This fall will see a bunch of new Apple Watches, it is claimed. And one of them stands out as the most exciting: a new logo that adds to the variety that will be much more resistant than the others and will suit extreme sports enthusiasts. But among the intriguing news, a new report has a great wonder for the price.
According to Mark Gurman in his most recent Power On newsletter, the super-rugged Apple Watch will be very different from the existing model, the 7 series. That means Apple “is about to give the Apple Watch its ‘Pro’ level. “sense. After all, there have been models like the iPhone Pro, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, AirPods Pro, and iMac Pro, so why the Apple Watch Pro?
Gurman says adding the Pro suffix means other things, but one upgrade is consistent: a higher price.
Many of Gurman’s comments have been made through him and others before: you can read my full summary of the most recent main points here. These come with a larger screen, a more shock-resistant front, greater swimming and hiking tracking, longer battery life, and a higher-end steel coating.
Now, Gurman clarifies that he believes the new steel is most likely titanium. Personally, I expected ceramics to return to the range. Gurman has a stab in the call of the new watch. After all, there have been rumors about Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch Max, Apple Watch Plus, and Apple Watch Explorer. The latter seemed a bit lazy to me.
Gurman says, “Since the rugged Apple Watch, codenamed N199 within the company, will apply to sports enthusiasts and consumers who turn to Apple’s professional offerings, I think the company will likely opt for the Apple Watch Pro call and marketing. Apple has already touted the durability of existing watches, so it’s obviously a point of promotion that says click with consumers.
This makes sense to me and aligns with Apple users’ expectations for a higher price.
So what will happen to the current top-of-the-range finish, the Apple Watch Edition, which is currently offered in titanium finish?Gurman believes they will abandon him. ” The switch to a new Apple Watch will likely mean the end of the Apple Watch edition. “
That might be true, I’m gently floating the idea that Apple Watch Edition may also be the call of the new model.
Still, the models of the previous edition had the same design and features as the watches, and the high-end steel justified the additional price. Or maybe Apple Watch Edition will continue with this new Apple Watch Pro.
Gurman says a new Apple Watch SE will reposition the existing styling for $279. That might be true, but with the Series 3 set to disappear from the lineup, I have the idea that there was a definite position for the original SE to become the entry. -level of style to disappear.
Finally, Gurman shows the value he expects Apple to charge, and it’s a bit tearful. The existing Apple Watch Edition costs $849 for the larger style of 45mm. But the new “Pro” style will charge much more, it is claimed. Gurman said, “Given that the new high-end Apple Watch will include a larger screen, new sensors, and high-end materials, I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts closer to $900 to $999. “
If this is true, the starting price of the Pro Watch will be almost the same as that of the iPhone Pro.
I’m not sure, I think that’s correct. My intuition is that Apple will need its Apple Watch Pro to be more than that. We’ll know in the coming months.
