Apple Watch Series 7 Could Feature a Design Inspired by iPhone 4

Flat-edged Apple Watch likely coming in September

Apple is working on a new-generation Apple Watch, and if recent speculation is accurate, then the device could come with a welcome redesign.

More specifically, leakster Jon Prosser says Apple is likely to go for a flat-edged design for the Apple Watch Series 7, which means the company gives up on the rounded corners in the favor of an approach based on the iPhone 4.

In other words, the Apple Watch 7 will look more like the iPhone 12, which in its turn reminds of the original iPhone 4 that everybody loves.

Furthermore, Prosser says there’s a chance a green color is also planned, possibly alongside the blue version that’s already up for grabs.

Coming in September

According to Apple’s typical calendar, Apple Watch 7 could launch in September alongside the new iPhone generation.

Because yes, Apple is trying to unveil its new-generation products according to its typical calendar and therefore avoid any potential delays.

Last year, Apple took the wraps off its new smartphones and the Apple Watch gradually due to delays caused by the global health issue and impacting its suppliers and production power.

But for 2021, Apple has tried to start all phases of the iPhone 13 development process earlier than usual, all in an attempt to make sure no delay would occur.

The company will unveil four different iPhones this year, all upgrades to the current models already on the market. Customers would therefore be provided with an iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. This is likely to be the last year for the mini, as Apple is likely to drop the 5.4-inch version beginning with the 2022 generation, going instead for a new 6.1-inch iPhone that would be sold alongside the rest of the lineup.
