Apple tends to keep details about its upcoming products under wraps, leaving fans to rely on leaks and speculations.
Based on Apple’s typical release cycles, there are some pretty strong predictions. However, industry expert Mark Gurman from Bloomberg predicts that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely be released in late 2025. This would align with Apple’s usual September announcements for new products, including the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in September 2023 and the original Ultra in September 2022.
Given this pattern, it is expected that the Ultra 3 will be announced during a September 2025 event, with a possible release date of September 26, 2025, alongside the iPhone 17. The Apple Watch SE and Series 11 are also expected to be announced around the same time.
While the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may not bring a drastic redesign, it’s set to feature some exciting upgrades:
- Satellite Messaging: The Ultra 3 will likely include satellite messaging capabilities, enabling users to send messages even without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.
This is a revolutionary solution for individuals who require communication when they are not within the reach of conventional networks.
- Blood Pressure Monitoring: Health enthusiasts will be excited to know that blood pressure monitoring could be included in the Ultra 3, potentially offering life-saving insights into cardiovascular health.
- Improved Hardware & Battery Life: While design changes may be minimal, the internal hardware is expected to get a boost, offering better performance and possibly longer battery life.
Additionally, a RedCap (Reduced Capability) mode could be introduced to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Though it may not be the most significant update in the Apple Watch Ultra series, the Ultra 3 promises some noteworthy features that will keep it competitive in the market. With time still left before 2025, more details are sure to emerge about what Apple has in store.
