Apple hid an important chipset detail in its Apple Watch SE 3 presentation.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Apple just unveiled three new Apple Watches The Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 are the new range When talking about the SE 3, Apple revealed a surprising detail about all three watches

For those of you watching the Apple Event presentation playback right now and thinking about getting an Apple Watch, you might be weighing up the benefits of getting an Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs sticking with your Apple Watch Ultra 2 . Alternatively, you might be considering the Apple Watch Series 11 vs the
Apple Watch Series 10 .

Both represent an upgrade in terms of screens and features, boasting 5G LTE connectivity, new health features and a much-requested battery life boost. However, there's an important fact you need to know about these two watches, and it was hidden in the presentation for the least of Apple's watch range: the Apple Watch SE 3.

The Apple Watch SE 3 is the cheapest of Apple's new lineup, starting at $249 (likely priced at 259 / AU$399 in the UK and AU). However, it represents a serious upgrade over its predecessor, the Apple Watch SE 2 . It can play
media on-watch, has fast charging capabilities, packs AI features thanks to watchOS 26, and you can interact with it using hands-free gestures. It's functionally got the smarts of an Apple Watch Series 10 . (Image credit: Apple)

That's because it packs the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 10: the advanced S10 chipset. When talking about the SE 3, Apple Watch product
manager Amanda Santangelo boasted the SE 3 contained Apple's "most powerful" watch chipset.

That means the Series 11 and Ultra 3 contain the same chipset as their predecessors, the Series 10 and the Ultra 2. It wasn't highlighted in the presentation, but it was jarring enough that I noticed the discrepancy.

Sure enough, going to the Apple Store's product pages and examining the key specs, we can see both watches are packing last year's chips.

It shouldn't make any real difference to most users buying Apple Watches for the first time, or upgrading after several generations, but if you're
weighing up jumping from last year's model to this year's iteration, it might be helpful to know you're getting the same processing power. Watch: Apple Watch series 11 TikTok @techradar
