Apple Reportedly Planning High-End Watch With New Design, Bigger Screen

Apple is reportedly planning to debut a high-end Apple Watch with a larger screen and a new design, according to a Bloomberg report. CNBC reports: Apple increased the screen size with the Series 7 watches last year, which offer an edge-to-edge screen that removes much of the border on earlier models. But Bloomberg said the new high-end model will feature the first big design change since 2018 with a screen that's 7% larger than the Series 7. It will also have a rugged design, longer battery life and a body-temperature sensor, the report said. It may be a sign Apple is targeting Garmin's Fenix 7 series watches, which have big screens, long battery life and rugged designs. Those watches are popular among hikers and runners who need longer battery life than the Apple Watch offers. [...] Apple is also expected to announce a new version of its $279 Apple Watch SE, according to the report. The SE models typically include features found in earlier iterations of the Apple Watch, but at a lower price.
