The anticipation for the release of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is growing as rumors suggest it will be unveiled in autumn 2025. Apple’s track record with the previous generations of the Apple Watch Ultra has seen a consistent release pattern, with the first generation launching in 2022, followed by the second generation in 2023, and a new color variation introduced just six months ago.
According to supplier analyst Jeff Pu from GF Securities in Hong Kong, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to be launched alongside the Apple Watch Series 11 in September 2025. This new generation is set to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and other smartwatches in the market.
The roadmap for Apple’s upcoming releases also includes the AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 12, a new HomePad 6″ device, Vision Pro, Vision, Air, Smart Glasses, and an Apple Watch with blood monitoring capabilities. The Ultra 3 is rumored to feature third-generation mobile communications and a direct satellite connection, moving away from LTE technology.
While there have been speculations about the Ultra 3 adopting a new display with micro-LED technology, it remains uncertain if this feature will be included in the final product. Additionally, Apple is facing legal challenges regarding the oxygen saturation measurement feature on its watches. The company had to disable this feature in the USA due to a patent dispute with Masimo, a US-based company.
Despite these challenges, users are eager for the release of the Ultra 3, especially if it retains the oxygen saturation measurement feature and maintains a healthy battery life. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to offer innovative features and improvements over its predecessors, making it a highly anticipated product in the smartwatch market.
