The Apple Watch Series 8 may be as disappointing as the current-generation Apple Watch Series 7, with fresh information claiming that the new wearable will sport the same chip from two generations but with a different name.

Irrespective of the countless reports that have come through, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman mentions in his Power On newsletter that the Apple Watch Series 8 will not see a chip upgrade. The new SoC will be called the S8, but apart from a different name, it will maintain the properties of the old one found in the Series 7 and Series 6. When the Apple Watch Series 7 launched a while back, we reported that it houses the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 6.
