### Apple Watch SE 3: Anticipations
Apple is set to reveal a new iteration of its well-liked smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE, at the forthcoming Awe Dropping event. While numerous individuals have labeled this gadget as the Apple Watch SE 3, the formal designation remains ambiguous.
#### Rumor Overview
The expected Apple Watch SE 3 is predicted to be a minor update of its predecessor. Noteworthy enhancements comprise the addition of a new S11 chipset, which is said to offer moderate boosts in performance. The existing Apple Watch SE runs on the S8 chip, which employs cores from the A13 Bionic chip. In comparison, the S11 is rumored to utilize the same CPU as the S9 and S10 chips, indicating it will leverage cores from the more sophisticated A16 Bionic chip.
Alongside the chipset enhancement, the Apple Watch SE 3 may present new display dimensions, possibly around 1.6 inches and 1.8 inches for its two variants. This change could suggest a move away from the design language established with the Apple Watch Series 4, becoming more aligned with the visual style of the Apple Watch Series 7. Nonetheless, this remains conjectural, particularly as Apple has recently rolled out a new design language with the Apple Watch Series 10.
There are also speculations that Apple could opt for a plastic casing for the upcoming SE model. If accurate, this may result in a lower price point for consumers.
#### Is ‘SE’ Branding in Jeopardy?
The future of the ‘SE’ branding is uncertain, especially in light of Apple’s recent choice to remove the SE terminology from its iPhone range. It appears likely that a similar tactic could be adopted for the Apple Watch. The initial Apple Watch SE had an earlier chipset compared to the premium Apple Watch Series 6, but the current models are now fitted with the same chipset, a trend anticipated to persist with the Series 11.
Moving from the Apple Watch SE to the Apple Watch Series 11e would correspond with Apple’s overall strategy to streamline its product naming systems, particularly as the company transitions all its operating systems to version 26 this year. While it may also be possible for the Apple Watch Ultra to experience a similar renaming, that seems less probable.
As the event nears, speculation continues to circulate regarding the likely changes and enhancements. Will the ‘Apple Watch SE’ label be discontinued? Only time will reveal the answer.
