The rumor: Apple is planning a revamped design and more for the upcoming 2021 Apple Watch models, according to Mark Gurman (88.8% accurate, via Power On).
- “I’m told that Apple will bundle multiple new watch faces to take advantage of the bigger screen, including an updated Infograph Modular face” Gurman says
- New 41/45mm sizes are expected this year, alongside a new design with design language similar to iPhone 12
Our take: Sure, the new watch faces sound great…but again, what new features are actually coming to the Series 7? We’ve heard essentially nothing other than it will look new, which will make upgrading year-over-year essentially pointless for even Apple’s most diehard fans. Don’t get me wrong, a new design goes a long way. But the past three years of which upgrades have been incredibly muted and the lack of competition to this product is showing.
