Amidst all the rumors swirling about the upcoming iPad lineup and how it might be OLED equipped, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has thrown a curveball on the Apple Watch Ultra 3. After suggesting a possible delay, Kuo now expects a new Ultra model in 2024. However, there’s a catch: it likely won’t boast significant hardware advancements compared to the Ultra 2. Specific details about the Apple Watch Ultra 3 remain under wraps, with a September launch timeframe the only confirmed information so far.

Looking beyond the Ultra line, the possibility of a third-generation Apple Watch SE launching this year exists if Apple sticks to its two-year update cycle. The fate of the Apple Watch Series 9 successor remains unclear. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously hinted at a redesigned “Apple Watch X” with blood pressure and sleep apnea features, but its launch window and official name are uncertain.

Interestingly, Gurman’s suggested features for the Series 9 successor could potentially make their way to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 as well. With the original Apple Watch nearing its tenth anniversary (unveiled in September 2014, launched in April 2015), all eyes are on Apple’s upcoming smartwatch announcements.
