Last September, Apple confirmed market expectations by finally unveiling a connected watch aimed at high performance.L’Apple Watch Ultrahas amore imposing display than the Series 8, its chassis is more solid and tools like the Oceanic+ dive computer are only available on this model.
In 2023 however,Jeff Pu, a researcher accustomed to this type of prediction, thinks that the improvements that will be made to the next Watch models will be minor. Therefore, sales could be relatively disappointing for the manufacturer. But by waiting a few more months, until 2024, users would indeed be entitled to clear changes. Probably enough to checkout to update their equipment.
Images even sharper than ever
In 2024 therefore, Apple could offer amicro LED screenwith its future Watch Ultra. This technology, instead of the current OLED, offers better brightness and more faithful colors. So of course, no one is yet talking about the arrival of a photo sensor on Apple's most expensive wearable, but we can easily imagine that third-party apps will largely benefit from such characteristics to offer us even more complete content.
With this, Pu explains that the second generation Apple Watch Ultra would go from a diagonal of 1.93 inches to2.1 inches. Knowing that today's version is already quite heavy, all we have to do is cross our fingers that the manufacturer knows how to reduce the width of the borders around the slab to compensate. A strategy that has already borne fruit on the iPhone range and among the competition.
An even higher price?
Good to know, however: micro LED screens are expensive. More expensive than the OLED of the first generation Apple Watch Ultra, which could motivate Cupertino to offer its successor at a higher price again. The pill would then perhaps be difficult to swallow, especially when we know that we currently have to pay999 eurosto treat yourself to an Ultra and its bracelet.
But a ready-made solution could make this product more accessible: thefunding. Apple indeed offers payment in installments in store. What's more, soon some will also talk about the arrival of the iPhone by subscription. A service that would also be very suitable for watches, the price of which is therefore sometimes of the same order of magnitude now.
