Apple Watch 4 Rumor Roundup
Apple is not talking about the Apple Watch 4, or Apple Watch Series 4, and probably won’t even mention it until late 2018, but we can help you decide if it is worth waiting. For some users this might mean waiting to buy your first Apple Watch, but for others it’s about whether or not it makes sense to buy the Apple Watch 3 with an Apple Watch 2 on your wrist.
Expect an Apple Watch 4 release date in September. Apple released the last two models in September and it makes sense for them to stick with this tradition. It’s too early to expect an announcement this Spring.
The latest reports indicate the Apple Watch 4 will feature a larger display and potentially a new design with thinner bezels. This report on 9to5Mac comes from Ming Chi Kuo, who has a good track record in predicting Apple announcements.
After three models it feels like Apple could opt for a new design without significantly disrupting the accessory market by changing the Apple Watch band style or size. While Kuo’s report doesn’t specifically mention specific design changes, it outlines a “more trendy form factor design.” Expect to learn more about this in the summer as a new version of watchOS could include some inadvertent information. That said, there are some Apple patents for new display types and new band designs so there is a chance.
Apple is committed to the health accessories for the Apple Watch, but there are still no official sensor watch bands and limited internal sensors. Adding more would require FDA approval, but that could come after a new watch is on the market. The AlivCor KardiaBand is an FDA approved EKG band for the current Apple Watch models. We could see Apple add in a different type of connection or communication method to open this marketplace up more. Apple is working to add new sensors according to Bloomberg. Kuo’s latest report indicates Apple will add new health sensors, but it is not clear what those will do.
We do expect even better Apple Watch 4 battery life and we expect that there will be a faster processor. The Apple Watch 3 is much faster and the battery life is much better than the Series 2, and if Apple can keep that upgrade pace users will be in for a treat.
It’s still very early, with the Apple Watch 3 release date just a few months past, but there are still some reasons to wait for the the new Apple Watch 4 especially as 2018 starts. Even with rumors of a Spring Apple event we don’t expect to see one that fast. We’ll help you walk through why you should wait and why you should buy an Apple Watch 3.
