Apple to Reveal new Watch Type at Wednesday’s event?

CompuScoop Staff August 31, 2022 1

Apple will bring a redesigned Apple Watch to market with new high-end “extreme” model featuring a ruggedized metal case made of a more durable titanium formulation and a larger 50mm display (up from 45mm on the current largest model).

The company is expected to announce new iPhone models, as it has every September since 2012.

This year’s event has the tagline “far out,” which could refer to features such as night-sky photography.

Apple is likely to show the eighth major new version of its watch next week… Apple is considering a body temperature sensor in the new devices, according to the Wall Street Journal, which could help with fertility and sleep tracking. Other sleep tracking features could include the ability to detect advanced sleep patterns or apnea.

But the biggest Apple Watch Series 8 announcement could be a new “Pro” model with a bigger screen and more durable finish. Apple has previously released Apple Watches with pricey case materials such as gold, ceramic and titanium, and the new “Pro” model described by Bloomberg and Kuo could be one of the first high-end Apple Watches to gain additional features over its less-expensive siblings.

Also likely: A new updated version of the Apple Watch SE, its $329 entry-level Watch model.

To participate by telephone, media must RSVP no later than two hours prior to the start of the event to: ksc-newsroom@mail.nasa.gov.

The Artemis I launch was scrubbed Monday after encountering an issue getting one of the four RS-25 engines on the bottom of the rocket’s core stage to the proper temperature range for liftoff.

Artemis I is a test flight to launch NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and an uncrewed Orion spacecraft around the Moon before the Artemis II mission, which will have astronauts aboard. Through Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.
