A so-called Pro version of the nextApple Watchcould cost almost £1,000, feature the largest display ever fitted to anApplewearable, and stand up to use during extreme sports.
That’s the latest from Mark Gurman ofBloomberg, who has a strong track record when it comes to Apple rumours, leaks and speculation.
It has been suggested for some time that Apple is working on a tougher version of its wearable, joining the family with the launch of theWatch Series 8, which is due to be announced in September, along with theiPhone 14.
As well as being the toughest and biggest Apple Watch to date, it could also be one of the most expensive, costing more than the current generation of titanium Apple Watch Edition.
Gurman said: “Given that the new high-end Apple Watch will pack in a slightly larger display, new sensors and higher-end materials, I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts closer to $900 to $999 [£830], the starting price of aniPhone 13 Pro. We’re only a couple of months away from finding out exactly where Apple lands.”
As for the new model’s name, Gurman suggests that Apple could use Watch Max orWatch Explorer Edition, but believes the company is more likely to call it the Watch Pro, to fit in with its other high-end offerings across theiPhone,iPadand Mac lineups.
