iOS 26 hints at bigger Apple Watch Ultra 3 display and exciting new features
Apple's upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 3 might be set for a notable display upgrade, according to clues uncovered in the iOS 26 developer beta. The code and graphical assets within the update indicate a new screen resolution of 422 x 514 pixels, an increase from the 410 x 502 pixels found on the current Ultra 2 model. Though this change might seem minor, it could signal a slightly bigger physical display or slimmer bezels, providing users with more screen real estate to interact with. While the difference may seem small, it hints at either slightly increased physical dimensions or slimmer bezels to give users more usable screen area. In the realm of wearable tech, where every millimeter is precious, this enhancement could significantly boost readability, improve touch responsiveness, and create a more immersive user interface experience.

Apple Watch 11 — all the biggest rumored so far
• The Apple Watch 11 and Ultra 3 may finally get blood pressure monitoring • Apple's next-gen smartwatches could sport an onboard camera• 5G connectivity and satellite texting is rumored for the Ultra 3 but could also come to the Series 11• A more energy-efficient screen could mean better battery life for the Series 11• The Apple Watch 11 might get a sleep score at last Few things are certain in this zany world. But there are some facts I'm sure of. For example, the sun will rise and set tomorrow, the taxman will eventually come a-knockin' and Apple will launch a new Apple Watch in the fall. Last year marked the brand's tenth consecutive Apple Watch release with the debut of the Series 10, and all signs point to the annual release schedule continuing in 2025. The question is, what new features, tech, and advancements will the Apple Watch 11 have to offer? I've been monitoring all the Apple Watch 11 leaks and rumors since even before the Apple Watch 10 arrived in September 2024. Here is everything I know about the forthcoming Series 11, plus a handful of educated predictions. The Apple Watch Series 11 will likely launch in September 2025 alongside the iPhone 17, assuming Apple sticks with its usual pattern of rolling out new devices in the fall ahead of the holiday shopping season. Rumors suggest that the Apple Watch SE 3 — also expected in 2025 along with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 —may see a price drop, but don't count on the same for the Series 11. My hunch is the Apple Watch 11 will cost roughly the same as the Series 10, which starts at $399 for the smaller 42mm non-cellular model and $429 for the larger 46mm non-cellular device. There's not long to go till Apple drops its new devices, so let's jump into those juicy design-related rumors. The first is a potential upgrade to a more energy-efficient display technology, possibly LTPO or Micro-LED, although the latter now seems like a no-go. The advantages of switching from OLED to a newer display technology are numerous and include not just better battery life but also the possibility for greater pixel density. That would result in better resolution, along with increased brightness and saturation potential. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Beyond display improvements, I wouldn't count on any other significant physical changes to the design of the Apple Watch 11 compared to the Series 10. The latest generation ushered in sleeker and lighter cases with larger displays compared to the Series 9, and I fully expect the physical dimensions of the Series 11 to be a match with the Series 10. That said, according to a report in Bloomberg by Mark Gurman, an onboard camera could be coming to future Apple Watch models. If one does appear in the Series 11, it will most likely be hidden within the display of the device. While on the Ultra Series, Gurman says that the camera will sit along the side of the case near the crown. Presently, no Apple Watch model supports Facetime video calls. Could the addition of a camera change that? Probably not, says Gurman. Instead, the cameras will likely power Apple's Visual Intelligence features on the watches. Due to Apple's ongoing legal battle with rival Masimo, the latest Series 10 smartwatches launched in the U.S. with the SpO2 monitoring tech disabled. Will blood oxygen measurements make a comeback in the Apple Watch 11? Your guess is as good as mine. Still, all signs point to the forthcoming crop of Apple Watches (finally) debuting a blood pressure monitoring feature. However, blood-glucose tracking still seems like a long way off. If the rumor proves true, the latest-gen Apple Watch models could warn users if early signs of hypertension are detected. Like sleep apnea, hypertension often goes undiagnosed but is quite deadly, causing nearly 13% of all deaths worldwide, according to the WHO, making this potential new feature a very big deal. Unfortunately, Apple recently admitted that the rollout of Siri 2.0 is behind schedule for iOS, so, a smarter Siri on watchOS may be an even longer wait. Other possible upgrades include a move from 4G LTE to 5G tech, which would likely result in slightly faster speeds for data plan folks. There's additionally a chance that the Series 11 will support satellite messaging, however, that feature may end up being reserved for the Ultra 3 only. We do know that the new Series 11 will launch with Apple's WatchOS 26 operating system, paired with a zippier and more efficient S12 processor. I've been testing the Watch OS26 beta, and from a fitness point of view, the biggest upgrade is Apple's Workout Buddy feature, which uses AI to give you prompts during workouts. That said, the public beta isn't the finished article, so there might be new metrics within watchOS 26 when it rolls out this fall. I'd love to see a daily energy score from one to 100 based on recent fitness efforts, sleep quality, and other holistic trends. I'd also love a sleep score, which is something Apple has been missing for years. I'm hopeful that the Apple Watch Series 11 is the first in the brand's longest-running smartwatch line to crack the 18-hour battery life mark. I'm hopeful that the Apple Watch Series 11 is the first in the brand's longest-running smartwatch line to crack the 18-hour battery life mark. Better power management by way of a more efficient display is likely the ticket to that achievement and it'd be great to see the Series 11 offer both a better screen and greater longevity. A smartwatch editor can dream, but we don't have all that long to wait.

