iOS 26 Hints At Bigger Apple Watch Ultra 3 Display, Plus 5 More Rumored Features
With iOS 26 beta 5 now available to developers, Apple has added several features and made a few improvements to the iPhone software experience. However, alongside these new features, the company has also leaked an Apple Watch image with a resolution that doesn't match any of its current smartwatches. The most likely explanation is that this image is a reference to the long-anticipated Apple Watch Ultra 3. According to MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, the image features a resolution of 422 x 512, which might be also be the resolution of the unannounced Apple Watch Ultra 3. As a point of comparison, the current Ultra 2 features a 410 x 502 resolution display. While it's unlikely that Apple will change the casing of the Apple Watch, it's possible that the company will make the bezels thinner, which could make the display slightly larger. Over the years, we've seen Apple make slight adjustments to the display, which helps make the Apple Watch experience more immersive and shows users more data at a glance.

These are the potential upgrades expected for the 2025 upgrade: 5G support: According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to move from Intel 4G chips to new MediaTek 5G modems. While the watch is expected to adopt 5G RedCap, which is a low-tier 5G service, it will be much faster than current cellular speeds. Blood pressure tracking: The journalist also believes Apple will add blood pressure tracking support on this model. At first, this technology will only indicate if one's blood pressure is in a normal range, similar to the sleep apnea detection feature. Improved display: The Apple Watch Ultra 3 should have the same display tech as the Apple Watch Series 10, which lets the display refresh every second, showing the seconds of the Watch Face without compromising battery life. Better processor: The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to get a new S11 SoC, which could be optimized to run some of the less-taxing AI features. Impressive battery life: To maintain the impressive battery life of the previous Apple Watch Ultra models, the company will have to continue to improve hardware and software features. That's everything we know (and think we know, based on the rumors and reports) about the Apple Watch Ultra 3 so far. We'll let you know once we learn more about this wearable.

iOS 26 beta hints at bigger display for Apple Watch Ultra 3
Apple is expected to launch its next generation Apple Watch Ultra 3 at the company iPhone launch event this year. As per rumours, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 series smartphones and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 next month. Now a new online report reveals a feature expected to come in Apple Watch Ultra 3. As reported by MacRumours, the latest iOS 26 beta suggests that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may sport a slightly larger display as compared to its predecessor. The leaked assets, uncovered by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, show a resolution of 422 x 514 pixels, up from the 410 x 502 resolution found on the current Apple Watch Ultra 2. While the physical casing size of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is not explicitly confirmed to be larger, the increased resolution strongly suggests either a slightly bigger overall display or, more likely, a reduction in bezel size to accommodate the enhanced screen within a similar form factor. This potential display bump, though seemingly minor in terms of raw pixel count, could translate to a more immersive and user-friendly experience, allowing for more information to be displayed at a glance or providing a more expansive canvas for watchOS features.
