Apple Announces Apple Watch Series 7 Featuring More Advanced Display

Apple has announced on Tuesday that its Watch Series 7 features a re-engineered Always-On Retina display with significantly more screen area and thinner borders, making it the largest and most advanced display ever.

The Apple Watch Series 7 looks a little different than its predecessors. The display has a unique refractive edge that makes full-screen watch faces and apps appear to seamlessly connect with the curvature of the case. It is the first Apple Watch to have an IP6X certification for resistance to dust and maintains a WR50 water resistance rating.

The display of the Apple Watch Series 7 offers nearly 20 percent more screen area and thinner borders at just 1.7 mm — 40 percent smaller than those on Apple Watch Series 6 and the always-on screen mode is 70 percent brighter. Apple claims you can cram 50 percent more text onto the display than the Series 6. The new display also means new ways to interact, with a full keyboard that will support swiping.

Apple also claimed that the Apple Watch Series 7 provides all-day 18-hour battery life on a single charge, and 33 percent faster charging compared with Apple Watch Series 6, through a new charging architecture and Magnetic Fast Charger USB-C Cable.5

Apple Watch Series 7 is considered the most durable ever with a redesigned feature front crystal with a stronger and more robust geometry that is over 50 percent thicker than that of Apple Watch Series 6, making it more crack-resistant without compromising optical clarity.
