The latest report from Bloomberg expert Mark Gurman said that Apple is planning to introduce the Apple Watch Ultra 2 this fall, at the same time as the next generation iPhone series.
Will Apple stick to a once-a-year cycle of releasing a new premium smartwatch?
With the Apple Watch Ultra 2 launching later this year, Apple may be aiming to keep a similar release cycle to its regular watches. The original Apple Watch Ultra launched in September last year, so September would be the perfect time for the second-generation product to arrive.
However, previous rumors have suggested that Apple may take some time to finalize the second-generation Watch Ultra, which could push the product to market by at least a year. That’s entirely possible, as the Apple Watch Ultra isn’t a standard product, and Apple appears to be working on more advanced features for the product that will take longer to finalize.
Previously, a report from Digitimes suggested that the product's launch date would be 2024. The source said that the Watch Ultra 2 will come with a 2.1-inch display - a significant upgrade from the 1.92-inch display on the first Watch Ultra. Not only the size, but Apple may also consider switching screen technology. Specifically, it will use a microLED panel instead of OLED, and that could lead to a brighter screen with the ability to display vibrant colors. Gurman also corroborated this information when saying that Apple has been expanding the use of microLED screens across its product lines, so it would be confusing if the Watch Ultra 2 did not use this screen.
Additionally, another reliable expert, Ross Young from DSCC, also said that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 switching to a microLED display could become a reality, but that would only happen in 2025.
