Rumor: Apple Watch Ultra 2 to Release in 2021 with Updated Processor
Rumors are circulating that Apple is preparing to release an upgraded edition of the Apple Watch Ultra, following its successful launch in September 2023 alongside the iPhone 14 series. Renowned for its adventure-focused capabilities and durable titanium construction, the Apple Watch Ultra swiftly gained popularity as Apple’s premier smartwatch.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the updated Apple Watch Ultra is codenamed N210 and will launch alongside two new Series 9 Apple Watches, codenamed N207 and N208.
All three watches – the new Apple Watch Ultra and the two Series 9 models – are expected to be released in the fall of this year alongside the iPhone 15 series. Apple usually releases its new iPhones and Apple Watches during its September event, so it might be possible that we’ll see the new Apple Watches then.
The new Apple Watches are also rumored to feature a new processor based on either a 5nm or 6nm architecture – which could offer users longer battery life than some recent models like the Apple Series 8.
In his PowerOn newsletter, Gurman also claims Apple is working on a new iPad Pro with an OLED display, an updated iPad Air to replace the current M1-powered model, and new M3 Pro and M3 Max powered 14- and 16-inchers. MacBook Pro, code names J514 and J516.
In addition, Gurman claims that “the next generation of headphones will probably not start arriving until 2025,” but in the meantime, Apple will introduce a number of new devices.
