Apple Watch Ultra 3 could go big on display perks without getting bigger
In the smartwatch community, you predominantly come across two factions. One seeks a small and stylish package, while the other chases a bigger display to get meaningful work done on it. With its next performance and endurance-focused Ultra smartwatch, Apple is apparently going to address the needs of the latter class. According to a Macrumors report, which cites the mention of a new display resolution for an unannounced smartwatch in Apple's codebase, the next-generation Apple Watch Ultra will feature a bigger display without increasing the wearable's overall footprint. How? Shrink the bezels, apparently. Recommended Videos The report mentions a new 422×514 pixels display resolution, which eclipses the 410×502 pixels screen resolution on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It is more plausible that Apple has simply trimmed the bezels to achieve more screen real estate (which would explain the jump in the resolution) instead of redesigning the entire chassis. The former seems more likely, especially considering Apple's long history of using the same fundamental design language for at least a few years before making any major changes. The best example would be the Apple Watch Series 10, which merely got a slimmed-down treatment compared to its predecessors, while the Apple Watch Series 7 merely added a curved display into the mix. A meaty upgrade? According to leaks and Bloomberg reports, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will bring a few key upgrades to the table. In addition to a larger display, it will also shift to an upgraded OLED panel with wider viewing angles. More importantly, Apple will reportedly go for a higher refresh rate, as well, and increase the brightness output, too. The more meaningful upgrades will be support for satellite connectivity. Apple has already extended the convenience to iPhones, and it would be fitting to put it on a smartwatch that is aimed at sports and outdoor activity enthusiasts. 'The technology will let smartwatch users send off-the-grid text messages via Globalstar Inc.'s fleet of satellites when they don't have a cellular or Wi-Fi connection,' says a Bloomberg report. The report also mentions support for blood pressure monitoring, but it's unclear whether the feature will be ready for the Fall launch schedule in 2025. Another crucial upgrade would be support for 5G connectivity, marking a generational shift over the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which currently supports only 4G LTE connectivity. The third-generation Apple Watch Ultra will reportedly add support for 5G Redcap, a slightly slower 5G connectivity flavor that is suited for low-power devices. Overall, it seems like Apple's next Ultra smartwatch will be a big generation over generation upgrade despite looking the same as its predecessors.

Apple's next-gen Public Betas may drop next week – iOS, macOS, watchOS included: Gurman
Apple is expected to roll out public beta versions of its upcoming operating systems, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, as early as next week, reported Macrumors. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the release could happen on or around Wednesday, 23 July. This timeline aligns with Apple's usual software update cycle, which typically sees public betas arrive a few weeks after the developer previews. The public beta programme will likely cover a wide range of software updates this year. These could include iOS 26 for iPhones, iPadOS 26 for iPads, macOS 26 for Mac computers, tvOS 26 for Apple TV, watchOS 26 for Apple Watch, and HomePod Software 26. Additionally, Apple is expected to make new firmware available for AirPods as part of the beta testing phase. However, Apple has confirmed on its website that it does not intend to release a public beta of visionOS 26, the software powering its Vision Pro headset. This decision suggests that visionOS remains in a more controlled phase of testing, likely due to the limited number of Vision Pro units in circulation and the specialised nature of the platform. Anyone interested in testing the new software ahead of the official launch can sign up for Apple's Beta Software Programme at no cost. Once enrolled, users will be able to download and install the trial versions of the software on their devices. As is always advised with beta releases, users should ensure their data is backed up in case any bugs or performance issues arise during testing. For developers, the beta versions of all the listed software have already been available for some time, the report added. Reportedly, Apple made a key policy change a few years ago, allowing anyone with an Apple Developer account to access early software builds without paying the $99 annual fee traditionally required for the Apple Developer Programme. Nevertheless, members of the general public are encouraged to wait for the public beta releases, which are generally more stable than the initial developer builds.
