News & Reviews:   Apple Watch Series 7

Should Apple be sticking to its usual hardware release cycle for its wearables, the Apple Watch will be refreshed for its 8th iteration later this year. Well, according to a new insight, the Apple Watch Series 8 may be getting a new software feature that is unique to the new hardware: Low Power Mode.

Reliable tipster on everything Apple, Mark Gurman yesterday revealed that the tech giant is currently facing issues of inaccurate readings with its blood pressure monitoring technology. Gurman elaborated that Apple had planned to put the feature inside the upcoming Apple Watch, but the issue means that it has to be postponed.

Hence, the highly anticipated health feature will be absent from the Apple Watch Series 8 this September, or even in the Series 9. According to Gurman, the technology may only be ready in 2024 ‘at the earliest’.

Besides having a larger display, one of the most stand out features of the Apple Watch Series 7 has got to be its fast charging capabilities compared to its predecessors. However, it seems that the latest watchOS update has levelled the playing field, as many users are reporting that the feature is now broken on the Apple Watch Series 7.

The update, watchOS 8.5 was released by Apple last week. It came with several features to the Apple Watch, including 37 new emojis, ability to authorise Apple TV purchases subscriptions, updates to irregular rhythm notifications and more.

Are you looking to get the new Apple Watch Series 7? You should know that the company will start shipping those to Malaysia next month, so it's great that Apple would have fixed existing issues before you get it. That's what the latest watchOS update is for.

Just two days after the launch of the new Apple iPad and iPad mini, the Apple Watch Series 7 is now available for purchase in Malaysia. Depending on what kind of watch size, material or strap you're getting, the starting price is RM1749 and can go all the way up to RM3399.

Last month, Apple launched the Watch Series 7 during its annual event. For Apple users in Malaysia, the smartwatch might not be available for some time due to production delays. However, you can get a glimpse of the actual smartwatch in advance.

Other than the iPad and the iPad mini, Apple also unveiled the Apple Watch Series 7, which comes with various new features ranging from IP6X rating, new colours, as well as a new design starting from the price of 399USD (~RM1660). Unfortunately, there is no official information regarding the exact release date and local pricing for now so do periodically check Apple’s official website for more information.

Apple's big event is just around the corner, and we'll soon get the new iPhone 13 series and Watch Series 7. The company has done well to prevent leaks, so not much of its new devices are known yet. However, we do have new info about the new Watch Series 7.

Last month, it was rumoured that the Apple Watch Series 7 could come with some new sensors. We even have renders of what should be a major redesign, which suggests that new hardware is possible. However, that may not be the case after all.

Back in November 2020, it was rumoured that Apple would give its next smartwatch a redesign. It seems that the rumour could be accurate, as there's a new leak that has revealed the Watch Series 7. Let's take a look at what's changed.
