The Apple Watch Series 3, alternately known as the Apple Watch 3, is even more important now that the Apple Watches are selling more units than ever before. Prior to the launch of the Apple Watch 3’s, the juiciest gossip on the Internet right now is what, exactly, will be the features of the new smartwatch. In this article, we round up five of the most important features that we expect to see on this new device.
- LTE Connectivity Options: If rumours and news morsels are to be believed, the Apple Watch 3 will be the first entry into the Apple watch series to have LTE connectivity and will also be 4G enabled. As a report by Forbes points out, a noted semiconductor analyst pointed out,“We understand a model of the next Apple watch will include a SIM card, and therefore is likely to support LTE. We understand some issues remain, including battery life and form factor size, but significant progress has been made.”Other analysts, however, have stated that they do not believe that LTE connectivity is needed at this moment and the Apple Watch 3 may not have cellular connectivity as well.
- Smart band with Glucose Monitoring: That’s right. The Apple Watch 3, will, as this report points out, will have smart band support with glucose monitoring. The same report stated, and we quote,”Apple’s sights are now set on the epidemic of diabetes, and the company plans to introduce a game-changing glucose monitoring feature in an upcoming Apple Watch.”
- Micro-LED led Display Tech: If reports are to be believed, the new Apple Watch 3 will have a brilliant display wth micro LEDs lighting up with luminescence. From a glass panel to a glass film touch solution, Apple is said to be steadily experimenting with the display of the new smartwatch. Apple, remember, acquired micro-LED specialists LuxVue in 2014 and their technical know-how may be used here as well.
- Longer Battery Life: In several reports, it has been mentioned that the Apple Watch 3 will have much-boosted battery life, necessary in today’s connected environment. A report by Digitimes stated that Apple’s next-gen wearable will be manufactured by Quanta computer and will have superb battery backup as well.
- Apple Watch 3 Release Date: This report also suggests that the new watch will be released in the third quarter of this year and we are not betting on precedents on this one, as Apple smartwatches are not known to have shown a constant release date graph.
