Gadgets | Black Apple Watch Ultra shown in regulatory filing

Apple Watch Ultra prototype in black

The images are said to come from an FCC filing, which Apple will have had to make before the release of the Apple Watch Ultra. The images show a subtly different Action Button design, and also a black back, which is more reminiscent of Apple Watch Series 9 and earlier models.

It’s still possible that a third generation Apple Watch Ultra may come in black. Recently, however, it’s been claimed that it’s not expected that a third generation will be released in 2024. None of this precludes a mid-cycle black Apple Watch Ultra Series 2 release, though.
