Apple Watch Ultra 2 tipped to use 3D-printed parts

The second-generation Apple Watch Ultra is rumored to launch later this year, and this time around Apple could take a new approach to manufacturing in order to ramp up production and cut costs: 3D printing. 

That's according to reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who, in a recent post on Medium, describes Apple's next-gen wearable as “2H23” — which refers to the second half of 2023.  While that timeframe leaves a lot up to speculation, it at least suggests a wearable that could be demoed alongside the iPhone 15 at Apple's September event. Previously Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicted we’d see the Apple Watch Ultra 2 sometime in 2023, which Kuo's report seems to back up.
