A new Apple Watch Ultra with a larger 2.1-inch screen will launch in 2024, according to a report today from Taiwanese publication digitimes, citing industry sources. This aligns with the information shared last month by Jeff Putechnology analyst at Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities.
The current Apple Watch Ultra has a screen that is around 1.93 inches, so the 2024 model would have a screen almost 10% larger and would likely become the first Apple Watch with a case size larger than 50mm. . The new Ultra is also expected to be the first Apple Watch to adopt microLED display technology, which will result in higher brightness, lower power consumption, and better contrast ratio compared to current models with OLED displays.

Apple’s first device with an OLED screen was the Apple Watch in 2015, while the iPhone began switching to OLED in 2017. Rumors point to the first MacBook Air and iPad Pro models with OLED screens. will be released in 2024.
