Apple Watch Ultra 3 – Leak

The leak was found by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris based on an image of an Apple Watch in the latest iOS 26 beta. It shows a resolution that doesn’t match any current models.

According to the image, the Watch Ultra 3 could feature a resolution of 422 x 514 pixels. This is an increase over the 410 x 502 resolution found on the first- and second-generation Watch Ultra models, which sport 1.92-inch displays.

While there’s no indication that Apple will increase the casing size, the boost in resolution may be the result of thinner bezels, allowing more screen real estate within the same overall dimensions.

In addition to the larger display, previous rumours have already hinted at other upgrades. These would most likely include satellite connectivity for off-grid communication, a brighter display with a higher refresh rate, a new chip and potentially new health features such as blood pressure monitoring.

As for the launch, Apple is expected to officially unveil the Apple Watch Ultra 3 this fall. It would most likely be alongside the iPhone 17 lineup and the Apple Watch Series 11.
