Apple Watch Series 11: New Features, Tariffs, and Design Leaks Ahead of 2025 Launch
  • Apple is set to announce the Apple Watch Series 11 in September 2025, continuing its annual release pattern established since 2014.

  • However, the release date may be impacted by production issues and newly imposed tariffs, as is often the case shortly after the keynote.

  • The design of the Series 11 is expected to closely resemble that of the Series 10, featuring a large edge-to-edge screen with minor technological tweaks.

  • Apple aims to enhance battery life in the Series 11, as current models lag behind competitors, although faster charging has been introduced.

  • There are rumors that the Series 11 could feature a more energy-efficient LTPO display, which may be exclusive to the Ultra 3 model.

  • The Apple S11 chip is anticipated to power the Series 11 and Ultra 3, with the Ultra 3 rumored to support satellite connectivity and 5G.

  • In addition to the Series 11, updated versions of the Apple Watch Ultra and SE models are expected, following last year's absence of updates.

  • Blood pressure tracking has been rumored for the Series 11, although development challenges remain, while glucose monitoring is a future possibility.

  • Additionally, a patent has surfaced suggesting a foldable Apple Watch design with dual screens and cameras, though this innovation is unlikely to materialize soon.

  • The projected pricing for the Apple Watch Series 11 starts at $399 for the 42mm aluminum version, with tariffs potentially influencing final costs.

  • Speculation also includes the possibility of an in-screen camera for AI capabilities, although this feature is not expected until at least the 2027 models.

  • Meanwhile, the SE model may receive an upgrade to the S9 chip, further enhancing its capabilities.
