Apple may be at an impasse regarding the technology available to bring to its high-end smartwatch. If what you currently have is the most advanced there is, what could you put in the next one? Such doubts seem to lead to some speculation. That is, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may not bring any hardware updates.
Between the Series X and the Ultra 3… what could appear?
The Apple Watch Ultra 3, which is expected to be released this year, will have “almost no” hardware updates. The statement is from renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The 2023 model, the Ultra 2, featured modest improvements over its predecessor. It seems that Apple will follow the same trend with this year's model.
In a note shared with some outlets, Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities says he doesn't expect hardware upgrades in the 2024 Apple Watch Ultra. While his note is light on details, it sets the tone for what to expect from the third-generation Ultra smartwatch from Apple.
The watch may retain the same internal components as its predecessor, with Apple relying on new software and marketing features to make the difference. wearable stand out.
It was a similar story with the 2023 Apple Watch Ultra 2. In addition to a super-bright 3000-nit display, the new model came with an Apple S9 processor. The only other notable change was the addition of a double-tap gesture, which launched with watchOS 10.1 in October. Otherwise, it looked the same and provided the same functionality as the model it replaced.
Given Kuo's accurate track record, there is little reason to doubt this last claim. With this year's Apple Watch Ultra 3 not offering any hardware improvements, what will be the incentive for users to purchase this model?
