We’re about due for a redesigned Apple Watch, but it may not be the rumored flat design we were expecting. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch “Pro” version that’s expected to be announced later this year will have a new look. Gurman says — in his PowerOn newsletter — that the new design will be “an evolution of the currently rectangular shape and not circular,” but also that it won’t have “those rumored flat sides.”
Gurman is referencing the rumored Apple Watch redesign that first surfaced in May. Leaker, ShrimpApplePro, started off the rumor mill after tweeting that the Apple Watch Series 8 could have a completely flat front glass and flat edges. Shortly after, another industry leaker Jon Prosser worked with Ian Zelbo to put out some renders based on the rumors.
