Leak in iOS 26 Beta Indicates Apple Watch Ultra 3 Will Arrive with Improvements in Performance, Health Features, and Unique Connectivity for Areas Without Signal
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 may debut this fall with a larger display, new processor, and satellite communication features, according to information extracted from the public beta of iOS 26. This discovery comes just over a month before the Apple’s annual event, when the iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 are also expected to be announced.
New Screen Size and Design Changes
Images found in iOS 26 indicate that the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 will have a resolution of 422 x 514 pixels, surpassing the 410 x 502 of the previous model. This increase suggests thinner bezels and optimized space usage, maintaining the same case size already used in the Ultra line.
There is no confirmation yet about significant external design changes. The expectation is that Apple will maintain the robustness of the Ultra, focused on sports, adventure, and extreme use, but with better utilization of the display area.

Scientists have created robots made with living cells that have their own nervous system, swim on their own, explore the environment, and self-organize without any genetic engineering, and now they want to do the same with human cells.

Students create a solar-powered ambulance that operates without a plug, without fuel, and still keeps medical equipment running in remote areas.
According to the information obtained, this change follows the company’s strategy to enlarge the screen without compromising comfort during daily use, especially during prolonged physical activities.
Performance with S11 Chip and New Features
The launch is expected to bring the S11 chip, the same one slated for the Apple Watch Series 11, ensuring faster performance and greater energy efficiency. This gain may allow for improvements in GPS tracking, greater integration with artificial intelligence features, and support for advanced functions of watchOS 26, such as Workout Buddy.
Additionally, rumors indicate 5G connectivity and the long-awaited satellite communication for sending messages and sharing location in areas without cellular coverage.
If confirmed, this feature will expand the range of existing security features, such as emergency SOS, fall detection, and car accident detection.
Enhanced Health and Fitness Features
Another anticipated highlight is the inclusion of blood pressure monitoring, currently in internal testing. However, precision issues may delay the launch of this feature for future versions.
The widely speculated blood glucose monitoring is still far from being implemented, according to sources close to Apple.
Meanwhile, the internal project “Project Mulberry” aims to expand health features with personalized analyses based on artificial intelligence, increasing the potential use of the Apple Watch as an ally in fitness and well-being.
Battery Life and Fast Charging
The Apple Watch Ultra is recognized for its long battery life, reaching up to 72 hours in low power mode. With the S11 chip and more efficient display, the Ultra 3 could achieve up to four days of continuous use in this mode.
Another expectation is the inclusion of fast charging already present in the Series 10, reducing the time off the wrist and optimizing the experience for users who also use the watch for sleep monitoring.
These improvements keep the Ultra as a benchmark in battery durability in Apple’s portfolio.
Release Date and Price
Following the brand’s pattern, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to be announced alongside the iPhone 17 and the Apple Watch Series 11, at an event scheduled for early September.
Pre-orders are expected to begin a few days after the announcement, with deliveries estimated to be one to two weeks later.
The starting price is expected to remain at US$ 799, barring possible adjustments due to component costs or international tariffs.
The information was revealed by MacRumors and detailed in a report by CNET, based on images located in the public beta of iOS 26. According to the portals, the data strongly confirms indications that the launch will occur in 2025, following the two-year cycle of the Ultra line.
