Following after the Apple Watch Series 10, Apple is expected to bring out the Apple Watch Series 11. If previous scheduling is an indicator, the Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to launch in late 2025 alongside the iPhone 17

At this extremely early stage, there are very scarce rumors about the Apple Watch Series 11. The above video about Apple Watch Series 10 rumors provides some insight into the direction Apple could take its wearable.

Apple Watch Series 11 MicroLED display

An analyst report from April 2023 claimed that Apple will be using MicroLED display technology in an Apple Watch released in 2025. While this could describe the OLED-based Apple Watch Ultra, it could just as easily be about the Apple Watch Series 11. 

The MicroLED display could offer the same localized dimming and contrast as an OLED screen. However, MicroLED is capable of a higher pixel density, resulting in higher resolutions, as well as brighter images. 

The report added that the wearable using the technology will arrive in the second half of 2025. 

However, there's no guarantee that the display will arrive. There have been claims of cancellations of projects related to the display. If true, this may further delay the screen's introduction, pushing it back to possibly the Apple Watch Series 12.

Apple Watch Series 11 health sensors

Apple is always looking for new ways to track the user's health using Apple Watch. The existing sensors are packed into a very limited space already, but more sensors could be coming.

Some speculate Apple could start tracking blood pressure using Apple Watch. While the readings wouldn't be able to provide a medical diagnosis, they would indicate a change in trends that might necessitate a doctor visit.

The holy grail of wearable technology will be non-invasive blood-glucose tracking. Apple is rumored to be working on such tech, but it is seemingly no where near ready for release.

Apple Watch Series 11 price and release date

Apple rarely adjusts the prices of its core product line, so unless the price changes with Apple Watch Series 10, there is little chance of a price change for the 2017 models. Apple announces its new iPhone and Apple Watch lineups during an event every September, so expect to learn about Apple Watch Series 11 in September 2025.
