Hello, this is TechnologyTodayNow. The iPhone 16 will be unveiled in about a week, and with it comes increased interest in the Apple Watch SE 3, which is expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 16. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the Apple Watch SE 3 model.
Apple Watch SE 3 design, expected specs, and price
Apple Watch SE 3 design and specifications
The Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to adopt a new display and case based on the design of the Apple Watch 8. It will likely feature the latest S9 chipset, and even with these upgrades, it is expected to be priced at a reasonable $249. This price accessibility translates to Apple’s strategy to provide a product that can be used by every member of the family.
The design of the Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to be larger than its predecessor. While previous SE models were 40mm and 44mm, the new model is expected to be larger at 41mm and 45mm. It’s also rumored to switch from aluminum to plastic, which is expected to lower the price and offer more case color options.
Apple Watch SE 3 key features and performance improvements
The Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to have new features compared to its predecessor. Most notably, it will likely include an ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor, which many users have been waiting for. It’s also expected to be powered by the latest S9 chipset, which will improve performance, allowing for better activity tracking, exercise measurement, and collision and fall detection. In addition, Siri features combined with Apple Intelligence are also expected to improve significantly, and the Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to offer these features at the most affordable price.
Apple Watch SE 3 battery and charging performance
The Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to have a battery life of 18-20 hours, similar to the previous model. The battery is expected to have a capacity of between 245mAh and 230mAh, and it will also support fast charging, which means it can be charged to 80% in 45 minutes. It may be a shame, but I don’t think there will be any problems with daily use.
Release date and pricing outlook
The Apple Watch SE 3 is expected to be announced at the Apple event on September 9, and pre-orders are expected to begin immediately after the announcement. Given that the first generation SE was previously released in 2020 and the second generation in 2022, it is expected to be released this year in 2024, continuing the two-year release cycle, and will likely be unveiled alongside the iPhone 16 at the Apple event on September 9th. The price is expected to be $249, and we can expect a lower price due to the 3D printed case manufacturing.
Conclusion
So far, we’ve covered the Apple Watch SE 3’s design, performance, price, and more. It’s a smartwatch with a lot to live up to. The Apple Watch SE 3 brings essential features like activity tracking, exercise measurement, bump and fall detection, family settings, and more to the table with the latest chipset, and it’s expected to improve performance, so if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, the Apple Watch SE 3 is worth checking out.
