Degrowth: will Apple also do it for the planet?

  • Apple is considering releasing Apple Watches less often
  • This could make it possible to better distinguish the ranges
  • Apple Watch Series 9 release unlikely to be disrupted

According to new information from the journalist ofBloombergMark Gurman, specialist at the Apple firm, Apple is considering limiting the pace of release of its connected watches. It would therefore be a question of no longer revealing a new Watch every year. However, discussions on this subject, which obviously only take place internally, have not yet been concluded. Understand that no discussions would have taken place at this time.

Of course, this information should be taken with a grain of salt. But our source of the day is generally correct. Furthermore, we know that Cupertino is considering moving to zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. However, the arrival of new electronic products on the market may compromise this objective. Indeed, this inevitably generates waste, even if Apple has made efforts to limit the quantity of plastic in its packaging.

Room for real updates

If this change is actually validated by the leaders of the firm with a capitalization of three trillion dollars, then this could also allow the different versions of the Apple Watch to sell better. And this is thanks to serious differences under the hood, compared to previous generations. Enough to compensate for the frequency of marketing, therefore. In any case, on paper: it remains to be seen what such a scheme would produce in real conditions.

Among the new features that could arrive on Apple Watch shortly, it is rumored that magnetic bracelets would be on the menu. The Apple Watch Series 8, for its part, brought the thermometer to the range, when the blood oximeter arrived with theSeries 6. It also has a barometer, to measure air pressure in real time, as well as a compass or even an altimeter.

Series 9: see you in September

Despite these discussions, we should still note that the release of the Apple Watch Series 9 would not be compromised. This device should see the light of day no later than the coming September, perhaps even the 12th to be precise. It is in fact on this date that a keynote would be planned, where we could also find out more about the potentialiPhone 15 et iPhone 15 Pro.

The Apple Watch Series 9 should feature a more powerful processor, but that's about it. So, no larger screen on the menu, nor a makeover, according to the most recent rumors.
