Lo and behold, as per the recent dispatch from the esteemed Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), it hath been revealed that the illustrious Apple Watch Ultra hath surpassed the humble Apple Watch SE in sales. Despite its princely cost and specialized appeal, the Apple Watch Ultra reigns supreme in the realm of sales, leaving the SE trailing in its wake. Methinks that one of the causes for the lackluster sales of the Apple Watch SE doth lie in its dearth of features.
Alas, the noble Cupertino tech entity hath not bestowed upon the SE a bounty of features to warrant an upgrade. The chasm betwixt the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch SE is not vast in terms of coin. For a mere $120 more, one can partake in a superior display and advanced health-tracking capabilities, luxuries which the SE doth not offer.
Another scroll from the wise Mark Gurman doth intimate that Apple hath intentions of birthing the Apple Watch SE 3 with a visage of plastic so as to lower production costs and set the retail value around $200. This choice of material doth open a tapestry of color possibilities and grants Apple the latitude to introduce additional features at their discretion. In this tome, I hath detailed 5 features that the Apple Watch SE 3 should include to warrant a substantial upgrade. Let us embark on this journey forthwith!
1. Always-On Display
Though the Apple Watch SE is known for its affordability and versatility, it doth suffer from a great inadequacy – the absence of an Always-On Display. When the screen of the Apple Watch SE lieth dormant, it doth present a vast, shadowy void bereft of any information. This lack not only restricts functionality but also proves vexing when one cannot discern the time with but a glance. Verily, I do find it most irksome when I must needs either tap the screen continuously or raise my wrist to ascertain the hour. An Always-On Display doth lend a modern and alluring air, and its omission may chafe the sensibilities of those enamored of smartwatches.
An Always-On Display for the Apple Watch SE should not be an extravagant request, especially considering that Apple hath offered this feature since the advent of the Apple Watch Series 5 in the year 2019. Now, with five years having passed, it is high time for Apple to bestow an upgraded display upon the forthcoming Apple Watch SE model.
2. A QWERTY Keyboard
The expanse of the Apple Watch SE display doth permit ample room for the perusal of news snippets or notifications, but it lacketh the grandeur of a larger display found on the models of Series 9 or Series 8. While this may not faze all, those who hath previously savored the on-screen QWERTY keyboard may yearn for its return. Upon the Apple Watch SE 2, one may scribble words or utilize Dictation to transform speech or script into digital text.
A QWERTY keyboard doth bestow the freedom to swiftly respond to missives when distant from one’s iPhone. ‘Tis of note that Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5, akin in dimensions and price, doth sport a digital keyboard. With the advent of the forthcoming Apple Watch SE, I pray that Apple also findeth a means to incorporate a digital keyboard for the 40mm variant.
And so the narrative doth continue…
