Despite the release of the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3, it seems that supply chain officials are already talking about the 2026 Apple Watch.
The 2026 Apple Watch is expected to undergo significant changes compared to the current model.
Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are expected to be released in 2026
The new Apple Watch, which will be released in 2026, is expected to be two models: the Apple Watch Series 12 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4.
The Apple Watch SE model is expected to be revamped every two years, and it is likely that the Apple Watch SE 3 will be released by the end of the year, and sales will continue in 2026 without a model change.
Rumors about changes to Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4
If there are significant changes to the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, the following changes are summarized as possible reasons.
- Equipped with S12 SiP, developed based on the A18
- Apple Watch Ultra 4 has changed the case design and thinner
- The Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 have a narrower bezel width and an enlarged display area
- Apple Watch Ultra 4 expands display size
- One year behind the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch Series 12 supports 5G and satellite communications
- The design of the band mounting section has been changed to increase the internal space
Reddit posted predictions that the display area will be enlarged for each new model.
Something that is unlikely to happen on the 2026 Apple Watch
On the other hand, the non-puncture blood glucose measurement function is expected to be difficult to achieve on the 2026 Apple Watch, which was a huge topic for a while, but has been almost forgotten since Bloomberg reported that there was no prospect of realising it.
Also, I’ve not been hearing any information about the installation of a micro LED display on the Apple Watch Ultra lately, so there’s probably no revival after development was stopped.
