The Apple Watch Series 3 may be discontinued in the third quarter of 2022, according to an analyst.
The Apple Watch Series 3 may not be able to meet the requirements of a new version of watchOS in the third quarter of 2022.
Almost five years have passed since the release of the Apple Watch Series 3. The oldest device to support the latest version of watchOS 8 is the S3 chip, but it lags behind Apple Watch Series 7 and the S5 chip in terms of performance. The Apple Watch Series 3 is the only remaining Apple Watch that has a thicker design with large corners around the display.
When updating watchOS, Apple Watch Series 3 users have to unpair and re-pair the device from their linked iPhone because the Apple Watch does not have enough internal storage.
The Apple Watch Series 4 would be the only one that would get watchOS 9. The release of major new versions of Apple's operating systems usually takes place in early June, but they are not typically released to the public until the fall, which would coincide with the launch of new Apple Watch models.
The second-generation Apple Watch and the Apple Watch Series 8 are expected to launch later this year, but little is known about what watchOS 9 may offer.
The Apple Watch Series 3 has an older design, limited storage space, and an extra step required to install software updates, so it is likely that Apple will stop selling it sooner than later. We don't recommend purchasing the Apple Watch Series 3 over the price of $279 because it is a low-cost option.
