How expensive will the Apple Watch Series 7 be? These are the expected prices

In a few weeks, Apple will present not only the iPhone 13 series, but also a new Apple Watch. Will the Series 7 be cheaper or more expensive than its predecessor? This is what we expect from the Apple Watch Series 7 prices.

Apple Watch Series 7 price: this is what we expect

It is almost inevitable that Apple will organize a virtual event next month. During this event, the company is likely to present several new products, such as the iPhone 13 and AirPods 3.

Fortunately, the Apple Watch is also getting attention this evening. We have now arrived at the Series 7. It is not yet known what the successor of the Apple Watch Series 6 will cost.

Based on rumors and Apple’s pricing strategy from previous years, we can make a good estimate. So here it is: this is what iPhoned expected from the Apple Watch Series 7 price.

Two models, two prices

Apple is an innovative company, but the Apple Watch pricing strategy is quite conservative. New smartwatches are generally about the same price as their predecessors.

This point is reinforced by the fact that most rumors say that the Apple Watch is going through an evolution, but not a revolution, this year. The Series 7 seems to have a fresh design (more in line with the iPhone 12 and 13) and better hardware, but we don’t expect huge changes.

Apple Watch 7 price

In short, there’s a good chance that Apple will charge about the same prices as the Series 6. So we think this means the following for the price of the Apple Watch Series 7:

• 40 millimeter model costs 428.25 euros
• 44 millimeter model costs 458.25 euros

Now we hear you thinking, “Why would Apple have such strange suggested retail prices?” The answer is actually quite simple: because the private copying levy has been increased since January 1, 2021 (by about 3.10 euros). Apple has immediately implemented this increase in the suggested retail price of all its products. We don’t think the company will pay this fee out of pocket with the Series 7.

A new type of Apple Watch may be released in the Netherlands this fall. Its own research shows that the company is working on bringing the 4G Apple Watch (with mobile internet, so) to our little country. Apple broke the news via a link on its own website.

Release date of Apple Watch Series 7

Well, we now know roughly what the price of the Apple Watch 7 will be. Then one question remains unanswered: when will the watch be released?

It is almost certain that Apple will organize an event in September. September 14 is mentioned as a possible date. If this rumor is true, the watch will go on pre-order on September 17. Those who act quickly can then have the watch at home from September 24, when the final release takes place.

We expect Apple to start sending out invitations in the coming weeks. Once these are out the door, we’ll know for sure when the Apple Watch Series 7 release will take place. Do you want to stay informed of all developments? Then sign up for the iPhoned newsletter, or download our free app.
