Problems on the horizon for Apple and its Watch Series 7: the new design has greatly complicated the production, in the background also considerable delays
Indiscretions not too reassuring for those who have been stalling in buying an Apple Watch waiting for the new generation, the Series 7. Despite almost all the rumors that have come so far have included the Apple smartwatch among the news of the event for the iPhone 13, in recent hours some clouds have covered the sky.
It seems that among the news of the event that should take place on September 14 may lack the Apple Watch Series 7. No launch by the end of September then to hear the latest rumors, which see the debut of the next generation slightly more distant in time. The reason would be due to production difficulties due to the new design decided by the designers, which has introduced significant design challenges leading Apple to have to redesign some components, including modules and sensors at a time when the production of electronic devices is made slower and more difficult by the crisis of chips.
They’re working day and night for Apple Watch 7
Probably Apple didn’t suspect that the new squared lines of Series 7 (which therefore will look little like its predecessors) would have involved such challenging problems, and for this reason, according to rumors, the production should suffer significant delays. Exaggerated? Not really.
The well-informed increase the dose, trusting that by now several people familiar with the production chain of Apple know that Apple’s suppliers would even have difficulty in estimating when certain components will be ready, and that they would be working day and night, “24 hours a day”, to come out of what seems to be quicksand.
If things really were as the sources who painted this scenario to colleagues at the Nikkei Asia newspaper paint them, any hope of having Apple Watch Series 7s available for purchase by the end of September could be put aside.
Showcasing and market availability are two different things: Cupertino could also make the new Apple Watch official along with the iPhone 13 in a few days, presumably on September 14, but sales and shipments may not start until October, or maybe later depending on the severity of the situation and how quickly Apple, in concert with suppliers, will be able to solve the production problems.
Series 7’s main new design
Apple Watch Series 7 is expected to have a major revolution in terms of design, the most since Cupertino’s smartwatch came to market with the first generation. This should be the biggest news this year, with the technical features expected to remain roughly unchanged.
Making the obvious exception for the chip that will certainly be revamped, thus made more powerful and less power-hungry, along with a few other new features.
