Apple Watch Ultra 4 getting two major new upgrades, per report

Apple has 15+ new products launching this fall, including the Apple Watch Ultra 4. And a new report highlights two major upgrades coming with Apple Watch Ultra 4.

Apple Watch Ultra 4 will have ‘major redesign’ and significant sensor upgrades

Last summer, Digitimes reported the first details regarding what’s coming with Apple Watch Ultra 4. It said there would be design “alterations,” double the number of sensors, and much better power efficiency.

Since then, however, there’s been surprisingly little reported on the new model.

But today, nearly a year after that last report, Digitimes has a new update on two major changes it highlights for Apple Watch Ultra 4. The new model will have:

  1. A “major redesign,” also referred to as a “full redesign”
  2. and a “significant upgrade to sensing functions”

The report says market watchers expect the redesign could boost shipments by 20-30% over last year.

The upgrade in sensors, which sounds very much in line with last year’s report, is said to have a huge upside for Apple’s exclusive sensor supplier, TASC. Siu Han writes:

With rumors of Apple launching its first iPhone Ultra this year, alongside a MacBook Ultra and possibly AirPods Ultra, it sounds like the company plans to go all-out with its Ultra line. And of course, we’re also expecting a new Mac Studio with M5 Ultra.
