The larger resolution suggests Apple has trimmed bezel width to expand the viewing area without altering the watch&#8217;s overall dimensions. <\/p>\n<p>This should give the Ultra 3 the biggest Apple Watch display yet, enhancing readability and making better use of the rugged design&#8217;s expansive front surface. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond the new display dimension, the Ultra 3 is expected to get an improved display that brings it in line with the upgrade that last year&#8217;s Apple Watch Series 10 received. The Series 10 debuted with an LPTO3 OLED always-on Retina display, a step up from the Ultra 2&#8217;s LTPO2 panel. The upgrade gives the Series 10 a faster refresh rate in always-on mode, making it possible for watch faces to feature a continuously ticking seconds hand.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Apple introduced a wide-angle OLED on the Series 10, which delivers up to 40% more brightness when viewed off-axis compared to the Ultra&#8217;s OLED display. We expect the Apple Watch Ultra 3 to inherit the same capability.<\/p>\n<p>Satellite messaging capabilities and 5G connectivity are also expected for the Ultra 3.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 received a black titanium case option, but apart from that, the Ultra model has not seen any hardware upgrades since 2023. Apple is expected to unveil the Apple Watch Ultra 3 later today at its &#8220;Awe dropping&#8221; event, alongside new iPhone 17 models, Apple Watch Series 11 models, and AirPods Pro 3.
