The Apple Watch vii cost is one of the bigger production mysteries ahead of the Apple Outcome taking place on September xiv. Footling intel concerning the toll of Apple tree's next smartwatch has surfaced in the months nosotros've tracked rumors and leaks all around the internet.

Still, we can make some educated near the Apple Lookout vii toll based on the smartwatch's history. The Apple Lookout 4 and every generation since has started at $399 for the 40mm size pick without LTE (Cellular) connectivity.

Apple Watch 7 vs. Apple Lookout man 6: What will be different?

The 44mm versions have started at $429, while all LTE-equipped models cost $100 more for both sizes. So if you bought a Apple tree Watch 6 with Cellular at full retail, you spent every bit much $529. Hopefully, y'all found a discount with one of the all-time Apple tree Watch deals, though.

The Apple Lookout SE is the only difference from this price structure. Apple's first truthful midrange smartwatch (and the best Apple Sentinel for those on a budget) starts at $279. That's still more than than the entry-level Samsung Galaxy Watch four, simply a bargain for iOS users who don't mind compromising on certain features.

Better yet, the Apple Watch SE comes in an LTE version for only $l more than the non-LTE version. Samsung set the same premium for its entire Galaxy Spotter lineup a few years ago, but Apple has upheld a higher fee for letting its flagship work free from an iPhone.

If anything most the Apple Watch 7 cost is dissimilar compared to past years, I think it'll be the added cost for LTE. I tin't see a reason the Apple Watch 7's LTE add-on can't be the same cost as the Apple tree Scout SE'south.

Non simply would information technology exist a smart motility in terms of contest, it would probably convince more shoppers to splurge on LTE and hook their Apple tree Watch up to a wireless provider. And so, for about $ten per month, they can make calls, send texts and speak to Siri untethered from their iPhone.

Will production snags impact Apple Watch vii cost?

Though I'm fairly confident the Apple Watch 7 won't run into a cost increment, news from the production line suggests the new smartwatch's design changes have complicated availability.

Co-ordinate to Bloomberg, the Apple Sentinel vii is "suffering production snags" due to the rumored, flat-edged redesign. Information technology is besides believed Apple is altering the Apple Sentinel's screen sizes — only the 2nd time it's done so, growing its smartwatch from 40 and 44mm to 41 and 45mm options.

Every bit a effect, in that location might be less Apple tree Scout 7 supply at launch than meets demand. It seems most likely the new Apple Watch would start shipping once manufacturing catches upward, but it could still be difficult to get the company's latest wrist processed compared to past launches.

Volition that gene into cost? My gut says no, though information technology's non long now until we find out. If all goes according to plan, the Apple Sentry 7 price volition be revealed next Tuesday at the Apple event, and we'll exist here to bring you all the details equally they're appear.
