Apple Watch Series 8’s Rugged Edition Would Face Low Sale
According to Macrumors’ latest podcast episode with Ross Young, Apple might produce fewer units for the recently reported Apple’s upcoming rugged Watch. And the producing unit could be around 1 million or maybe less in the third quarter of this year.

As Gurman reported two days earlier, This Watch would be priced the same as iPhone 13 Pro, which means $999 US dollars. If these claims got valid in the future, this Watch model could be the highest-priced Watch from Apple. Additionally, The base model of the Apple Watch Series 8 could feature a temperature sensor and inherit the ability to detect the wearer’s fever. Recently, Apple has also released the watchOS 9 first public beta, showing some features regarding its low power mode.
