Apple Watch Series 3 Rumors: What We Know About the 2017 Wearable

Here's the latest Apple Watch Series 3 rumors.

Cupertino introduced the Apple Watch Series 2 in September 2016. Featuring an S2 processor, waterproofing up to 50 meters, and ceramic backing on all models, the current version has often been described as the one Apple should have released when the first Apple Watch went on sale in 2015.

Easy Does It

Things have mostly been quiet on the "Apple Watch Series 3" front so far this year with most of the attention having been centered on the "iPhone 8."

The Apple Watch Series 3 rumors we've heard suggest Cupertino plans on sticking with a similar design for the next Apple Watch. Instead of using a touch-on-lens screen, however, the Series 3 could offer a glass-film touchscreen.

As Brent Dirks noted in February:

TPK Holdings has supplied the touchscreens for the watch since the device hit the market in 2015. Starting with Series 2, Apple moved to touch-on-lens technology. But because of poor yield rates, the company is apparently bowing out for the next watch model.

In its place, Apple will reportedly rely on a glass-film solution from either General Interface Solution or Biel Crystal Manufactory. There's no word whether changing touchscreen technology will provide any noticeable benefits for users.

With no design changes, the Apple Watch Series 3 could focus on battery life and overall performance improvements. Once again Apple has turned to Quanta to get the job done. The Taiwan-based company was also responsible for the production of the first two Apple Watch generations.

Cupertino could also add cellular connectivity to the third-generation Apple Watch. A switch to a micro-LED display could also be in the offering. In May 2014, Apple acquired LuxVue Technology, which owned several patents on micro-LED technology.

MicroLED is a low-power display technology that features better color gamuts and brightness levels than LCD. It's also more battery efficient because it doesn't require a backlight, which could be great news for Apple Watch owners.

New Apple Watches should arrive in September with shipments beginning in October at the latest.
