Apple is expected to launch a number of new devices at their press event today. One of those will be the Apple Watch Series 6, and now it looks like they will also launch a new Apple Watch SE.
The Apple Watch SE is going to be a more affordable version of the Apple Watch. While we are not entirely sure if this will be the actual name of the device, it is clear that Apple aims to provide a budget-friendly option for consumers who want the Apple Watch experience without the premium price tag.
Features and Specifications
The Apple Watch SE will not have all the features of the top model, but it will still offer a robust set of functionalities. It will come in two sizes, catering to different wrist sizes and preferences. Additionally, the device will be available in both WiFi and LTE models, giving users the flexibility to choose a model that best suits their connectivity needs.
The SE model is expected to include essential health and fitness tracking features, such as heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, and sleep tracking. However, it may lack some of the advanced features found in the Series 6, such as the blood oxygen sensor and the ECG app. This makes it an excellent choice for users who want a reliable smartwatch without the need for cutting-edge health metrics.
Other Devices at the Event
In addition to the Apple Watch SE, Apple is also expected to unveil a new iPad Air and iPad 8 at today’s press event. The new iPad Air is rumored to feature the A14 chip and USB-C connectivity, making it a powerful and versatile device for both work and play. The iPad 8, on the other hand, is expected to come with the A12X chip and retain the Lightning connector, offering a balance of performance and affordability.
– iPad Air 4th Gen: A14 and USB-C
– iPad 8th Gen: A12X and Lightning
– Apple Watch Series 6: S4, 2 sizes, both BT and LTE
– Apple Watch SE: also in 2 sizes, also BT and LTE versions

The Apple Watch Series 6 is expected to be the flagship model, featuring the latest S4 chip, two size options, and both Bluetooth and LTE versions. This model will likely include all the advanced health and fitness features that Apple has been developing, making it the go-to choice for tech enthusiasts and fitness buffs alike.
Apple’s decision to hold their event online is a reflection of the current global situation, ensuring that fans and media can safely participate from the comfort of their homes. The event will kick off at 10 AM PDT, which is 6 PM UK time. We will have more details and updates as the event unfolds, so stay tuned for the latest information on Apple’s new product lineup.
