Prominent Apple supply chain analyst, Ming-Chi Kuorecently predicted that the next generation of Apple Watch Ultra 3 e Apple Watch SE 3 will hit the market in 2025This is a prediction that lines up perfectly with the rumors that have been circulating in recent months regarding Apple’s future plans for its flagship smartwatches.
No Apple Watch Ultra 3 in 2024: Here’s What We Know
Almost a year ago, Kuo had already predicted that there would be no Apple Watch Ultra 3 in 2024, a prediction that turned out to be correct. During the September event, in fact, Apple announced only theApple Watch Series 10introducing some new features and a variant in Satin Black dell’Apple Watch Ultra 2but without significant innovations in terms of design or technology.
As for theApple Watch SEno updated version has been released. As a result, those hoping for a new model will have to wait for the next update cycle, which Kuo predicts will occur in 2025.
According to Kuo, both the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3 will likely be introduced in September 2025, following Apple’s traditional fall launch schedule. While not many details about the features of these models have been disclosed, the next-generation Ultra is expected to include significant improvements in performance and battery life, as well as new aesthetic options, perhaps with new materials or exclusive colors.
L’Apple Watch SE 3instead, will continue to represent the most affordable choice in Apple’s smartwatch range, aiming to offer a balanced experience with essential features at a competitive price.
A wait that can do good
Apple’s choice not to release a new Apple Watch Ultra every year is not a negative surprise at all. In fact, I think taking more time to develop real and meaningful innovations is a winning move. As the smartwatch market matures, consumers are no longer looking for an annual update just to change their look, but they want real technological innovationsand it seems that Apple wants to follow this line.
Additionally, while the Apple Watch Ultra is one of the most premium devices in Apple’s ecosystem, the fact that it’s only receiving minor cosmetic overhauls, like a new Satin Black color, shows that the company prefers to keep a slower, more sustainable pace for high-end product updates, focusing on delivering real new features when the time is right.
If the Apple Watch Ultra 3 really does see the light in 2025, I expect a generation that will mark a technological leap relevant, especially in terms of health, fitness and battery life, which are crucial aspects for the most demanding smartwatch users.
