Apple’s Watch Ultra (review) debuted with a titanium case in light gold colorway, and this is the lone option you can have regardless of the type of wristband it is paired with. Apparently, the Cupertino firm may introduce black titanium on the upcoming Watch Ultra 2 based on a new report.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Watch Series 9 new colors
The information was shared by frequent and prolific leaker @VNChocoTaco on Twitter. According to the account, Apple plans to release a black hue of the Watch Ultra 2 on top of the standard titanium. But it was also mentioned that the 2nd generation rugged Apple Watch is carrying the same design as last year’s Watch Ultra. Hence, only the colorway would be the notable change on the outside.
In the same tweet, it was revealed that Apple is going to offer the standard Watch Series 9 with a new pink paint job. This should be added to the other variants consisting of midnight, silver, red, and gold, among others. However, it remains unclear whether we are seeing changes on the exterior of the smartwatch.
Apart from the color, it was rumored that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will incorporate 3D-printed titanium parts for reduced weight and cost. It could also enlist a powerful Apple S9 chipset based on the A16 or A17 Bionic with improved efficiency and processor performance, which is a benefit that the Watch Series 9 would likely take advantage as well.
Apple has not revealed its fall event schedule yet, but it is expected to kick off sometime next month. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will be the spotlight of the keynote while Apple’s upcoming watches could debut at the same time.
There are also no pricing details on the Watch Ultra 2 and Watch Series 9, though they could retail similar to their predecessors at $799 and $399, respectively. Additionally, it is tipped that there won’t be an Apple Watch SE 3 in the pipeline this year. Likewise, do you think these prices are reasonable for the specs you are getting?
