According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch 7 will be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, not the first time this Apple-savvy reporter has hinted at this change, perhaps hinting at the company's desire to make the Apple Watch less of a bridge to the iPhone and more of a standalone device. This is not the first time this change has been hinted at by this Apple-savvy reporter.

According to Garman, this year's Apple Watch will focus more on a new look than on features. It will have a "flatter display and edges, a faster processor, and a slightly larger screen," Garman wrote in the latest issue of his newsletter, Power On.

"We're hearing that Apple will bundle several new watch faces to take advantage of the larger screen, including an updated Infograph Modular face," he added, this after the Apple Watch 4 shrunk the bezel in 2017, He noted that this would be the second increase in screen size in the history of wearables.

Garman reiterated Apple's intention to create a flatter, more angular design, as seen in the iPhone 12 and the 2021 iPad Pro. One can get a rough idea of what this will look like from the latest $60 imitations emerging from China.

But those still clinging to hopes for a major upgrade in health sensors will likely be disappointed. Garman states, "I don't expect any major health upgrades until at least next year, when we may see a temperature sensor." Considering that we were expecting game-changing things like blood sugar monitoring from the 2022 Apple Watch, that feels a bit lackluster, but there is still plenty of time for more features to appear.

Away from the Apple Watch, Garman's newsletter covers some interesting corporate gossip about Apple. Tim Cook has passed his 10th anniversary as Apple CEO, but is unlikely to extend his tenure beyond 2025, Garman says. Cook seems set to stay on for "one more major new product category" before cutting Apple's cord at some point between 2025 and 2028.

Given Cook's long-held belief that augmented reality is "the next big thing," it seems appropriate that that product category be the rumored Apple Glasses, rather than something like the Apple Car, which, as Garman notes, is quite far off.

The success or failure of this product will directly impact the work of whoever succeeds Cook. Of Apple's current management team, Garman believes that four are particularly strong candidates: Greg Jozwiak, Deidre O'Brien, John Tarnas, and Jeff Williams. However, since a possible retirement is still some way off, Garman notes that this list "could change quickly."
