Apple Watch Ultra 3 launch 'tipped off'
Apple is expected to unveil the much-anticipated Apple Watch Ultra 3 later this year, according to noted analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Tech Research. The rugged third-generation smartwatch could debut alongside the Apple Watch Series 11 and the iPhone 17 lineup at Apple's annual September launch event. While initial reports hinted at a 2024 launch, the new timeline places the Ultra 3 firmly in the spotlight for 2025. If true, it would mark one of Apple's most expansive product launches in years. Pu's roadmap, which outlines Apple's plans through 2027, also hints at the simultaneous debut of a new smart speaker — potentially the HomePod 6. The last major upgrade to the Ultra line came in 2023 with the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Since then, Apple has only introduced a new color option, leaving fans eager for more substantial improvements. Now, expectations are mounting for the Ultra 3 to bring meaningful changes — including improved battery life, an enhanced LTPO 3 OLED display, and potentially even satellite connectivity, a feature long speculated by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. What to Expect: Apple Watch Ultra 3: Longer battery life, upgraded display, satellite support (rumored) Apple Watch Series 11 iPhone 17 lineup New HomePod model (possibly HomePod 6) At Apple's recent WWDC 2025, the company also introduced watchOS 26, featuring a redesigned interface and smarter tools for health tracking, messaging, and daily productivity — likely to power the new Apple Watches out of the box. Looking ahead, Pu forecasts an exciting future for Apple's wearables: 2026: Launch of Apple Watch Series 12 and third-gen AirPods Pro 2027: Introduction of blood pressure monitoring in Apple Watch, Apple smart glasses, and a budget-friendly "Vision Air" mixed-reality headset These predictions align with earlier insights from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who also pegged 2025 for the Apple Watch Ultra 3's debut. With both analysts echoing similar timelines, Apple seems poised for a major overhaul across its devices in the coming years. Stay tuned as September draws closer — Apple's fall event could reshape the future of its wearable and mobile tech ecosystem.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 tipped to launch this year alongside Series 11 and iPhone 17
American tech giant Apple may finally unveil the long-awaited Apple Watch Ultra 3 later this year, according to prominent analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong International Tech Research. While earlier speculation pointed to a 2024 debut, the rugged smartwatch is now expected to arrive alongside the Apple Watch Series 11 and the iPhone 17 lineup at the company's annual September event. Jeff Pu's latest report, which outlines Apple's product roadmap through to 2027, also indicates that a new HomePod model, reportedly dubbed the HomePod 6, could be launched at the same time. Notably, if the predictions hold, 2025 could mark one of Apple's most expansive autumn launches in recent years. Though Apple introduced the Watch Ultra 2 in September 2023, the company has since remained quiet about the next iteration. The only update since has been a new colourway for the Ultra 2, leaving enthusiasts eagerly awaiting more substantial upgrades. Rumours suggest the Watch Ultra 3 could feature improved battery life, an upgraded LTPO 3 OLED display, and possibly even satellite connectivity, a feature hinted at by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Looking further ahead, Pu claims the Apple Watch Series 12 and the third-generation AirPods Pro are likely to be introduced in 2026. Meanwhile, 2027 could be a breakthrough year for Apple's wearable technology, with the first smartwatch expected to include blood pressure monitoring. The year could also see the launch of Apple's long-rumoured smart glasses and a more budget-friendly 'Vision Air' mixed-reality headset. Jeff Pu's timeline appears to align with earlier projections by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who also suggested a 2025 release for the Watch Ultra 3. With multiple sources converging on similar timelines, anticipation is building for a major refresh across Apple's hardware ecosystem in the coming years. To recall, Apple also recently announced watchOS 26 at its WWDC 2025, the latest version of its Apple Watch software. The update brings a new design and smarter features focused on fitness, messaging, and daily use.
