concerns Apple products, the Apple Watch Series 4 should offer a
new designwith abigger screen, a

health.
Ming-Chi Kuo expects Apple to unveil an Apple Watch Series 4 at
course ofthird quarter of 2018, which would offer a
15% larger screenand probably without an increase in
size of the case thanks in particular to thinner edges.
It must be said that the first Apple Watch was bornthere are 3
ans, so it is entirely possible that Apple will unveil a new
design for its connected watch this year, however it would be more of a
design evolutionthan a radical change.
The analyst also suggests that the next generation of Apple Watch
could integratenew health sensorsWho
would be added to the heart rate monitor to offer better monitoring
of the user's health, or it could be an improvement in
existing sensors.
We know that Apple is working in secret on a project initiated by Steve Jobs,
which would allow diabetics to measure their blood sugar levels non-invasively
or the concentration of glucose in the blood thanks toa new
sensor typein the Apple Watch, if it happens in the next Apple
Watch, that would be excellent news.
Ming-Chi Kuo also mentions abetter autonomy
for the next Apple Watch without suggesting a battery with a
greater capacity, allowing us to imagine less energy-consuming components, but
also optimizations at the watchOS level.
The analyst concludes this report with sales predictions of around
22 to 24 million units sold for 2018, or a
30% increase over last year, and he expects this
This figure will reach 50 million units in the coming years.
If Apple Watch follows its usual schedule, the Apple Watch Series 4 should
be revealed at the same time as the next three iPhones on the occasion of
back-to-school keynote in September.
