The Apple Watch Pro is also rumored to have a bigger battery than the regular model to allow users to track workouts for a longer period of time and it may feature a rugged metal casing. The display could be shatter-resistant.
Gurman also says that the Pro could be “a good bit bigger than the standard Apple Watch” and “might only appeal to a subset of customers”. That would be a bummer for those with petite hands and even those who are not a fan of chunky watches.
The watch is unlikely to have the rumored flat sides that some insiders had expected to debut last year. The Pro model is likely to feature a high-end titanium material to make it durable.
Apple, being Apple, will reportedly charge a jaw-dropping amount of money for the Watch Pro. According to an earlier report, it will be more expensive than the current standard stainless steel variant and could start at around $900 or $999.
Apple will presumably announce the Watch Pro, Watch 8, and a budget SE model in September alongside the iPhone 14.
