Out of all of Apple’s 15+ planned product launches for the rest of the year, one product that’s seemed more tentative than the rest is a new Apple Watch SE 3. But a supply chain spotting by display analyst Ross Young seems to confirm a new model is coming, possibly in two new sizes.
Apple Watch SE 3 will seemingly come with larger displays
DSCC’s Ross Young is a reliable supply chain analyst whose specialty is in display leaks.
Today Young shared a subscribers-only post on X concerning an Apple Watch SE 3 spotting.
Per Young, there are two new Apple Watch SE 3 displays that have just entered production.
He estimates the displays as being around 1.6” and 1.8” each.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t share official screen measurements for its Apple Watch models. All publicized measurements refer only to the Apple Watch casing, which is close to the display size but slightly different.
The two new SE sizes, however, do seem closest perhaps to the Apple Watch Series 9’s 41mm and 45mm sizes.
Currently, the Apple Watch SE comes in 40mm and 44mm.
It seems that the new SE model will get small display size boosts, while still being smaller than the Series 10 and Ultra.
What does this mean for timing of the Apple Watch SE 3’s release?
It’s fairly standard for displays to go into production months ahead of a public launch. While a late April production start seems slightly early perhaps, the Apple Watch SE 3 is likely still set for a September debut along the Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3.
