Apple plans to launch the Apple Watch Ultra 3 this year, marking the first major update to its premium smartwatch since 2023.
Release Timeline
According to analyst Jeff Pu from GF Securities Hong Kong, Apple will release the Ultra 3 alongside:
- Apple Watch Series 11
- iPhone 17 lineup
- Expected launch date: September 2025
Why Such a Long Gap?
In 2024, Apple only added a black titanium color to the Ultra 2 instead of releasing a new model. This means the Ultra line hasn’t seen significant changes in almost two years.
New Features
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman says the Ultra 3 may include:
- Satellite connectivity
- 5G capabilities
These features could explain why Apple took extra development time.
Other Apple Products for 2025
Pu’s report also mentions:
- New HomePad tablet coming in 2025
- AirPods Pro 3 delayed until 2026
What This Means for Customers
The longer development period suggests bigger improvements than usual yearly updates. Current Ultra owners, especially those with first-generation devices, might find significant upgrades worth the wait.
The expected September release aligns with Apple’s usual product launch schedule, though Apple hasn’t officially confirmed any details about the Ultra 3.
