Cupertino, December 11, 2024: Apple is set to transform the smartwatch experience with the upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 3, which will feature an innovative satellite messaging function. This new feature enables users to send text messages even without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity, using Globalstar Inc.’s satellite network. This marks a major upgrade to the Apple Watch lineup, which previously required an iPhone for satellite messaging.
In addition, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will include a blood pressure monitoring system to alert users of potential hypertension. While the system won’t provide precise readings, it enhances the health-tracking capabilities of the smartwatch. With these features, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to rekindle interest in Apple’s wearables, especially as the company works to increase smartwatch sales.
These innovations, including the integration of MediaTek modems and advancements in wearable technology, reflect Apple’s ongoing efforts to enhance its smartwatch offerings. By combining health features with improved connectivity, Apple aims to offer a more comprehensive and independent wearable experience for users.
