  • Is an Apple Watch SE in the works for 2025? Or is that wishful thinking?
  • Limited info available, but here’s what the rumors are saying about the next Apple Watch.

Apple enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the next iteration of the company’s flagship wearable. Building on the success of the Apple Watch Series 10, the Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to debut in late 2025, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 17.


Key Features and Upgrades

MicroLED Display Technology

A significant highlight for the Series 11 is the potential integration of MicroLED display technology. According to an analyst report from April 2023, Apple plans to incorporate MicroLED in a 2025 release. This advancement promises higher pixel density and brighter images compared to the current OLED screens. While the Apple Watch Ultra already utilizes OLED, the transition to MicroLED could mark a substantial upgrade in display quality.

“The MicroLED display could offer the same localized dimming and contrast as an OLED screen, but with higher resolutions and brighter images,” the report detailed. However, there are concerns about possible delays, as some projects related to MicroLED have reportedly been canceled. If true, this could postpone the technology’s debut to the Apple Watch Series 12.

Enhanced Health Monitoring

Apple continues to expand the health-tracking capabilities of its watches. The Series 11 is rumored to include advanced sensors for heart rate and ECG, maintaining Apple’s commitment to user health. Additionally, speculation suggests the introduction of blood pressure monitoring. While these readings may not provide medical diagnoses, they could signal trends warranting a medical consultation.

Looking further ahead, non-invasive blood-glucose tracking remains a coveted feature in wearable technology. Although Apple is reportedly developing this technology, it is not expected to be ready for the Series 11 launch.

Apple Intelligence Integration

Following the official unveiling of Apple Intelligence at WWDC 2024, the Apple Watch Series 11 is poised to harness this cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, with a chip that has enough power to make the most of it. Announced on June 10, 2024, Apple Intelligence is a blend of on-device and server processing, enhancing user interactions across iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, but not on the Apple Watch yet.

Design and Pricing

Minimal Design Changes

Apple Watch Series 11 is anticipated to feature only subtle design modifications. Previous models have seen size adjustments and bezel reductions, but the overall aesthetic remains largely consistent. Industry insiders speculate that the Series 11 may mark this years 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch with a special edition, potentially offering magnetic band attachments and a slimmer profile.

Consistent Pricing Structure

Apple typically maintains stable pricing across its core product lines. The Series 11 is expected to follow suit, aligning its price with that of the Apple Watch Series 10. The official unveiling is likely to occur during Apple’s annual September event, where details about the Series 11 will be confirmed.

Apple Watch SE Series Rumors

Parallel to the Series 11, there have been whispers suggesting Apple may introduce an Apple Watch SE model, or series, in 2025. Modeled after the iPhone SE, this variant is expected to feature a new design with cost-effective materials, potentially offering different casing options and color choices. The SE series would likely streamline certain features to reduce manufacturing costs, catering to a broader audience seeking a more affordable smartwatch option.

Market Sentiment and Future Outlook

“I find it frustrating that we’ve now gone through two rounds of major Apple Watch redesign rumors that didn’t come to fruition,” a technology analyst commented. Despite aesthetic improvements over the years, the fundamental design and user interaction with the Apple Watch have seen limited evolution. The absence of significant changes, such as the anticipated double-tap gesture, has left some users yearning for more innovation.

Nevertheless, optimism remains. The Apple Watch’s journey since its announcement in September 2014 has been marked by steady enhancements.The Apple Watch Series 10 in gold.Photo via Apple Inc. // The Apple Watch Series 10 in gold.

Conclusion

While details about Apple Watch Series 11 are still emerging, the promise of advanced display technology and enhanced health features signals Apple’s continued dedication to innovation in wearable technology. Whether the Series 11 will meet the high expectations set by its predecessors remains to be seen, but Apple’s track record suggests that the next generation of Apple Watch will continue to set industry standards.
