Apple Watch Ultra 3 Set for Sept. 9 Reveal, With Larger Display and New Connectivity Reported

Apple’s keynote will confirm which rumored upgrades make the cut.

Overview

  • Apple has scheduled its "Awe Dropping" event for September 9, where the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is slated to be unveiled alongside new iPhones and Apple Watch models.
  • iOS 26 beta assets indicate a higher-resolution Ultra display at 422 × 514 pixels within an unchanged case size, with reports pointing to LTPO3 OLED tech from Series 10.
  • A new S11 chip is expected, with reporting suggesting similar performance to S9/S10 but a smaller package that could free space for a larger battery or additional components.
  • Multiple reports point to potential satellite-based Emergency SOS and a move to power-efficient 5G RedCap using a MediaTek modem, marking a shift from LTE.
  • Rumors highlight blood-pressure trend alerts and faster charging if the Series 10 coil redesign carries over, while pricing is tipped to start at $799 like the Ultra 2.
