Apple Watch Series 8 Rumored to Feature New Design With Flat Display

The Apple Watch Series 8 could feature an all-new design with a flat display according to the leaker known asShrimpApplePro.

Jon Prosser highlighted information from ShrimpApplePro that suggests the Apple Watch Series 8 could feature a flat display, which was rumored to be the design of the Apple Watch Series.

There is a flat front glass display for the Apple Watch, according to sources cited by ShrimpApplePro. There is a high chance that this is the front glass for the Apple Watch Series 8 and while there is no clear information about what the overall design could look like or which Apple Watch, there is a high chance that it is.

In May last year, Prosser spearheaded a rumor that Apple was working on an Apple Watch design with flat, squared-off edges, which was subsequently supported by alleged CAD renders and other sources. Prosser suggested that the design could be for the Apple Watch Series 7 but warned that it could also be for the Series 8.

The Apple Watch Series 7 was launched in September last year with a more rounded design, but ShrimpApplePro believes that this may be the case for a new model this year. ShrimpApplePro said that the flat display will be ready for mass production soon and that there will be more to come next month.

This year, Apple is rumored to be preparing to launch three new Apple Watch models, including the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE. According to Prosser, the flat-edged design could be used for any of the new models.

ShrimpApplePro has a growing reputation in the Apple rumor community, providing the first look at the iPhone 14 Pro and its True Depth camera array. ShrimpApplePro correctly said that the Apple Watch Series 7 would feature a rounded design similar to the Apple Watch Series 6, but with thinner display bezels.

Prosser shared renders by Ian Zelbo showing what a flat-edged design could look like on the Apple Watch Series 8. Body temperature monitoring, improved activity tracking, and more are rumored to be features of the Apple Watch Series 8.
