working on a unique Apple Watch to celebrate the device’s tenth anniversary. Although that special edition did not appear as the Apple Watch Series 10, some speculate it may debut alongside the Series 11. After all, Apple introduced the original Apple Watch in 2014, yet it didn’t reach retail until 2015.
While we anticipate what Apple has planned for this autumn, it appears the company is taking a significant step back with its forthcoming model. Leaked code discovered by MacRumors indicates that the S11 processor set to be included with the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch SE 3 will deliver the same performance as the S9 SiP launched with Apple Watch Series 9.
The article mentions that the processor will utilize the identical T8310 architecture of the prior two chips. This is favorable news for owners of the Apple Watch Series 9, 10, and Ultra 2; however, it also signifies that the company has no plans to enhance on-device capabilities for this device, such as fundamental Apple Intelligence features. The existing processor in the Apple Watch incorporates a 64-bit dual-core processor alongside a 4-core Neural Engine, which appears to remain unchanged.
