“Apple has registered several new Apple Watch model identifiers in the Eurasian economic database, as spotted by Consomac,” Dennis Sellers writes for Apple World Today. “The tech giant is expected to unveil new smartwatches at a September event that will also see the roll-out of new iPhones and the long-awaited AirPower wireless charger.”
“Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that the 2018 Apple Watch will have a 15% bigger screen in a ‘more trendy’ form factor,” Sellers writes. “He doesn’t say exactly how this will be accomplished or if the updated smartwatch will pack a bigger chassis.”
Sellers writes, “Kuo also mentioned a larger battery capacity, the addition of new sensors beyond heart rate monitoring, and lowering of prices of older models.”

MacDailyNews Take: Ooh, “more trendy.”
Note that the “trendiest” smartwatch form factor today, by far, is the Apple Watch.

Hopefully a reason to trade up from a Series 3. The 3 was a great improvement from the Series 1 and it has been excellent as hardware. The Watch OS is still in it’s infancy.
I mainly hope they keep supporting the same bands.
I wonder what the other sensors will be, blood sugar?
As nice as that would be, I don’t think “we” are there yet. I hope I’m wrong!
Some may remember that my wife is diabetic, and the Dexcom system connected to her iPhone and appleWatch are literal life savers. She teaches 3rd grade, and this year has a student with a Dexcom, too. They are great, but when it is able to be done non-invasively with sensors on the back of a watch, that will be a glorious day!
Apple watch… my favorite Apple product..
Bring them on… ready to press the buy button.
( quite impressed there are no leaks of the new form-factor…. finally something that will be an actual surprise)
