Only Apple’s cheapest watch is getting a redesign this year, new report claims

Apple is preparing to launch three new Apple Watch models in 2025, but only one will be redesigned.

This depends Bloomberg Mark Gurman (via rumours)who laid out what he knows about the company’s plans in the latest edition of his “Power On” newsletter.

All three new models will reportedly launch in the second half of 2025 – likely during Apple’s annual iPhone launch event, which usually takes place in September. The cheapest three watches, the Apple Watch SE, will have a “new look,” while the Series 11 and Ultra 3 models “will likely remain roughly the same,” the report said.

Previous rumors suggested that Apple might opt ​​for an option Plastic wrap For the Apple Watch SE, but there is no mention of that in this report.

As for the Apple Watch Series 11, it wouldn’t be a big surprise if it stayed the same, given that it received a pretty big redesign last year, with a larger screen and a slimmer form.

If the Apple Watch Ultra 3 stays the same, it’ll be a bit disappointing, because that model hasn’t really changed at all since the original launched in 2022.

However, that may not matter, as the Ultra 3 will reportedly get some exciting new features, including satellite connectivity and access to the 5G RedCap network. It may also be time for Apple to add high blood pressure detection to both the Ultra 3 and Series 11.
