May be more expensive than current model
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has already experimented with a dark titanium coating for the current Apple Watch Ultra. However, it is stated that these plans were canceled for unknown reasons. For those who don’t know, titanium is a stronger but lighter material. Considering that today’s Apple Watch Ultra is aimed at professional athletes, trainers and professionals, the new development could offer improvements such as both endurance and weight reduction.
However, Mark Gurman states that an exciting development such as titanium coating may cause extra costs for users. Let us remind you that Apple has charged additional fees for titanium versions in the past. We also know that the “Ultra” model will already be the most expensive model. For this reason, Apple may include two different Apple Watch Ultra models to both increase revenue and provide customers with more options. These will likely be the Standard and Titanium options.
What will Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra offer?
According to current reports, Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra are expected to update with the S9 chip based on the A15 Bionic. Thus, a significant increase in computation and graphics performance will be on the table. However, it should not be forgotten that all these are leaks. For clearer information, we need to wait for announcements and pricing details from Apple.
