It seems that Apple has not yet said its final word when it comes to the Ultra series watches. In the latest beta of iOS 26, graphics were found that suggest something that many of you may find interesting – the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is coming, and with a slightly larger screen.
New size, new quality?
On platform X (formerly Twitter), user Aaron Perris published information about a find from iOS 26 beta 5 – an image showing a watch with a resolution of 422 x 514 pixels. For comparison: the current Apple Watch Ultra has a screen of 410 x 502 pixels. The change seems minor, but enough to stir up quite a bit of emotion.
Today, there is no Apple Watch model with such a resolution, which means we are likely looking at the Ultra 3. And if this is confirmed, it is likely that either a larger case or thinner bezels are on the way. Both options have their advantages – one may provide a longer battery life, while the other allows for a more compact profile without sacrificing workspace.
What else do we know about the Apple Watch Ultra 3?
The change in resolution is just the tip of the iceberg. For some time now, there has also been talk of several other novelties that Apple may add to this model:
Satellite connectivity – in case you are outside of cellular coverage.
Blood pressure measurement – something many of you have been waiting for years.
New LTPO3 OLED display – with an even better always-on mode.
5G modem – a forward-looking step towards full mobility.
S10 or S11 SiP – new chip, new level of performance and energy efficiency.
Premiere? Just a moment away
If Apple doesn't change its release cycle, the premiere of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will take place on September 9 – along with the iPhone 17. That's when we'll learn all the details and, who knows, maybe a few surprises as well.
Let us know – is a bigger screen and new features something that will convince you to purchase the Ultra 3? Or are you waiting for something else? We're curious about your opinion.
