Various rumors suggest that the Apple Watch Series 8 will bring with it a more robust, sports-oriented version.
But now it is reported that this version could be called “Extreme Sports” and that it will have a larger screen area than the previous generation.
Apple Watch Series 8 Extreme Sports with 7% more screen area
The new generation of Apple’s smart watch arrives in September, but rumors have been circulating for some time that reveal some of the news that the wearable could bring. One of the rumors that has gained more strength is that the Apple Watch Series 8 will have a more robust version, intended for sports.
Now Mark Gurman, a journalist for the Bloomberg news agency, makes some more revelations about these variants. According to the well-known journalist, this version could have the commercial name of “Extreme Sports” and should arrive with a screen area 7% larger than that of the current generation of the smart watch.
Gurman also teases that the screen will have a resolution of around 502×410 pixels and that a larger screen will be able to display more information, or even data from other genres, that the smaller screen cannot.
The extreme sports version of the Apple Watch Series 8 could have a bigger battery
But Mark Gurman goes further in his predictions about this variant of Apple’s smart watch. The journalist claims that the Extreme Sports version will be able to bring with it a larger battery to have enough autonomy for longer training sessions.
The well-known and reliable journalist regarding the rumors about Apple, also advances that this variant, like the standard model of the Watch Series 8, could be able to measure the user’s body temperature. However, he unfortunately does not explain how the wearable will do it.
In addition, Mark Gurman predicts that the Apple Watch Extreme Sports will hit the market at a higher cost than the standard stainless steel model, which is not surprising given that it is a model with more advanced specifications.
