Mysterious find puzzles
Apple presented the new Apple Watch 7 days ago, but still not all the secrets of the previously unavailable smartwatch have been revealed. Now an unmentioned and rather mysterious “feature” comes to light. The question arises: What is this new wireless connection for?
Like every other manufacturer, Apple has to submit its devices to the American regulatory authority (FCC). This is what happened with the Apple Watch Series 7. As a result, we now learn: The new Smartwatch has an unknown and previously hidden from the public Radio module for the range of 60.5 GHz (Source: FCC via MacRumors).
Apple Watch 7 contains unknown radio module
It can be seen from the document that said module is equipped with a Magnetic Dock (model number A2687) works with USB-C portto transmit data wirelessly over the frequency spectrum of 60.5 GHz. Most likely with a speed of up to 480Mbps, so at USB 2.0 level. But what for?
The colleagues at MacRumors have an idea, most likely the “feature” is reserved for Apple employees. Possibly by means of the dock then the Apple Watch 7 reset or other diagnostic measures are taken. So far, the models of the Apple Watch have had a hidden connection for a cable connection for this purpose. The question arises: will the Apple Watch 7 still have this or does the radio module replace the port?
How does the Apple Watch 7 want to convince? in the Video let’s see the highlights:
Still no specific release date
We won’t find out until Apple finally sells the smartwatch. We were promised a market launch this fall. In terms of calendar, however, it also extends into late December. In this respect, Apple could theoretically leave some time with the introduction.
Of course we hope for an earlier release date, maybe in October. Apart from slightly larger screens with narrower bezels, the Apple Wach 7 has not changed too much by the way. The manufacturer still owed us the hoped-for new design and will probably only be shown with the Apple Watch 8 in autumn 2022, if at all.
