Apple is gearing up for its annual September event this Wednesday, where it is expected to unveil the new iPhone 14 family as well as new smart watches.
One of them, the Apple Watch Pro, would be the highest-end, most “Pro” wearable the company has ever produced.
And now, less than 48 hours before its possible official debut, the Apple Watch Pro has been spotted in some CAD-based renders.
They show a larger model than previous Apple Watch iterations, and rumors claim it will have a 47- or 49-mm case and an almost 2″ display that will be flat to protect it from impact.
That’s because, according to speculation, this will be a device aimed at competing with Garmin – a wearable for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. As a result, the larger size and, presumably, increased toughness.
It even has an extra button on the left side, though it’s unclear what it’s for right now. The larger size will allow for a larger battery, and previous leaks indicate that the Watch Pro will have a titanium casing and a low-power mode.
All of this might end up costing you dearly, however, as the rumored price point for this smartwatch is $900 to $1,000.
If the Apple Watch Pro (or whatever it’s going to be called) isn’t announced this week, there’s always Apple’s October event to make up for it – this is when new tablets and computers are usually unveiled, and it may be the same this year.
