Apple is expected to release an all-new Apple Watch SE 3 this year. As this entry-level smartwatch was originally expected to launch in 2024, we already know several rumored features that might arrive with this watch in the second half of 2025.<\/p>\n

Based on the previous leaks and the new ones regarding Apple Watch Series 11<\/a> and Apple Watch Ultra 3, here\u2019s what you can expect to arrive on this watch.<\/p>\n

Before Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, there was already a rumor that the next Apple Watch SE 3 would feature a larger display<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Display analyst Ross Young said in a post on X that Apple is slightly increasing the size of the Apple Watch SE 3<\/a> display to 41mm and 45mm. That makes sense, as the current display of the Apple Watch Series 6 is now 42mm and 46mm.<\/p>\n

\tBetter processor<\/p>\n

Apple Watch SE 3 will likely feature an S10 processor, as Apple is expected to unveil an all-new S11 chip. With a new processor, Apple could add the ability for Siri to access health info without connecting to the cloud, a function available with the Apple Watch Series 9<\/a> or newer devices.<\/p>\n

Due to the larger display, the Apple Watch SE 3 could look similar to the Apple Watch Series 9. At this moment, it\u2019s unclear if Apple will add Always-On technology to this device. Also, after rumors revealed that Apple was considering adding a plastic finish to this budget device, the company will stick with an aluminum finish.<\/p>\n

5G connectivity<\/p>\n

Apple is rumored to add a 5G chip to the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3<\/a>. With that in mind, the company could add it to the Apple Watch SE 3 as well, as it might want to expand this better connectivity to all of its new watch models.<\/p>\n

Health features\"on-deviceThe Apple Watch Ultra could be a good alternative, but that\u2019s a different story. Image source: Jos\u00e9 Adorno for BGR<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch SE lacks ECG, sleep apnea detection, and a temperature sensor. As the Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to feature blood pressure monitoring, Apple might be willing to add one of these features to its cheapest watch.<\/p>\n

Any of those features would be a huge upgrade for the user base, as they could add better workout insights and improved health-related features.<\/p>\n

watchOS 12<\/p>\n

Finally, the Apple Watch SE 3 will feature watchOS 12<\/a>. So far, there are rumors that Apple will add visionOS-like design changes in this new software. However, we have yet to see what else the company has in store for this update.<\/p>\n
