SoC in Apple Watch Series 8 is equivalent to SoC in Apple Watch Series 6

Bloomberg editor Mark Gurman spoke about the new Apple Watch that Apple will release later this year, including the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2.

There have been reports earlier that Apple will add a faster Apple S8 SoC to the Apple Watch Series 8, but Gurman claims that "the Apple S8 will have the same specs as the Apple S7." At the same time, the Apple S7 in terms of characteristics is almost a copy of the Apple S6 in the Apple Watch Series 6 of the 2020 model.

Mark Gurman added that next year's Apple Watch Series 9 will feature a "completely new processor." As for the Apple Watch SE 2, it will get the same screen as the Apple Watch SE, as well as the Apple S8 SoC, which will be faster than the Apple S5 SoC found in the Apple Watch SE.

watchOS 9 is ending support for the Apple Watch Series 3, so I'd eventually expect that model to be discontinued in the fall. The Apple Watch SE will remain a mid-range option.

He previously said that the Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to feature at least one new body temperature sensor.
