A new series of Apple watches is expected to join the iPhone 17 series next month at the World Apple launch event. A new leak indicates that the Watch Series 11 and the Watch Ultra 3 will be equipped with the same tired chipset as the previous models.
Apple should mainly focus on the iPhone 17 series at its next launch event in September. Among the four expected iPhones, it is the iPhone 17 Air which should arouse the most attention thanks to its ultramance box. However, the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 should also be present, as is the Watch Series 10 and Watch Ultra 2 (currently $ 649.99 on Amazon) were present at last year’s event.
According to MacRumorscuine of the next Apple smartwatches will not benefit from major improvements in terms of performance or battery life. Citing internal sources, the website says that the two models are equipped with a processor whose code name is “T8310”. Although this name reveals nothing in itself, Apple uses the same identifier for its S9 and S10.
In other words, the conclusions of Macrumorsind that Apple will change the name of its SOC for SmartWatch for the third consecutive year. The company also proceeded in the same way for the Apple S6, S7 and S8 models. Likewise, Series 11 and Ultra 3 would keep 64 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM as old models, as well as Bluetooth 5.3, U1 UWB and Wi-Fi 4 connectivity.
