FULL STORY
======================================================================

As our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review will tell you, we're big fans of the 
premium smartwatch line that Apple introduced last year  but there's a rumor 
that we won't see the Apple Watch Ultra 3 show up in 2024. 

This comes from reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors ), who 
says the chances of the wearable making an appearance next year are 
"decreasing". It seems that development has yet to officially start on the 
device, which means it's behind schedule. 

If the wheels aren't in motion on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 by December, Kuo 
says, Apple would almost certainly not have time to get it out before 2025. 
Both previous models have been unveiled at events Apple has held in 
September. 

As for the reason behind the delay, Kuo thinks that integrating new features 
(including "innovative health management features") and issues related to the 
rumored switch to micro-LED displays could be holding everything up.

Apple usually releases its smartwatches every year like clockwork (or should 
that be watchwork?). Only the original 1st-gen Apple Watch and the Apple 
Watch 7 weren't launched in September  they appeared in April 2015 and 
October 2021 (in the midst of a global pandemic) respectively. 

Considering that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 wasn't much of an upgrade over its 
predecessor  a brighter screen being the main highlight  it's possible that 
Apple is preparing a much more significant swathe of improvements next time 
around. 

That would certainly complicate every stage of the development, from initial 
research to production line manufacturing. Still, it seems strange that work 
hasn't properly started on the wearable if Kuo's information is accurate (and 
it usually is). 

Next up for Apple is a launch event scheduled for Monday, October 30 (or 
Tuesday, October 31, depending on where in the world you are). It's almost 
certainly going to involve Macs though, with Apple's mobile and wearable 
launches all done for this year. You might also like The Apple Watch's Double
