Apple untethers Series 3 Watch with new standalone LTE service
CUPERTINO, Calif.-At Apple's headquarters today, the company announced a new Apple Watch Series 3, which will have standalone LTE service. This feature breaks the necessary connection between the wearable and an iPhone, allowing it to receive messages, download apps, stream music, and connect to the Internet without help.
The new Apple Watch with Cellular, as it's called, will be available on September 22 in 10 countries and will start at $399. A separate version without LTE service will be more widely available and will start at $329. The older Apple Watch Series 2 will now start at $249. Pre-orders for the new models will start on September 15.
Apple says the Watch with Cellular will work with Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile in the US; Verizon and AT&T say it'll cost $10 a month to add the device to an existing mobile plan.
