Apple Watch Ultra has become the object of desire for many since its arrival on the market in September of last year, moreover, it has more than significantly raised the ceiling of the top of the offer in the smart watch sector. Large size, with a case of 49 millimeters in diameter, which is stored 1.93-inch Always-On OLED displayand also in features and benefits, as we already told you on the day of its launch, there is no doubt that Apple wanted to go big with its new watch.

Of course, not everything about the Apple Watch Ultra is positive. From the very high repair costs if you don’t have an AppleCare+ contract, to the problems that occur with Crash Detection (although it’s not unique to this model), no device is perfect, and even less so in its first generation. However, it does not seem to have a deterrent effect on the legion of more than interested parties, despite its more than high price, which we remember starts at 999 euros.

However, we must remember that the Apple Watch Ultra It is not aimed, at least in principle, at the general public. Apple has already specified in its presentation that it is targeting sports professionals in particular (whether they do it professionally or do it as a private activity) who need quantification, monitoring and assistance devices for their sports activities. To verify that this is indeed the case, it is enough to check not so much its specifications as its functions. Although of course, just as there are people who buy SUVs to get around town (and they are of course within their legitimate rights), we can assume that the same will happen with the Apple Watch Ultra.

Since only the first generation has been introduced at this point, we have no certainty if Apple will renew it every year, as it does with the Watch Series, or if, on the contrary, it will spread out a little over time. If we start from the iPhone Pro and Ultra, we can think that he will choose the first option, but of course the smartwatch market is quite different from the smartphone market, where users don’t change devices as often. However, rumors are sure to clear us up before we get to the Watch Series 9 launch.

Be that as it may, the leaks that we can read in Digitimes tell us Apple is preparing a larger Apple Watch Ultra with a MicroLED screen for 2024. The choice of 2024 for its launch would be mainly due to the fact that the company expects the price of MicroLED panels to decrease. Recall that the main difference between MiniLED and MicroLED is related to the size of the LEDs, which are between 100 and 200 microns for mini screens, while they are less than 100 microns for micro.

So Apple’s plans are the Apple Watch Ultra of 2024 they have a 2.1-inch displayso we are talking about an increase of almost 10% and therefore the first Apple Watch with a case larger than 50 millimeters.
