services, or to make/take phone calls. Nonetheless it still needs an iPhone to
configure the timepiece.

And while the Series 1 Apple Watch can
still make use of the Apple iPhone 5s and later to connect with and to set up
the device, the new Series 3 watch requires an Apple iPhone 6 or higher
versions for the configuration and setting up of the timepiece. Another
requirement is that the phone must have iOS 11, or higher, installed on it.

This simply means that if you wish to
upgrade to a Series 3 model, you will need to upgrade to an iPhone 6 or higher
as well in order to set up your new watch because iPhone 5s will no longer given
the chance. Also note that this is irrespective of the kind of series 3 model
you own – the cellular enabled version of the Apple Watch Series 3, or the
non-cellular Series 3 model.

pre-order starts this Friday, September 15. The product is expected to be
released on September 22.
