According to analyst Ross Young, the 45mm won’t be the largest model available, as Apple plans to announce a larger version, measuring around 50mm – or 1.99 inches diagonally. This is not the first time the analyst has said that the new series could come in three screen sizes. For now, it’s unclear if Apple will offer 41mm, 45mm, and 50mm versions, or if it has anything to do with the new extreme sports version rumored to be announced a few months from now. According to MacRumors, analyst Jeff Pu also confirmed this report saying that Apple supplier Luxshare will be the “sole supplier” for a “high-end” 2-inch Apple Watch model. Yesterday, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that both the Apple Watch Series 8 and a new rugged version will feature body temperature detection. The Apple Watch SE 2, on the other hand, is unlikely to receive this feature. The body temperature feature won’t give you a specific reading — like with a forehead or wrist thermometer — but it should be able to tell if it thinks you have a fever. He or she might then recommend talking to your doctor or using a special thermometer. In the newsletter, the Bloomberg reporter said other hardware changes will “likely” be minor. As reported last week, the Apple Watch Series 8 is rumored to feature the same S6 chip found in the Apple Watch Series 6, making this the first Apple Watch to feature the same processor for the third year in a row. Last but not least, Gurman heard insider chatter about the updated displays on the new high-end models, which he hopes will be even brighter. Now, that could mean a bigger screen.
