If you were hoping for a new generation of the Apple Watch Ultra with a significant number of amazing new features you may be let down.
Per Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple seems likely to release a next-gen Apple Watch Ultra this year, but the new model will have “almost no” hardware upgrades compared to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Kuo did not reveal any specific changes planned for the Apple Watch Ultra 3, which will presumably launch in September.
It’s thought that there could also be a third-generation Apple Watch SE released this year given the two-year cycle for that model. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously reported about a redesigned “Apple Watch X” with a thinner case and magnetic bands, but he said it would be released “in 2024 or 2025,” so it is not clear if it will launch this year or next year.
Gurman has stated that the model that succeeds the Apple Watch Series 9 will offer blood pressure sensing and sleep apnea detection, features that could likely extend to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 model.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
