As Apple prepares to unveil its latest range of devices later this year, one product could leave fans of the brand wanting more: the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
According to renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the new generation of Apple’s high-end watch may not bring significant hardware improvements over its predecessor. In a recent note to investors, Kuo states that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will not offer “ almost none » major internal improvement over the current Ultra 2 model, launching in 2023.
This implies that changes could be largely iterative, potentially limited to a newer processor and minor improvements. Of course, Kuo’s prediction doesn’t mean the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be completely stagnant.
What to expect from the next Apple Watch Ultra 3?
Apple typically makes adjustments and improvements with each new model, even if they are ultimately incremental improvements in nature. New sensors, software features and some internal specification improvements are to be expected.
What seems less likely based on this latest report is a cosmetic overhaul, a significant improvement in battery life, or the addition of a revolutionary new feature specific to the Ultra line. We may have to wait until 2025 to see Apple introduce a new feature highly anticipated by users: the blood glucose sensor.
If the Apple Watch Ultra is really lacking in new features, it could leave the field open for Samsung’s next high-end watch, which will probably be called Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra. In its financial results, the Korean giant suggested that it will unveil not 2, but 3 models this year at the next Unpacked conference, which will take place next July in Paris.
This brand new Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra would be a Premium model, which could directly compete with the American Apple Watch Ultra. It remains to be seen whether it will include enough interesting technologies to attract Apple users, but we already know, for example, that it should offer exemplary autonomy with a battery of no less than 600 mAh. This is significantly more than previous generations.
