KGI Securities analyst drops hints as to upcoming features for Apple Watch Series 4

The rumor mill has begun to release some interesting specs about the fourth-gen Apple Watch.

Per a recently-released research not by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities, the Apple Watch Series 4 will launch in the third quarter of the year. The Series 4, he claims, will have a 15 percent larger display, longer battery life, and better health tracking.


The note doesn’t offer too many specifics as to how these upgrades will be achieved. For example, the 15 percent larger display may mean a larger Apple Watch case (for the first time since its debut), or it may simply mean less bezel area between the display and the edges of the case.

The report does mention a higher-capacity battery, which could be achieved via better battery quality or incorporating a larger battery into the unit. A more efficient S-series system-on-chip could provide longer battery life, too.

Kuo has yet to elaborate on what’s implied by “better health sensors,” so this is up in the air as well.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
