As excitement builds for Apple's upcoming event, recent reports suggest that the long-rumored Apple Watch Ultra 3 may not make an appearance this year. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is likely to focus on introducing a new black titanium color option for the current Apple Watch Ultra 2 instead.
The absence of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 from this year's event aligns with earlier insights from Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo speculated last year that Apple might hold off on launching the next-generation Ultra model, in part to allow more time for the development of advanced health management features. Apple's dedication to pushing health technology boundaries, such as improved health monitoring and fitness tracking capabilities, likely plays a role in the delayed timeline for the Ultra 3.
While Apple’s decision to hold off on a new Ultra model may surprise some, the addition of a black titanium option for the Ultra 2 could still generate buzz. This color choice was initially rumored to debut last year but was ultimately not introduced, leaving fans speculating. With a rugged yet sleek new aesthetic, the black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 could appeal to users looking for both durability and style.
