Which watch did you upgrade from? When I went from the Series 4 to the Series 7, I thought it was a great upgrade.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Teardown Confirms Slightly Larger Battery Capacity

Same price with more features and these types of devices aren’t meant to be upgraded annually…
So changed something enough they could introduce a new model name to sell to those who chase the Jones
I’ll just tell people my ultra 1 is a 2, doubt anyone could tell 😂

Personally I think the build quality on the ultra is miles ahead of my iPhone pro
But it’s Apple, it’s all over priced, for the price point it should be user serviceable and made in the free world, or at the very least Europe, South America, or Canada
The 14 Pro Max was my least favourite iPhone since the super bendy iPhone 6. It was just too heavy. The 15 Pro Max is far more usable because of the weight drop and the change in how it digs into your palm and pinky when using it.
Newsflash, premium mechanical watches that last seemingly forever costs more. What’s your point?
Love this idea. The haptic taps can be truly annoying, which is why it’s off for me.
Good to see bigger battery on Ultra 2. But that alone cannot justify the upgrade from Ultra 1
Vintage warbirds cost even more, you see the price of a P-51D these days?
But what’s that have to do with the price of the tea in china
Comparing a Apple Watch to a Rolex or Omega or the like is too far off the reservation
The price of Apple goods is stupid high considering it’s mostly slave labor chinese made stuff
Go compare how and where and whom makes a Swiss watch to a Apple product and report back
It's hilarious that the same comments were mentioned on here about the original AWU...those commenters were furious that it contained the same SiP as prior years and had no offline maps, "missed opportunity", "I won't be buying until the SiP is upgraded" etc etc.
Here we are a year later with updated SiP and massively increased neural engine performance allowing on-device Siri and enabling a whole host of future new functionality, increased base storage from 32Gb to 64Gb, ultra Wideband with precision find, brighter (and darker) screen, and the ever important "offline maps".
Average Mac Rumours forum members "meh".
Apple’s R&D budget is higher than the entire Swiss watch export revenue, how are they going to make the money back?
The chinese slave labor helps
Plus I hear wages at the African lithium battery mines are pretty cost savings
Also R&D? It’s a cool gadget but it ain’t exactly cold fusion 😂
Funnily enough, the haptic taps are one of the main reasons I even own an Apple Watch. It means I can leave my phone in a bag when out and about or in another room and not have to worry about missing a notification.
Why would there be new hardware to support something that has been around for several generations? This is some lame reporting 😂
I guess Apple's plan to get $2k for
Very few people asked for a brighter screen. Offline maps is an iOS 17 feature I have on my 13 Pro Max. Very few people said they needed a faster iPhone. Very few people needed more storage (plus they are charging you for the "more base"). Etc...
I mean, the more you buy, the more $$ I make lol. So I am happy folks are paying for this stuff. But, honestly, the phone's upgrade is so minimal they have to focus on the metal it's made from in order to distinguish it in the ads.
I think the haptic engine is a necessity, especially as it gives another form of feedback which is especially useful for those who are sight impaired or hearing impaired.
