The Apple Watch Series 8 will likely have a larger display

Tech giant Apple, poised to launch a line­up of new iPhone Watch­es in Sep­tem­ber, may unveil the Apple Watch Series 8 with a larg­er 1.99-inch display.

Last Octo­ber, ana­lyst Ross Young sug­gest­ed the Apple Watch Series 8 could come in three dis­play sizes, MacRu­mors reports.

Now, in response to a ques­tion on Twit­ter about the rumor, Young claims that the addi­tion­al dis­play size join­ing the Apple Watch line­up will be 1.99 inch­es diagonally.

Like­wise, in a note to investors seen by MacRu­mors, ana­lyst Jeff Pu men­tioned that Apple sup­pli­er Luxshare will be the “sole sup­pli­er” for a “high-end” 2‑inch Apple Watch mod­el this year .

Accord­ing to the report, it seems like­ly that Pu’s 1.99-inch dis­play size pre­sent­ed by Young was sim­ply round­ed up.

A 1.99-inch Apple Watch screen size is 1.691 inch­es for the 41mm Apple Watch Series 7 and 1.901 inch­es for the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7.

The new dis­play size would add 0.089 inch­es diag­o­nal­ly over the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7, an increase of near­ly 5 percent.

The slight­ly larg­er dis­play size could be relat­ed to the rumored flat-edged redesign for the Apple Watch Series 8.

Ear­li­er this year, the leak­er known as “Shrim­pAp­plePro,” who cor­rect­ly said that the Apple Watch Series 7 would fea­ture a round­ed design like the Apple Watch Series 6, claimed that Apple was work­ing on a “flat front glass dis­play” for the Apple Watch series 8th.

A recent report sug­gests that the upcom­ing Apple Watch should be able to detect a rise in body tem­per­a­ture and then prompt you to use a thermometer.

How­ev­er, the upcom­ing low­er-end Apple Watch SE will not have this health feature.
