Apple has announced the Apple Watch Series 7 smartwatch at its ‘California Streaming’ event today. The newer-generation Apple Watch comes with a 20% bigger screen in the same size when compared to its predecessor, thanks to slimmer bezels around the display. The Apple Watch Series 7 frame is now just 1.7mm thick. It retains the core design of the Watch Series 6, putting rest to the rumours of a new boxy design. The Watch Series 7 comes in 41 mm and 45 mm case sizes. However, the company has designed the watches in such a way that they are compatible with existing bands.
