An image asset with a new, higher resolution has been discovered in the latest iPhone software<\/p>\n
It looks like the Apple Watch Ultra 3<\/a> will feature a larger screen than its predecessors, with evidence emerging from the latest iOS 26 beta that strongly suggests the upgrade.<\/p>\n The discovery, made by MacRumors<\/a>, is an image asset hidden within the beta software that has a display resolution of 422 x 514 pixels. <\/p>\n This is a modest but notable increase from the 410 x 502 resolution found on the current Apple Watch Ultra 2<\/a>. And since no existing Apple Watch<\/a> model features these dimensions, it\u2019s likely referring to an increased display size for the upcoming Ultra 3.<\/p>\n This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the watch itself will get bigger, of course. With no credible rumors of an increase in the overall case size, the more likely scenario is that Apple has slimmed down the bezels, allowing for a larger active display area within the same physical footprint.<\/p>\n A bigger screen is just one of several significant upgrades rumored for the upcoming Ultra 3, which is expected to be a major update after being skipped over in 2024 (and 2023\u2019s Ultra 2 only being an iterative update on the original. <\/p>\n Other potential new features include satellite connectivity for off-grid messaging, blood pressure monitoring, a faster chip, and an even brighter display. <\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n The Wareable take<\/p>\n While a larger screen is always a welcome upgrade, the real story here is how it will complement the suite of new features currently being rumored for the Ultra 3. A bigger, brighter display could prove to be the perfect canvas for the subtle redesign already teased by Apple for watchOS 26<\/a>, and it certainly wouldn\u2019t hurt when using potential new tools like satellite messaging.<\/p>\n This latest leak is arguably the most concrete evidence we\u2019ve had for the Ultra 3\u2019s design so far, and it adds to the picture of a device that\u2019s shaping up to be a sizeable upgrade. <\/p>\n
