Instead of releasing an Ultra 3 watch this year, Apple just added a new black color option to the Ultra 2. And the company didn’t mention the Apple Watch SE, its low-end model, at its “It’s Glowtime” event.
However, in his latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch SE will get updated in 2025, putting those non-Series models on a two-year refresh cycle.
“Some of this is because Apple’s hardware innovation has slowed down, so it makes sense to save up two years’ worth of features to make a bigger splash,” he adds. “But there are other signs that Apple releases are getting more spread out. The company is planning several hardware launches in both halves of next year.
