Apple is prepping new Watch models with faster processors, improved connectivity and new sensors

Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the new wearable will feature a faster processor, improved wireless connectivity and an updated display. Apple has reportedly tested models with thinner display borders that utilize a new lamination technique to bring the display closer to the front cover. Series 7 could be slightly thicker than its predecessor, but not so much so that the average user would notice.
This year’s refresh was also supposed to include a body temperature sensor, but sources say that feature is more likely to debut in the 2022 update.
Apple in 2022 will also reportedly launch a successor to its entry-level Apple Watch SE and introduce a new model targeting extreme sports athletes, perhaps branded as an “adventure” or “explorer” edition. A model for outdoor enthusiasts would help Apple compete with similar rugged offerings from companies like Casio and Garmin.
