Apple Watch 'Pro' Rumored to Feature Bigger Display, Body Temperature Sensor
The high-end smartwatch is said to usher in Apple's first major redesign since 2018.
The rumored Apple Watch "Pro" is expected to be the successor to the Series 7, shown above.
Apple is expected to unveil three versions of its smartwatch this fall: the new SE, Series 8 and a high-end model, called the Apple Watch "Pro." The latter will feature a major redesign, longer battery life and a body temperature sensor, among other upgrades, according to a Sunday report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Gurman says the high-end Apple Watch's screen will be 7% larger than the standard model and sport a fresh design that is an "evolution of the current rectangular shape" without being circular. The Apple Watch "Pro" is also rumored to feature a more durable titanium body.
As for health features, the high-end Apple Watch is said to have a body temperature sensor. A previous report from Bloomberg suggests the sensor will be able to detect fevers and tell you when to check with a dedicated thermometer or consult a doctor.
The Apple Watch "Pro" may offer longer battery life, as well. Gurman suggests the high-end Apple Watch will support multiple day uses on a single charge through a new low-power mode.
Apple has yet to announce a release date for its upcoming Apple Watch, but rumors point to a fall launch alongside the iPhone 14 and AirPods Pro 2.
Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
