On March 22, according to the Financial Associated Press, Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingxi expected that apple Watch Series 3 would be discontinued in the third quarter. The Apple Watch, which has been launched for 5 years, will soon be listed as a "phased out device" by Apple.
As a 5-year-old Apple Watch, it is not easy to support the latest WatchOS 8, but with the hardware performance of Series 3, I am afraid that there is no way to stick to the arrival of WatchOS 9. This means that if users want to experience the latest watch system, they can either buy the latest Apple Watch Series 7 or buy a second-hand old model.
Xiao Lei found that there is still a position in Apple Watch Series 3 on Apple's official website today, and it can also be purchased at a price of 1499 yuan. In addition to the third generation, the official website is only SE and Series 7, which can be seen that the life of this watch is quite long.
Xiao Lei learned that when Apple launched WatchOS 7.5 last year, Apple Watch Series 3 has problems such as insufficient internal storage space, and Guo Mingxi believes that the hardware aspect of the product may not be able to meet the needs of the next big version of the system. In addition, the third generation of Apple Watch is also the last generation of products with large bezel screens, the design is relatively outdated, if it is not for collection and feelings, there is really no need to buy now.
It is worth mentioning that although the Apple Watch 3 is about to be discontinued, until then, users can still use Apple Fintness+ to ensure that their fitness services will not be interrupted. However, Xiao Lei believes that this Apple Watch is almost "retired", and it is better to change a new model if there are conditions.
There is news that the new generation of Apple Watch will add a body temperature sensor, which can achieve richer health monitoring and fitness tracking functions, and when the small partner of the 3rd generation of "nail households", you can look forward to the new model.
Then again, Xiao Lei believes that Apple Watch 3 has been updated for so many years, which is very rare in the industry, and if it does not pursue a new system, it can actually continue to be used normally. Apple's products have served for more than five years, often will be officially included in the "elimination" object, switch listed for so many years to the middle of the life, Nintendo or not to engage in a "elimination" plan, update the new products.
