In a note to investors — as noted by MacRumors — DSCC’s Ross Young and Haitong International Securities’s Jeff Pu say Apple is working on an Apple Watch Series 8 model with a larger display.
Young tweets that we’ll see a model with a screen that’s 1.99 inches diagonally. Pu says that Apple supplier Luxshare will be the “sole supplier” for a “high-end” 2-inch Apple Watch model this year.
A 1.99-inch Apple Watch display size compares to 1.691-inches on the 41mm Apple Watch Series 7 and 1.901-inches on the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7. The new display size would offer an additional 0.089-inches of space diagonally over the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7, which is almost a 5% increase, notes MacRumors.
Other rumors about the Apple Watch Series 8:
° It may have a new built-in sensor to tell if you have a fever.
° It may have a flat front glass display redesign.
° There may be an “extreme sports” version.
Forget this size idiocy and let’s just strap a friggin full size iPhone to our wrists.
