Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ Event on September 9: Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 Rumored to Arrive

Apple is officially set to unveil its power-packed iPhone 17 lineup along with other products on September 9. While the centre attraction would be on the iPhone 17 series, but all eyes are on the Apple Watch lineup. The tech giant is rumored to refresh its smartwatch family with not one but three new models, including Apple Watch Series 11, the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE 3.

Let’s Check Out What We Know About Apple Smartwatches

Apple Watch Ultra 3

Starting from Apple Watch Ultra 3, the Ultra series has always been about pushing its limits, and that’s the reason reports suggest that Apple could add satellite connectivity in its upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 3. This will allow users to send emergency messages without a phone. The tech giant is also tipped to add 5G support, making the navigation, calls, and music streaming even more smooth.

While its design may stick close to the Ultra 2, a new chipset and advanced health tracking like blood pressure monitoring might make this the most powerful Apple Watch yet.

Apple Watch Series 11:

Talking about the Apple Watch Series 11, it is expected to be Apple’s mainline smartwatch in the launch event. After last year’s big redesign in the Series 10, the company is expected to reinvent the performance-focused upgrade with a new chipset and software features from watchOS 26. For example, Apple could add an AI-powered Workout Buddy in Apple Watch Series 11.

Rumors also hint at possible blood pressure detection, a feature fitness fans have been waiting for.

Apple Watch SE 3:

Apple might add a third and budget-friendly option for buyers who want an Apple watch without spending big. The Apple Watch SE 3 is reported to be powered by the latest watchOS 26. Additionally, it may borrow the look of the Series 9, however, keeping the cost low.

Expected Pricing and Availability

While Apple rarely reveals pricing before the big day, analysts expect the Series 11 to start around $399 (Rs 42,000 in India), the Ultra 3 to stay near $799 (Rs 82,000 in India), and the SE 3 to be the most affordable at $250 (Rs 25,000 in India).

What to Expect from Apple’s September 9 Event

Will the Apple Watch Ultra 3 have satellite connectivity?
Yes, leaks suggest emergency satellite messaging could be one of its headline features.

Is Apple Watch Series 11 getting a new design?
Not likely. It should look similar to Series 10, but it will get performance upgrades.

What’s the difference between SE 3 and Series 11?
The SE 3 will be cheaper and won’t have the latest screen tech, but it will run the same watchOS 26 software as the Series 11.
