Apple Watch Pro will reportedly introduce first redesign since 2018

Details about Apples upcoming high-end variant of the Apple Watch Series 8 have been trickling out in recent weeks. According to a report Bloombergs Mark Gurman published at the start of the month, the wearable will feature the largest display Apple has ever shipped on a smartwatch. As a result, it may also include a new design.

In his most recent Power On newsletter, Gurman says the Apple Watch Pro will incorporate a fresh design. The company hasnt redesigned its wearable line since it introduced the Series 4 in 2018. Gurman notes the new model will be a good bit bigger than Apples current Series 7 models to accommodate a screen that is seven percent larger. It also wont have those rumored flat sides, he adds, noting the redesign will represent an evolution of the current rectangular shape.

Additionally, Apple will reportedly employ a more durable formulation of titanium for the casing that should make the smartwatch better suited for extreme sports. With a bigger battery and Apples long-rumored Low Power Mode, Gurman says the Apple Watch Pro could go multiple days on a single charge. It will also include the rumored body temperature sensor Apple is preparing for the entire Series 8 line.

A high-end Apple Watch is one of many products Apple is reportedly working on for the fall and beyond. Gurman previously said the company plans to release a deluge of devices over the next year. Among the more notable items the company has on the way includes a replacement for the original HomePod.
