After a short break, our regular roundup of speculation about Apple will once again talk about the new generation Apple Watch. This time it will be about the Apple Watch Series 8 and the fact that this model could finally see a long-speculated change in terms of design. In the second part of today's summary, we will talk about the possible waterproofing of future iPhones.

Apple Watch Series 8 design change

In the course of the past week, interesting news appeared on the Internet, according to which the Apple Watch Series 8 could actually receive quite significant changes in terms of design. The well-known leaker Jon Prosser in one of his latest videos on the YouTube platform in connection with this year's generation of smart watches from Apple said that they could see, for example, a flat display and significantly sharper edges. In addition to Prosser, other leakers also agree on the theory about this design. Apple Watch Series 8 in the new design should have a glass front and should also be slightly more durable compared to previous models.

In the end, the expected significant changes did not occur in the design of the Apple Watch Series 7:

Is a waterproof iPhone coming?

Smartphones from Apple received at least partial water resistance relatively late. But now it looks like we might be able to see a waterproof, more durable iPhone in the future. This is evidenced by recently discovered patents that Apple has registered. Smartphones are, for understandable reasons, exposed to a number of risks during their use. In connection with this, it is stated in the mentioned patent, for example, that mobile devices have recently been designed in such a way that they are more and more robust - and this is exactly the direction that Apple probably intends to go in the future.

However, sealing the iPhone as much as possible also has its own risks, which are primarily associated with the difference between the outside pressure and the pressure inside the device. Apple wants these risks - judging by the information contained in the aforementioned. patent – ​​to achieve by implementing a pressure sensor. The moment any complication in this direction is detected, the tightness of the device should automatically be released and thus the pressure equalized. The mentioned patent therefore suggests, among other things, that one of the next generations of iPhones could finally offer even higher water resistance, or even waterproof. The question, however, is whether the patent will actually be put into practice, and if the waterproof iPhone really sees the light of day, whether the warranty will also cover the potential impact of water.
