Apple Watch 7 Release Date, Price, Specs And Rumors

The Apple Watch 7 is likely to be the next top-end smartwatch of the company. And it could be launched alongside the Apple Watch SE. The Apple Watch 7 will be the successor of the Apple Watch 6, hopefully with some new features. Apple Watch 7 release date may be in the second half of 2021.

As it will be a long time before the watch is released, we don’t know what it will be like. However, there have been some leaks and rumors surfacing pointing to some new features and design changes.

Apple Watch 7 Release Date

The only rumors mention the release date of the Apple Watch 7 is from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who is known for his accurate information for Apple products. According to Kuo, the new Apple Watch model will come out in the second half of this year.

This doesn’t come as a surprise though as for years, Apple has been introducing its new smartwatches in September. With all the disruption that the COVID-19 pandemic caused in 2020, we would still expect the Apple Watch 7 to come in September 2021.

Apple Watch 7 Price

Apple has been quite consistent with pricing. For the Apple Watch 6, the price starts at $399. For the last models, there has been some fluctuation in terms of pricing. So the Apple Watch 7 is expected to cost around the same.

Apple Watch 7 News & Leaks

Although there aren’t many leaks about the Apple Watch 7 yet,  we have heard and read a few things. During his the Outside podcast appearance, Tim Cook mentioned the importance of the body.

While that is very vague, this could suggest that Apple would keep on focusing on health and fitness features for its future Apple Watches.

Ming-Chi Kuo has also predicted that the new Apple Watch would benefit from improved form factor design and innovative health management features.

It is likely that the Apple Watch 7 might come with a new design and new health features. And this could very be a big design change.

One of the new health features could be a glucometer for blood sugar level measuring. According to one report, the Apple Watch 7 could be one of the smartwatches of 2021 to have this feature. In particular, it would be useful for those having diabetes and need to monitor their blood sugar. However, people with other conditions could also benefit from this.

With a patent showing a battery embedded within the strap, it could mean that Apple might make a big change to the strap of the Watch 7. However, not many ideas in patents are used, so don’t get your hope up.

There has also been a patent suggesting that a future Apple Watch could have a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. We have also seen one suggesting that a Touch ID scanner would be built into the watch’s home button.

It seems that Apple is looking to add to the anodized metal of its products a matte black finish. There is a possibility that the Apple Watch 7 could have a new color.

Finally, there have been several rumors suggesting that Apple wants to switch from OLED screens to micro-LED ones for its devices. Micro-LED can improve image quality while reducing battery consumption.

What we want to see

1. Better battery life

No Apple Watch model has had great battery life. For such a premium device, the battery life of the Apple Watches is disappointing. For the Apple Watch 7, we would like to see Apple adding a big improvement to the battery life. So that users only have to charge it every few days.

2. A big new feature

The Watch 6 from Apple is a great smartwatch. However, it doesn’t have the most exciting of updates. That is mainly because Apple didn’t add to it a headline feature. With the Apple Watch 7, we want something new and exciting.

3. Improved sleep tracking

The sleep tracking feature that the Apple Watch 6 offers is basic. The official feature doesn’t tell you the time you spend in each sleep, how your stress levels are affected by your sleep or how your bedtime influenced your sleep quality.

So we want better sleep tracking on the Apple Watch 7.

4. More fitness tracking skills

The Apple Watch 6 does well as a basic fitness tracker. However, it might feel lacking for more serious athletes. There is no way that you can set up interval training. Moreover, compared to other devices, the GPS is not as accurate, especially when used in long distances.

​That is all the information that we have got regarding the Apple Watch 7 release date, price, and rumors. We will update this article if more information is available.
