Apple has announced that it will hold a special “Far Out” event at 1 a.m. Beijing time on September 8. The event will still be held online and is expected to bring new products such as the iPhone 14 / Pro series, Apple Watch Series 8, and the launch of iOS 16.
According to ShrimpApplePro sources, the Apple Watch Series 8 will be available in a “new red color” and is expected to be released without delay.
In a tweet today, ShrimpApplePro said that the Apple Watch Series 8 will continue to be available in 41mm and 45mm case sizes, just like the Apple Watch Series 7. In a previous report on Apple Watch Series 8 color options, the tipster added that the device’s (PRODUCT) RED option will be “the new red.
Compared to Series 7, Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to offer a smaller number of color options. It may only be available in Midnight Black, Starlight, PRODUCT (RED) Red and Silver, with blue and green options no longer supported.
The Apple Watch Series 8 box is also said to feature the same design as the Apple Watch Series 7, but with more glue on the pull tab. The purpose of this change is to ensure that glue marks are left behind when the tabs are removed to more clearly confirm that the box has been opened. The adjusted packaging is also thought to apply to the iPhone 14 series. the contents of the Apple Watch Series 8 box are essentially the same as those of the Series 7.
Last year, Apple’s Apple Watch Series 7 was launched nearly a month after its release but suffered severe shipping delays, and ShrimpApplePro says the Apple Watch Series 8 is fully stocked, so there should be “virtually no shipping delays” at launch.
