Apple Watch Series 7 is the new smartwatch from Apple, and it’s official: here are features, availability, price in Italy
From the stage of the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino Apple has made official the new iPhone 13 range, the new iPad and iPad mini 2021 and Apple Watch Series 7. From the new generation of the smart watch with the Apple we expected much more news to hear the rumors, especially in terms of design, but Apple has done his and there is much to say.
Apple Watch Series 7 is so official, and despite the rumors of the eve does not come with a totally new design and similar to that of the iPhone 12 and 13. There’s no shortage of new features, because the company has worked to further optimize the available space, and that’s how the Cupertino smartwatch manages to evolve previous projects: the Apple Watch Series 7 screen is about 20 percent larger than that of Series 6, and consequently can display 50 percent more text. There’s also a 70 percent brighter Always on Display. This and other innovations against a list price that should not be subjected to upsurges.
Apple Watch Series 7: features
During the presentation and in the press release distributed Apple has been silent about the chip that equips the new Watch Series 7. The reason is related to the fact that the chip of the new smartwatch is the same as the previous generation (and it is not the first time, it had already happened in the transition from Series 4 to 5). Therefore, the powerful Apple S6 remains in the director.
The biggest change of Apple Watch Series 7 is the screen, which by virtue of thinner edges presents a display area wider than ever: so there is more space for information thanks also to the new dials. The Apple Watch is available in 41 and 45 mm sizes, which is one millimeter more than in the past.
Apple claims to have significantly improved the construction of its watch: there is a crystal glass that is 50% more resistant than that of Series 6 and boasts IP6X certified dust and liquid resistance, while water resistance according to the WR50 standard remains unchanged. The Apple Watch Series 7 battery benefits from a 33% faster recharge: so in just 8 minutes you get 8 hours of battery life, for a total of 18 hours claimed.
Among the software-side innovations, however, is the ability to monitor e-bike workouts in addition to those with the traditional bicycle.
