Specifically, the Apple Watch Series 7 still bears the “Watch6” base model number, with sub-designations of 6–9 for each of the combinations of GPS, Cellular, 41mm, and 45mm models. €¦and it’s because it’s the exact same as last year’s Series 6 👀 In fact it doesn’t even get a new model number, it’s effectively just a chassis tweak /mLsTNkdTNO- Steve Troughton-Smith September 15, 2021 There is a reason Apple didn’t talk about the Apple Watch Series 7 CPU this year…

We’re hoping Apple doesn’t cheap out and require Series 7 owners to buy the new cable separately, although it’s almost certain you’ll need to supply your own 20W USB-C power adapter. While you’ll need a new USB-C Magnetic Charger for this, it will allow you to top up your Apple Watch to 80% with only 45 minutes on the charger. The Apple Watch Series 7 offers one other important quality-of-life improvement too in the form of faster charging.

To be fair, even though it’s only a 1mm increase, the larger watch face is kind of a big deal, as Braun noted that you can now get 50% more text, and even a full keyboard on it.Īs we’ve seen from similarly iterative iPhone improvements over the years, this sort of thing can make a tangible difference in the user experience, but it’s not exactly a groundbreaking change. When Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Williams, unveiled the new Apple Watch yesterday, he and Product Manager Lauren Braun spent most of their time talking about the larger screen and newer watch faces, and it turns out there’s a good reason for that, since these are the only really significant changes in this year’s Apple Watch. The rumour mill got us worked up, sharing a new design that never came, but that’s not the only underwhelming thing about this year’s model.

While the new Apple Watch Series 7 was probably the biggest disappointment at yesterday’s event, it’s not really fair to lay all the blame at Apple’s feet.