Apple may have accidentally leaked Watch Ultra 3, likely to launch with iPhone 17 in September
Apple's upcoming premium smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra 3, may have been revealed through the latest iOS 26 beta. A reference image discovered by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris shows a watch display resolution of 422 x 514 pixels, a size that does not match any existing Apple Watch resolution is slightly larger than the current Apple Watch Ultra 2 device, which has a 410 x 502 display resolution. While there are no signs of the casing getting bigger, the increase in screen size could be due to slimmer bezels. The Ultra 3 is expected to be announced next month, alongside the new iPhone 17 range and the Apple Watch Series suggest that the Ultra 3 could bring upgrades such as satellite connectivity for off-grid communication, a brighter display with a faster refresh rate, and a new processor. There is also speculation about new health features, possibly including blood pressure monitoring. The iPhone 17 series is also tipped to get notable changes. A new model, called the iPhone 17 Air, might replace the Plus variant. It is rumoured to have a slimmer body, around 2mm thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro and a 6.6-inch display. The regular iPhone 17 could grow from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the Pro Max is expected to retain its 6.9-inch changes could make the Pro models stand out, with a new rear camera layout running across the width of the phone and more rounded corners for a smoother look. The camera system could also see improvements. The front camera is said to get an upgrade from 12 megapixels to 24 megapixels, which should improve selfies and video quality. The base iPhone 17 is expected to keep a dual-camera setup with a 48-megapixel main sensor, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could feature three 48-megapixel cameras for main, ultrawide, and telephoto shots, along with support for 8K video upgrades are also on the cards. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could use the new A19 Pro chip, while the standard iPhone 17 may get the A18 chip from the iPhone 16. RAM is likely to increase to 12GB for the top model and up to 8GB for the base versions. The battery capacities are expected to increase to power the larger displays, and the regular iPhone 17 may see the biggest increase. Apple could also introduce 35W fast charging for quicker top-ups. The Pro Max might come with a vapour chamber cooling system to manage performance during heavy use. But, since these details are not officially confirmed by Apple, users are advised to take them with a pinch of salt.- Ends

Mark your calendars — iPhone 17 release date may have just leaked
Thanks to the German site iPhone Ticker (spotted by AppleInsider), we may know when Apple's iPhone 17 will be revealed. Based on information from German mobile providers, iPhone Ticker reports the iPhone 17 event will take place on Tuesday, September 9. It fits with Apple's usual September schedule. Last year's iPhone 16 'Glowtime' release was also on September 9, which was a Monday. Typically, preorders for Apple's newest devices start on the following Friday, which would be September 10 if this report proves true. From there the first shipments could start arriving around September 20. September 20 is also the date the German site reported the iPhone 17 will be available in stores. This year, we expect Apple to debut the usual four phones in the iPhone 17 lineup with one big change. Alongside the base model iPhone 17, the Pro model iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, it's been rumored that Apple is dropping the Plus model in favor of the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air. Beyond the super-thin phone, the Pro models should feature a redesigned camera array that's more Google Pixel-esque. They also might feature aluminum frames, a better telephoto lens and 12GB of RAM. This might be the last time Apple releases those four models together. We've seen rumors that Apple might split the iPhone 18 launch in two with the vanilla model and the budget-friendly iPhone 17e launching in the spring of 2027. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It would reserve next year's iPhone 18 launch for the Pro models including a potential iPhone Fold. In addition to the phones, we could also see the new Apple Watch Series 11, and potentially a new Apple Watch Ultra 3 and SE 3. We're hoping for some big upgrades. A leaked Apple timeline indicated the Apple Watch 11 and Ultra 3 are coming this year, but it didn't have information about any SE models. Both the Ultra 3 and Series 11 could be the first Apple Watches to get blood pressure monitoring, though the Masimo lawsuit is still ongoing as of this writing. We also might see the third-generation AirPods Pro. Though that same timeline suggested we won't see those until 2026. However, the headphones have been teased in iOS 26 code hinting at a sooner release. Potentially, Apple might debut the AI-powered HomePod 3, though its just as likely the smart home hub won't launch until later in the fall.
