple Watch 7.
The Apple Watch 7 has a starting price of 429 euros.
