There are quite a few features I would love to see in future versions of the Apple Watch, but not all of those wishes are the most realistic. I ll start by talking about some realistic predictions for the Apple Watch in 2021.
Touch ID
Touch ID on the Apple Watch has been on many people s wishlist for a long time. Thanks to a patent that Tech Radar found the Apple Watch Series 7 could be the watch that makes that dream a reality. Since Touch ID was introduced, it has been a fan-favorite biometric identification. While Face ID is certainly awesome, Touch ID has always had a loyal following.

Both the Cellular and GPS versions of Apple Watch Series 4, Apple Watch Series 5, Apple Watch Series 6, and Apple Watch SE require at least an iPhone 6s running iOS 14. If you use Family Setup with a GPS + Cellular Apple Watch, the iPhone is only required for the initial setup. After that, the person set as a family member does not also need an iPhone.
Apple Watch Series 3
As of September 2020, Apple no longer sells the GPS + Cellular version of the Apple Watch Series 3. We no longer include its specifications in this comparison guide. However, the Series 3 GPS + Cellular does exist in the world for those considering upgrading from this model.
