Apple exceeds itself: the new Apple Watch Ultra will cost 999 euros and the new straps reach up to 99 euros – Andro4all

Ridiculous prices for one of the most brutal smartwatches you will see… And also for its accessories! 09/08/2022 00:20 It was already expected so finally there were no surprises except in the commercial name, and that is that the new iPhone 14 and the Apple Watch Series 8 have been accompanied by a more beastly model called Apple Watch Ultra, and with which Apple has undoubtedly surpassed itself in every way. And the fact is that the Cupertino giant’s intention is to compete with the best watches and the best brands in the outdoor sector, with Suunto and Garmin as references and with a design impressive, gigantic, superlative, with a case of no less than 49 millimeters built in titanium and an Ion-X glass OLED screen with LTPO technology and protected by sapphire crystal with MIL-STD-810H certification. The new Apple Watch Ultra (49 mm) and its innovative straps. In any case, and although it is true that Apple advertises the enormous resistance of this smartwatch by literally saying that it has “a very hard case”, we are going to have to check it empirically after seeing that Samsung advertised the same with the titanium and sapphire crystal construction of its Galaxy Watch5 Pro, which according to negative experiences of several users dents, scratches and marks more easily than expected. Be that as it may, we have come here to talk about the Apple book , and in absolute terms the Apple Watch Ultra is probably the most brutal smartwatch in the entire industry, designed with everything you can put in a wearable in a package of apparent quality and with a simply impressive list of technical features:Apple Watch UltraData sheet and specificationsDimensions and weight49 x 44 x 14.4 (mm); 61.3 (g) Case and construction 49 millimeters of titanium, sapphire front glass and ceramic back Resistance MIL-STD-810H Certification, IP6x Dust Certification, EN13319 Scuba Diving Certification (100 meters deep) Screen Retina OLED LTPO Always-On-Display, 2 inches, 502 x 410 pixels, 2,000 nits (peak)Processor64-bit Apple S8 chip with dual-core CPU and PowerVR GPUMemory32 GBOperating systemwatchOS 9ConnectivityApple W3 chip, WiFi 802.11 dual-band, Bluetooth 5.3, UltraWideBand, LTE versionsBattery- (mAh), autonomy up to 36 hours (60 hours in energy saving)SensorsHeart rate, ECG, SpO2, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Altimeter, aGPS, Compass, Ambient light sensor, Water temperature sensor, Depth gaugeOthersAcoustic siren, Apple Pay, GymKit, Dual speaker , Triple microphone An excellent ‘datasheet’ for this huge Apple Watch Ultra. Seeing such a deployment we would all expect a high price, but it is that the most performance option of Samsung, with similar characteristics except for the scuba diving functions, it costs only 519 euros for the exaggerated 999 euros that Apple has set for this superlative Watch Ultra, which indeed, and as you can see, is superior in all aspects. this Apple Watch Ultra is worth what it costs, and above all the success or failure of the model in terms of sales figures will remain to be seen, although we certainly fear that if the dangerous ban on smart watches of 1,000 euros is opened soon we will see in Android, or rather Wear Os, similar exaggerations that will put these wearables out of the reach of most. also built in titanium and with sapphire glass) costs practically half. New iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro: this is how Apple wants to compete with the high-end Android of 2022 Three ex straps exclusive, also at absolutely ridiculous pricesAnyway, don’t go yet, because the difficult-to-justify prices around Apple’s highest-end smartwatch, which can be booked with any of its three new straps and in any of its its colors and finishes for 999 euros invariably, whatever the chosen strap. In fact, it is that in Cupertino they have designed three exclusive straps for the Apple Watch Ultra, each one designed with a purpose and aimed at a very specific type of user: Loop Alpine Leash For outdoor adventures. Comfortable and very resistant. G-shaped hook for a secure fit. ‘Loop Trail’ strap For endurance sports. Light and elastic, our thinnest strap. With a comfortable tab to adjust it on the fly. ‘Ocean’ strap For extreme water sports and recreational diving. Flexible, it stretches to be worn over wetsuit. Tubular design with a titanium buckle and an adjustable hook for a secure closure. The new ‘Loop Alpine’, ‘Loop Trail’ and ‘Ocean’ straps for the Apple Watch Ultra. The first two straps are made of an elastic fabric and can be bought in various colors, while the third has been specifically designed for the sea and is therefore flexible and made of rubber, with a kind of tubular weave that allows the strap to be extended when we wear the watch over the neoprene. The case is that all these straps are also sold separately in case we want to have two or the original one breaks, at a price of 99 euros… 99 euros! Obviously, they will be expensive accessories for a very expensive smartwatch, very difficult, as we said, to justify. We will see how Apple stores breathe, although it paints another success for the apple giant with enormous commercial margins. Seeing is believing. Apple (yes, Apple) reinvents the hole in the screen with a unique functionality
