It looks like the upcomingWatch Series 8could be the biggestApplesmartwatch yet, with a screen even larger than that of the 45mmWatch Series 7.
This is according to both Ross Young of Digital Supply Chain Consultants and Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities. Both analysts believe the newApple Watch8 will feature a display that is slightly larger than its predecessor.
But we’re only talking about a very small increase, at around five percent, or just 0.089 inches, increasing the total to 1.99 inches.
It looks like flattening the screen from its current, slightly curved look will cause it to grow slightly to the new 1.99-inch form factor.
The latest claim comes from Young, who has previously said Apple is working on three sizes ofWatch Series 8instead of the usual two. Answering a question about these screen sizes on Twitter, Youngsaid: “New size is larger, 1.99”.”
As for where claims of a flat-fronted Apple Watch first came from, that was the work of a leaker known as ShrimpApplePro, whosaid in Maythat a “flat front glass display” would be featured on the Watch Series 8. The same leaker was previously correct in saying how the Watch Series 7 would have the same design as the Series 6.
