Hello,
So I know that the series 3 won’t be getting Watch OS 9 or anything past this, and is said to be getting dropped from support (even though apple still sells them) Anyways I bought one last fall 2021, i should have spent the little bit extra and just got the SE I know but there was good deals going on with black friday and everything and I wanted to get into my first watch for as little as possible to see if i would like it and how much I would use it….Anyways to my point. So I just got a security update I believe it was 8.7.1 my question is; will apple still put security updates for this device for a period of time to keep it up to date and secure without getting the new watch OS? That would be really nice if it at-least stayed safe and secure to use even if it doesn’t get any more features that the new OS’s receive. I would be happy with Apple atleast doing this and not completely screwing customers who just bought these things..seeing as they’re still selling them atleast until next month. I will probably be updating to one of the newer ones pretty soon anyways but that doesn’t mean i will be just throwing this one away. I will probably give it to my daughter to use with her iPhone 11, or maybe my brother….or possibly just hang onto it for a second one for reviews and comparisons. Sorry for the life story 😂 Thanks for your time and answers!
