Apple Watch Series 7 gets a 20% bigger display area

Apple doesn't tweak its new Watch Series 7 too much. But it gets a 20% bigger display area than its predecessor. The screen is as close to the rounded edges as possible. And it now has a more crack-resistant design and an IP6X rating.

Apple has tweaked its software to take advantage of the larger display. The company has included new watch faces, too. The Apple Watch gets slightly bigger sizes from 40mm to 41mm for the smaller size and 44mm to 45mm for the larger option.

Xiaomi's concept smart glasses have a MicroLED display

Xiaomi imagines what it wants smart glasses to look like with this new concept. The Xiaomi Smart Glasses feature a conventional glasses-like design. But, unlike the recently launched Facebook and Ray-Ban Stories, these get a display you can use for augmented reality features.
