Apple Watch Pro provided with dedicated keys for workouts. The advances on Apple Watch Pro continue accompanied by the publication of images of the alleged protective houses for the smartwatch: all provide common clues, including the presence of holes probably dedicated to buttons or extra keys for training.
5 new features AirPods Pro 2. Headphones will be more comfortable
It is no mystery that the Apple Watch Pro model will be dedicated to athletes and hikers. So, in addition to presenting a new titanium frame design with a larger screen, it could also offer new buttons dedicated to workouts.
Thus, anyone wearing the Apple Watch Pro could benefit from physical buttons for training control. This is because athletes usually prefer such control buttons, rather than on-screen taps, which offer less precision. Also because, the physical keys could be more responsive in particular atmospheric conditions, in the rain for example.
Note that the digital crown cutouts and the side button cutouts on the right side of the screen also suggest these buttons will be more protruding than other Apple Watch models. Furthermore, these images of the alleged cover of the new smartwatch also suggest that the screen will be flatter than previous and current models.
Apple Watch Pro is likely to cost significantly more than Apple Watch Series 8, which is expected to retain the same chassis design as the current Series 7. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman suggests the new Pro smartwatch could be priced at least 900 or $ 1,000. The Apple presentation will be on Wednesday 7 September: iPhone 14 (standard and Pro models), Apple Watch 8 and Pro smartwatches and also AirPods Pro 2 are expected.
