Apple Watch Series 6 Connectivity
Apple Watch Series 6 models are equipped with an Apple-designed W3 chip, and there are two variants available: GPS and GPS + Cellular. GPS + Cellular models have a built-in LTE chip and can connect to LTE without an iPhone, while GPS models are WiFi only.
LTE connectivity has been available since the Apple Watch Series 3, and with an LTE connection, the Apple Watch is untethered from the iPhone and does not require an iPhone or known WiFi network for an internet connection.
Apple Watch Series 5 supports 5GHz WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0. In comparison to Bluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth 5.0 offers a more extended range, faster speeds, more comprehensive broadcast message capacity, and better interoperability with other wireless technologies.
GPS has been built in the Apple Watch since Series 2, and all Series 6 models, LTE, and non-LTE feature a GPS chip that allows the Apple Watch to discover its position without needing to be near an iPhone.
With GPS, the Apple Watch can keep a note on speed, distance, and route while you’re walking, jogging, hiking, or biking, giving more insight into your fitness activities.
Where To Buy
Pricing on the Apple Watch Series 6 begins at $399 for non-LTE models and $499 for LTE 6 series models.
