Overview

  • An image in the iOS 26 developer beta shows a 422 × 514-pixel display identified as the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
  • The new resolution marks a slight increase over the Ultra 2’s 410 × 502 screen, suggesting a crisper interface or marginal screen growth.
  • Details hint that Apple could preserve the current case size by trimming bezel dimensions or opt for a slightly larger chassis to house a bigger battery.
  • Rumors suggest the Ultra 3 may debut satellite messaging, an LTPO3 high-refresh OLED, 5G RedCap connectivity, an updated SiP and blood pressure detection sensors.
  • Industry expectations point to a formal unveiling at Apple’s September 9 fall keynote, likely alongside iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 updates.
