A fresh leak reveals that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will have a significantly larger display than its predecessor, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (€ 870.00 *). This means more screen area and fewer bezels – a real upgrade.
Highlights
- The display resolution increases from 502 × 410 pixels to 514 × 422 pixels
- This means 2.9% more width, 2.3% more height and a total of 5.4% more display area
- The physical frame will presumably remain the same, which suggests narrower edges
- Advanced features such as 5G, satellite messaging, S10/S11 chip and possibly blood pressure detection are also expected
Larger display thanks to higher resolution
The colleagues at MacRumors have taken a closer look at the beta version of the new iOS 26. In doing so, they came across hints about new features of the upcoming Apple Watch Ultra. The OLED display of the Ultra 3 revealed in the leak comes with 514 × 422 pixels, compared to 502 × 410 of its predecessor.
The pixel density is expected to remain unchanged, making the display 2.9% wider and 2.3% taller – resulting in a 5.4% larger surface area overall. The presumably unchanged housing size suggests that Apple is realizing a larger viewing area through narrower display edges (bezels) – visually, the Ultra 3 looks more modern and minimalist.
New display apparently with a better viewing angle
Leaks point to slimmer bezels and an overall thinner casing – the Ultra 3 should be more ergonomic and lighter than its predecessor without losing any of its robustness. At the same time, the panel is said to offer a wider field of vision and higher-quality OLED material, which improves readability at different viewing angles.
New features at a glance
According to initial reports, the Ultra 3 brings a number of significant functional enhancements:
- S10 or S11 SiP for more performance and efficiency, taken from the Series 10 range
- 5G RedCap modem instead of LTE, which makes data connections faster and more stable
- Satellite messaging, for example via Globalstar, for communication without mobile phone reception – especially for outdoor or emergency use
- Blood pressure warning function that measures data without an arm cuff and alerts users to possible risks of hypertension
What does this mean for users?
A larger display with the same housing size ensures:
- Best field of vision when reading, navigating or playing games – less scrolling, more overview
- More modern design thanks to a minimalist look and feel with the same convenient size
- More functions: 5G, satellite, advanced health features – ideal for active users, IT professionals or travelers
The combination of technology updates and display optimization could make the Apple Watch Ultra 3 an attractive upgrade – especially for users who own current Ultra models but still want to invest in future-proofing.
Conclusion
The leak offers a realistic and plausible first look at the Apple Watch Ultra 3: with a 514 × 422 pixel display, 5.4% more surface area, narrower bezels and new functions such as 5G, satellite communication and blood pressure alerts, the model looks like a sensible evolution. With a presentation in September 2025, a price level similar to that of previous Ultas can be expected. Availability is likely to start immediately after the order launch close to the event.
