Apple may have accidentally tipped its hand with the latest iOS 26 beta: Imagery found within the build display pictures of an Apple Watch Ultra that doesn’t match any existing products.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 imagery was discovered by MacRumors, and the resolution of the new Apple Watch’s display doesn’t match any other product. That might confirm that this model is Apple’s new wearable, which is set to release this fall.
An Apple representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The new Apple Watch could have a slightly larger display size than its predecessor, according to the discovered images. Whereas the Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a 410×512-pixel display resolution, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 could have a 422×514-pixel resolution. This is a nice bump over one of the best (and most expensive) smart watches on the market right now.
We don’t know exactly when Apple will officially unveil the Apple Watch Ultra 3, but it will likely be shown off alongside the Series 11 Apple Watch models and the iPhone 17 in September. While we haven’t been able to officially pencil in a date for the iPhone event, it’s likely that it will take place around Sept. 9.
The Ultra 3 has already been rumored to be on the receiving end of several upgrades, including satellite connectivity and 5G support. The confirmation of a larger display size may lend credence to some of the other rumors circulating now.
