Apple Watch Series 4 the Best Rumored Features

Refreshed design, bigger display

The Apple Watch Series 4 is heavily rumored to feature a 15 percent bigger screen than previous models. It's not clear yet whether this means the case will remain the same, with thinner bezels to all around to facilitate for the larger screen, or a bigger overall size for the Series 4. All previous generations of the Apple Watch have been available in 38mm and 42mm case sizes, so that's likely not going to change, but considering the rumors about a bigger battery, the Series 4 may be a tad thicker than previous models. That said, previous Apple Watch models have had quite the thick frame around their displays, so if Apple manages to slim it down a bit, we're likely not looking at a device that will be noticeably bigger than its predecessors.

According to reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple Watch Series 4 models will have the following screen sizes: 1.57-inches for the 38mm version and 1.78-inches for the 42mm model. For comparison, the current Apple Watch Series 3 is offered in 1.31-inch and 1.54-inch models. These changes are, whoever, not expected to affect the overall size of the device. After all, Apple is a stickler for compact form factors, so a bulky Watch is pretty much out of the question.

Again according to Kuo, Apple's next smartwatch will also have a "more trendy form factor design," which is an interesting tidbit of info that can certainly ignite the imagination, but it's not exactly clear what that means. We're definitely not expecting Apple to come out with a round watch design at this point, but the Series 4 may feature subtle design refinements that will make it stand out from previous models.
