Overview

  • Apple’s Sept. 9 “Awe Dropping” keynote is widely expected to include the Watch Ultra 3 alongside the iPhone 17 lineup.
  • iOS 26 beta code flags a higher 422×514 resolution likely achieved with thinner bezels, with reports pointing to Series 10’s LTPO3 display characteristics such as brighter always‑on behavior.
  • The watch is tipped to use an S11 SiP with performance similar to S9/S10 but a smaller package that could free space for a larger battery or other components.
  • Satellite connectivity is expected to enable Emergency SOS in areas without cellular or Wi‑Fi, with some reports suggesting limited messaging; a shift to 5G RedCap via a MediaTek modem remains unconfirmed.
  • Blood‑pressure capability is described as trend detection under development rather than clinical readings, and leak‑based expectations put the starting price near $799.
