With hundreds of media outlets on its tail before each keynote, Apple has developed a solid confidentiality strategy to keep its announcements secret. Its next connected watch, which will probably be titled Series 7, remains far from the cameras and only a few rumors that are difficult to verify attempt to tell us more about it.
The very first generation of the tocante, on the other hand, is already quite far from us since it was released in April... 2015. And in fact, photos of an anticipated model and probably never marketed have just been published on Twitter, by the now well-known account @AppleDemoYT.The latter had already posted similar photos online a few months earlier.
Prototype Apple Watches (38mm and 42mm) with Security Cases side by side. These cases where made to conceal the design of the Apple Watch 1st Generation during transport out of lockdown. Here is the never before seen 38mm version! Gotta love the brick phone design!#appleinternal pic.twitter.com/eo7IUUNVba

Hidden design
As we can see in the images in question, the case of this prototype seems really different from the general public version which will be launched during the keynote making the device official. This is explained, according to the source, by the addition of an additional protective shell. Not to avoid impacts or scratches, but rather so as not to identify the contours of the accessory, like the man in the iron mask.
The story does not say how the Internet user who originated this information managed to obtain it, but it is very likely that Apple is far from happy about it. We know that the company uses multiple tricks to secure its concepts as much as possible, even going so far as to mislead ill-intentioned employees in order to better unmask them.A system that seems to have borne fruit during the development of iOS 15.
Rarities that are sold for at a high price
If this edition of the first Apple Watch of the name does not seem to be for sale at the moment, it nevertheless happens that such nuggets find themselves propelled to the top of the list of round transactions motivated by the most passionate, whether direct or auction. Some are sometimes willing to spend the equivalent of several thousand euros to complete their shelves. In another register,an iPhone with a printing defect on the side of its logo, for example, recently found a buyer for more than 2,000 euros.
