Amidst ongoing speculations surrounding the forthcoming iPad series, including the possibility of OLED integration, Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo has introduced a surprising twist concerning the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Initially hinting at a potential delay, Kuo now anticipates the arrival of a new Ultra model in 2024. However, there is a caveat: this upcoming model is unlikely to showcase significant hardware enhancements compared to the Ultra 2. Specific details regarding the Apple Watch Ultra 3 are still shrouded in secrecy, with the only confirmed information being a projected launch in September.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 to Offer Limited Hardware Advancements
Kuo's recent analysis indicates that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will not feature substantial upgrades.
Looking beyond the Ultra series, the prospect of a third iteration of the Apple Watch SE hitting the market this year is plausible if Apple adheres to its typical two-year update pattern. The destiny of the successor to the Apple Watch Series 9 remains uncertain. Notably, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg previously suggested a redesigned "Apple Watch X" incorporating functionalities like blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection, although details regarding its release date and official name are still up in the air.
Potential Feature Overlaps Between Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 9 Successor
Gurman's proposed features for the Series 9's successor could potentially find their way to the Apple Watch Ultra 3. With the original Apple Watch approaching its tenth anniversary (unveiled in September 2014 and launched in April 2015), all eyes are set on Apple's imminent smartwatch revelations.
