Thanks to a new last-minute leak from an anonymous X account, it now seems all but certain that Apple’s next generation Apple Watch SE will be launching in a number of days.Rumors for this new model have been faint, leading to some skepticism around whether or not it’s truly launching this year – but now things seem solid.This anonymous X account wishes to remain private, so we can’t directly link to the tweet – though the user has a highly accurate track record.
Late on Sunday, the account tweeted processor IDs and other model identifiers for the three upcoming Apple Watch models: Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3.The tweet would suggest that all three Apple Watches will use the same chipset, the upcoming Apple S11.That aligns with previous rumors.
As for what else will be coming to Apple Watch SE 3, your guess is as good as mine.Previous rumors have indicated the possibility of a plastic casing, though nothing is very solid.We also might see larger displays, in line with what Apple shipped with Apple Watch Series 7, Series 8, and Series 9.
We’ll be covering Apple’s ‘Awe dropping’ Apple event here on on Tuesday.We’ll be there in person, so look forward to iPhone 17 hands-ons and more in just a couple of days.For more Apple Event reading, check out our final rumor roundup.
