The first details about the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are beginning to surface
The eagerly awaited new smartwatch model from Apple, the Apple Watch Ultra 2, has started to have its first details unveiled.
Last year, Apple made a splash in the tech world with the debut of the Apple Watch Ultra, a high-end smartwatch. As expected, the Cupertino-based tech giant plans to unveil the successor to this sophisticated device at their annual fall event, which is likely to take place in September. According to a tipster's post on China's Weibo microblogging platform, the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra will be lighter than its predecessor.
This information, shared by Setsuna Digital, did not include specific values, but a reduction in weight is a significant detail. The Apple Watch Ultra is currently known for being one of the larger and heavier smartwatches on the market, which makes this anticipated change an appealing one.

To put it into perspective, the titanium model of the current Apple Watch Ultra, with its 49mm casing, weighs in at 61.3 grams. That's double the weight of the lightest Series 8 watch, a 41mm aluminum model that only weighs 31.9 grams.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned Apple analyst, has indicated that Apple might adopt 3D parts in the manufacturing of the Watch Ultra. Substituting plastic for metal components could be a viable strategy to decrease the smartwatch's weight. Additionally, this approach could potentially streamline production times and lower costs. There's also speculation about a 2.1-inch Micro LED display for the Apple Watch Ultra, which would be another remarkable upgrade.
