Apple Watch Series 7, few changes to continue reigning
Looking at the specifications and comparison between all these Apple Watch models, one thing is clear: the Apple Watch Series 7 is a discrete improvement between generations. It is true that the increase in the screen is always a welcome improvement, as it brings new dials and more space with which to enjoy the watch.
Developers get a bigger canvas to work with, an always welcome enhancement to push their apps forward. The screen increases by 20% more than previous generations, being more than 50% of what we find in an Apple Watch Series 3. This is achieved without modifying the size of the clock, but reducing the edges by 40%. In addition, we have an always-on mode that is 70% brighter in idle.
The processor of the Apple Watch Series 7 is the great unknown of this generation. Apple didn’t mention it during the keynote, which leads us to think it ‘s the same one we saw on the Apple Watch Series 6 . We hope to dispel any doubts in the coming weeks.
Officially, the Apple Watch was not dust resistant until now. If we look with perspective, the Apple Watch Series 7 is not a quantum leap in the apple watch. But it does bring improvements that add a lot, such as its larger screen, and others that add something to the whole. Of course, the Apple Watch receives a facelift to continue leading the smartwatch market.
