Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com Sept. 5, finally, Apple Apple Watch Series 3 has sold out in some areas. According to MacRumors, most versions of the watch are out of stock in the UK and Australia, while it has been completely sold out in the United States.

Earlier, the media said that Apple's Apple Watch Series 3 is expected to stop production in September and that the device will not be upgraded to run the latest version of watchOS 9 software, meaning potential customers should no longer buy the device.

CTOnews.com inquiry found that Apple Apple Watch Series 3 is still available on Apple's Chinese website.

Apple Apple Watch Series 3 was released in September 2017 and has been around for nearly five years. It is the oldest device to support watchOS 8, but its S3 chip lags behind Apple Watch SE's S5 chip and Apple Watch Series 7's S7 chip in performance. The Apple Watch Series 3 is also the only remaining Apple Watch with an older, thicker design, with large borders and corners around the display.

After last year's iOS 14.6 and watchOS 7.5 updates, Apple Watch Series 3 users must unpair their linked iPhone and re-pair their devices when updating their watchOS, because Apple Watch does not have enough internal storage to complete the update independently.

In June, Apple previewed Apple Watch's next-generation operating system, watchOS 9. The new operating system no longer supports Apple Watch Series 3, which means that the device will continue to run "watchOS 8". Still, Apple Watch Series 3 is still on sale. Apple is expected to stop production of the device when it announces a new Apple Watch model at next month's iPhone 14 / Pro launch event.

Users who want to buy entry-level Apple Watch models can look forward to Apple Watch SE 2. Apple Watch SE made its debut in 2020 and is a low-cost choice for customers. It has been nearly two years since its launch, and Bloomberg Mark Gurman and analyst Guo Mingyi and others expect Apple Watch SE 2 to be released with Apple Watch Series 8 next month.

Bloomberg Mark Gurman predicts that the Apple Watch SE 2 may be equipped with a S8 chip. It is reported that the S8 chip will have the same specifications as the S6 and S7 chips. The new Apple Watch SE 2 may bring some other features and improvements and will better support the latest version of watchOS 9.
