Previous rumors claimed there probably wouldn’t be a new Apple Watch Ultra this year, but the informants have now revised their copy.
In October 2023, informant Ming Chi Kuo claimed that “ If Apple doesn’t officially launch the Apple Watch Ultra 3 project by December, it’s all but confirmed that we won’t see a new Apple Watch Ultra in 2024 “. At that time, the man estimated the release date for 2025, or 2026.
The reasons given were that Apple needed more time. On the one hand to offer worthwhile innovations, and on the other hand to solve the production problems of micro-LED screens. A TrendForce report also confirmed Ming Chi Kuo’s comments in December, who for his part predicted a release for 2026.
However, we have just learned that despite the lack of new features, the Apple firm still plans to release the Apple Watch 3 this year.
The news
Today’s news again comes from Ming Chi Kuo, who shared with MacRumors the latest information he unearthed. They come from directly from the Apple supply chain. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, we should not expect any developments material material, or even to: “almost none “.
Despite everything, it could benefit from the same new features as the watch which will succeed the Apple Watch Series 9. This would be The Apple Watchwhich would offer blood pressure detection, as well as sleep apnea, according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.
If Apple has finally decided to market a new Apple Watch Ultra 3 in 2024, we imagine that it is no coincidence. Even if it does not offer any blatant innovation, a feature such as sleep apnea detection could push a good portion of owners of old versions to get the new one.
The Apple Watch X and Ultra 3 should normally be presented during the annual September keynote in Cupertino. We could also expect the Apple Watch SE 3 to be announced during the event, but there’s nothing certain at the moment.
