The unannounced Apple Watch Series 7 has production problems, as the redesigned design turns out to be more challenging than Apple thought. It is not known exactly what consequences this will have for the smart watch.

Production issues Apple Watch Series 7
The Apple Watch Series 7 has production issues. That reports Nikkei Asia about the as yet unannounced smartwatch. According to the source, Apple started small-scale production of the watch last week. The company encountered critical challenges during the manufacturing process.
The production problems arose due to the complexity of the design, which differs significantly from previous models. Think of the Apple Watch Series 6. According to several rumors, the Apple Watch Series 7 will have a flatter, more angular design and thinner screen edges. There are also likely to be new complicated health sensors on board, such as a blood pressure monitor.
Production of the new watch is said to have been temporarily halted, because Apple and its suppliers want to solve the problems first. In addition, the new design needs further certification before the smartwatch goes into mass production, the source said.
Release date will probably stay the same
Apple may choose to release the new Apple Watch a few weeks later to allow enough time to resolve the issues. Nikkei says nothing about this, however. There is therefore a good chance that the new watch will also be in the shops at the end of September, as we are used to from Apple.
The Apple Watch Series 7 promises to be a major upgrade – and we won’t have long to wait for it. Apple is likely to announce the new watch along with the iPhone 13 at an event in September. This event is expected to take place on September 14, after which the Series 7 (and all other new Apple products) will go on sale a few days later.
