What's Next for Apple Watch? Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 Unveiled

What to Expect from the Next Apple Watch Releases in 2025

Apple Watch Series 11

• Design: Likely to retain the same shape and size as the Series 10, with potential new color options like sky blue and a shift to polished titanium cases.
• Connectivity: First model with 5G cellular connectivity, using Redcap technology for wearables.
• Features: Expected to have new features introduced with watchOS 12, including redesigned elements that match expected changes in iOS 19. Blood oxygen measurement might return if Apple resolves its patent dispute or uses new sensors.

Apple Watch Ultra 3

• Design: No major design changes expected, but could benefit from display improvements like continuous seconds updates on more watch faces and higher brightness at extreme viewing angles.
• Connectivity: Expected to include 5G and satellite connectivity, enhancing its utility in outdoor activities where cell service is unavailable.

Apple Watch SE 3

• Design: Likely to adopt the larger display size from the Series 8, similar to previous generations.
• Features: Expected to be light on features compared to the flagship models. The switch from LTE to 5G might not be guaranteed.

These new releases are set to mark the beginning of the next decade for the Apple Watch, which turned 10 in April 2025.
