(Pocket -Lint) - The next Apple smartwatch will not appear until later in 2022, probably alongside Lagamme iPhone 14, but that does not mean that we cannot speculate on what we would like to see.

What will the next Apple Watch be called?

Unlike the iPhone, Apple has not changed Watch's naming structure.Since the original has been followed by the Apple Watch Series 1, the company has used sequential numbers each year.

It is therefore very likely that we can expect the 2022 watch to be Apple Watch Series 8, succeeding the Apple Watch Series 7 of 2021.We saw the launch of the Watch is in 2020, but there was no follow -up in 2021, so we could also see a successor at the mid -range smartwatch.The mid -range iPhone SE smartphone should be updated in March 2022.

The new watches (s) will undoubtedly work under Watchos 9 of Apple, which will probably be presented in preview at the Conference of Apple developers which normally took place in June.

Apple Watch Series 8 release date

Apple generally organizes its launch event of the iPhone in September of each year and the next iteration of the watch is normally announced at the same time.

For 2021, the iPhone 13 range and the Apple Watch Series 7 were announced during an event on September 14.While 2020 did not quite follow the “normal” path, the Apple Watch Series 6 and Watch were revealed before the iPhone 12 series on September 15, 2020, so September is generally the month of the newspaper.

On the basis of previous years, we would have penciled on September 13, 2022, but we would have put it in very light pencil at the moment.It will take a while before we know it too, with invitations that are unlikely to appear before the beginning of September 2022.

In terms of price, the Apple Watch Series 7 starts at $ 399/£ 379.We would touch ourselves at the same stage for the 8 series.

Apple Watch Série 8 design

The Apple Watch Series 4 has made major design changes in terms of display and Series 5, Series 6 and Watch are adopting the same design.The general style and shape remain the same as the original watch, but they offer much more screen in similar imprints.The 7 series has once again increased the screen size and the housing options have gone from 40 mm and 44 mm to 41 mm and 45 mm, although the general design has not changed.

It could therefore be that the series 8 offers larger design changes - such as the flat edges according to the rumor for series 7 which never appeared, and perhaps a third size option as rumors have suggested.

The flat edges would put the Apple Watch online with other Apple devices, such as the iPhone 13 series, the new iMac and the more expensive iPads.The Apple Watch has the same form factor since its introduction, but the flat edges would allow it to keep it, while offering a refreshment.

What we want and expect to see on the next Apple Watch

We would touch on more health and physical form, perhaps by taking Garmin with more race functions, for example.Garmin also does an excellent job by allowing users to share their races or activities, so we would not be surprised to see Apple take a sheet of this book.We would like to see something like Garmin's body battery also arrives on the Apple Watch, but we don't think it will happen for the 8 series.

We would also like to see battery improvements to match other smart watches on the market, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and we would also like to see more advanced sleep monitoring on the 8 series, as well as homelessness capacities.Apple revealed sleep monitoring as part of Watchos 7, which means that it is also available on the old Apple watches, but it is not as detailed as some other devices on the market.Perhaps additional equipment on the 8 series could set it up with the Fitbit and Garmin.

Other possibilities could include elements such as intelligent bracelets, the care by third parties of watch dials, a camera and a facial identifier or a fingerprint sensor under the screen, although we suspectedThat the latter are a vow pile rather than plausible additions, mainly due to the lack of space for the sensors.

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Apple Watch is the digital crown.A rumor in February 2020 suggested that he could get new features to make him tactile or sensitive to light.Admittedly, Apple would intend that the crown becomes more sensitive thanks to these methods, no less.These were spotted thanks to a patent release.

"The crown can include an element of orientation of the light configured to direct, on the image detection element, an image of an object in contact with the imagery surface", specifies the folder.The crown could potentially detect the movement of your finger when you turn or touch the crown.

Apple Insider suggests that this could mean that the digital crown has less physical volume, which leaves room in the watch for other components.

January 30, 2020: Will Digital Crown be replaced by an optical reader?

A patent spotted by Patently Apple shows that the Apple Watch Digital Crown is replaced by an optical fingerprint reader instead which could then recognize the gestures, as if you were to rotate the virtual crown.
