What does Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE really bring us?

Apple Watch Series 3

The departure of the new Apple Watch Series 3 It has revolutionized the Watch market, making them more independent from the iPhone. This new model incorporates LTE But do we really know what we gain from this new technology? There are several doubts that we generate when we talk about this new advance and the difference it has with its "brother" without LTE.

There is not only the economic difference, which is obvious, but we will also focus on analyzing in more detail some aspects that will help you in case you want to buy this product with or without LTE.

Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE

Jeff Williams he introduced us to the new model Apple Watch, whose reservation began on September 15, with the great news that we mentioned before about the incorporation of LTE. It is true that this is not only the novelty that it presents with its previous model, which has been withdrawn from the official Apple store. In this article we will focus on the model with LTE to know everything about it.

At first glance, the new Apple Watch Series 3 presents a design practically identical to the previous model except for the wheel on the right that has a red color in the center.

Obviously, inside it is where it presents great differences that, as we have already explained in the following article about this new model, makes it a great advance on the part of Apple.

Comparison with and without LTE

If we compare both models of Apple Watch Series 3, (with and without LTE) we will soon finish with the analysis. The only difference that they present is their Storage capacity. This has 8GB in the model without LTE while the model with LTE, it would amount to 16GB of internal storage.

The rest of the internal specifications are exactly the same on both models. These, you can see them in the Apple website. Therefore, to know the differences and what one model gives us and another, we must analyze their operation.

Positive aspects of the model with LTE

First, and the most obvious, is the possibility to make calls from our watch without having to have the iPhone nearby. Just by having the Watch we can call in the same way that we do from an iPhone. In addition to calls, we can also communicate through text messages Similarly.

Second we have the music. Thanks to the incorporation of LTE we will be able to make use, for the moment, of Apple Music without having to use our iPhone for anything. At the moment and without news about it, Spotify it will not give the possibility of making it compatible with this device.

And third, we welcome Crab in our Watch. Until now, we needed the iPhone to be able to ask Siri to set us a reminder, send an invitation or any other command. From now on, if we can do everything from the Watch without depending on anything. Just as we can establish them, we can receive notifications from the applications without the need for your mobile device.

Negative aspects of having LTE

As is normal, not everything could be good. Apple's new model has some data that is not entirely encouraging to really give it the use they intend. That is, although it has some functions that should be very useful for all its users, the consequences that these present make it difficult to last for a long period of time. We refer to the battery life.

In principle, we started from that it would last us around 18 hours after relatively normal use. Apple indicates it, approximately, with time control (90 times), receipt of about 90 notifications, 45 minutes of application use and a training of about 30 minutes with music playback.

But these hours are reducing, as is logical, as we interact more with him, but we are surprised by the excessive reduction.

Apple Watch Series 3

The battery life when we are playing audio It is only calculated for some 10 hours, which is a normal amount, compared to other devices. This duration is the same if we talk about indoor training. In return, it would be cut in half, 5 hours, if the training is outdoors and with GPS activated. There is more, if we add the GPS LTE connection, the estimated duration is only 4 hours.

And if that seems very short duration, when we say to make use of the Apple Watch Series 3 to call, the figures are worrying. If we have the Watch connected to iPhone, the battery life would be 3 hours. If we make use of LTE to make calls directly from the watch, the estimated duration to speak continuously is only slightly more than 1 hour.

Another of the weak points of this model is its sale. To this day, and we hope this improves, it is not possible to purchase the product with LTE in a large number of countries, including Spain. This is mainly due to the lack of agreements with the LTE connection provider companies.

Conclusions

There is no doubt that it is a breakthrough by Apple to have implemented LTE in their Apple Watch but the reality is that, today, the performance and productivity that you can get is scarce. First of all by the lack of agreements with companies from different countries, which limits the points of sale and secondly, by the battery duration so scarce that it presents.

In short, this new incorporated technology will be used for specific activities of very short duration if we want the Watch to hold us all day.

    Also includes a sapphire lampshade and ceramic case.

      Only the lower part is ceramic, the one that contacts the skin. Sapphire crystal is only available with the steel model, not with the aluminum one.

    Let's see, this article basically gives information that is not verified and straight out of a hat. When you say "the only difference they have is their storage capacity" you are little more than inventing. The clock is not only completely different at the hardware level, but it also has a processor 70% faster than the series 2, it also includes the W2 chip (which tells you what it is for), altimeter and barometer.
    When you talk about the battery life, it is clear that during a voice call it will be less ... but Apple stated in the presentation that in the rest of the situations the duration WILL BE THE SAME as in the previous model, therefore all the data that you're giving about battery life comes out of the hat again. When you say that it cannot be purchased in Spain, it is new and totally FALSE. It can be purchased perfectly right now at the Apple Store in Spain.

    I beg you, please, do not write anything because you insult those of us who have an idea of ​​what we say.

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      Now please read the article again, realize that you are comparing the Series 3 and Series 3 LTE, and feel a bit ashamed for having written the comment that you have written and accused a copywriter of writing garbage when it The only thing that can be qualified like this is your comment.

      Hello Pedro, as the author of the article I am going to make some clarifications regarding your comment.
      First of all, I see that you know the specifications of the Apple Watch very well, as do all of us, but it is also important to read the article completely beforehand and then comment correctly.
      At the beginning of it, it is clearly said that the comparison that is made is between Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE and without LTE, so the differences with its previous model (Series 2) do not matter to us. Everything you say is totally true but we are not referring to it.
      Second, I invite you to read the availability of the Watch Series 3 models with LTE in Spain and tell us if what I say in the post is true or not.
      And finally, before writing a post, both my colleagues and I inform ourselves and document enough so that the content of the article is as complete as possible.
      Greetings, Jesus.

      Hello Pedro, we are going to have to look at our reading comprehension. The editor makes it clear that he compares the Series 3 to the Series 3 LTE.

    What is the meaning of LTE. Thanks

    1.    Miguel Hernández said

      LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. It is a mobile communications standard developed by 3GPP, the association that developed and maintains GSM and UMTS.

  4.   Victoria said

    I wanted to consult the following: in case of buying an Apple Watch series 3 (GPS + cellular), it can be used in the common way (that is, without LTE and connected to the iPhone) if in my country there is no agreement with the companies yet? .

  5.   Copernicus said

    Yes, it is very good to modify the article afterwards and leave people badly.
