Apple Watch Ultra 3 to have almost no hardware upgrades

01 May 2024
The information comes form the prolific and usually reliable Ming-Chi Kuo.

Sort by:

I have Ultra 2 49mm LTE. Almost perfect except for the absence of BP and Blood Sugar level readings. Apple watch has matured a long way (being my First Apple Watch, waited for almost 10 years to mature). Even battery life of Ultra 2 is excellent for my usage.

      Hahaha hahaha!! New premiums for Old tech! And the isheeps will lap it up and defend it to the death, the replies to this comment will prove my point haha

        If people think releasing a new device with almost no upgrades is a fail move then consider that the earlier models will get a price cut too. So one can simply buy that older model for less price now, and still be satisfied with the hardware and features they're going to get.

          I have the Ultra 1 and I see no reason to upgrade. When they finally give us a week long battery then I will upgrade but for now the Ultra 1 does everything I need and does it very well. The one thing I am envious of is the newer SIP. My GF has the Series 9 and Siri is so fast on her watch compared to mine and she can even do simple things with no internet connection whereas mine needs internet. It's kinda dumb. I have a 15 Pro Max so why can't my voice just be sent to the phone for processing instead of needing to go to the cloud?

              The Ultra 2 already had almost no hardware upgrades.
              makes sense people who buy a 900€ apple watch can buy a new one every year just for the sake of it 🤷‍♂️

                Wow that certainly caught me off-guard, i never expected apple to do such a move... Oh wait, it is pretty much doing this every year, and most likely lot of dummies are going to get it and pay 24 months credit to have the latest and flashy apple product.

                Fun fact, that most of people that owns an apple device are actually "poor" regarding pay-wages, greed is the name of apple users.

There's a reason why Lenovo re-released their Legion Y700 tablet and Samsung also released their Tab A9 as the successor of A7 Lite, both with new chipsets.

                      According to rumors among many important features of iPad Mini Display is it's jelly scroll effect,that Apple is gonna heavily focus on this year as a unique feature.according to rumors Apple needs some more time to finish up the final touch & Pre-recording for launch event.😶‍🌫️

                        Instead of re-releasing the same iPhone, iPad Pro, MacBook, and Apple Watch Ultra with little to almost no improvement every year, why don't they just release the new iPad Mini already? It's been 3 years and we're not even getting any leak related to iPad Mini yet. Crazy!

                          "Apple's fall event"? More like Apple's fail event

I have the Edifice EFS-S550 which makes charging obsolete since the watch face is a solar panel. Than I have another Casio wich shows tide and moonphase and another one which is good for time measurement since it counts seconds and miliseconds on two different displays.
