The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is rumoured to be getting satellite texting.
In a new report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has claimed the next iteration of the wearable will get the life-saving iPhone feature, which enables “smartwatch users send off-the-grid text messages” without the use of cellular data or a Wi-Fi network.
The tech expert predicts that the next-generation of the Apple Watch Ultra will land in September 2025.
Meanwhile, CEO Tim Cook recently declared that he hopes Apple’s “biggest contribution” to the tech world will be in the field of health innovations.
He told Wired UK: “It’s clear to me that if you zoom out way into the future, and you look back and ask what Apple’s biggest contribution was, it will be in the health area.
“That’s what I really believe. When we started pulling that string with the Apple Watch, it was a cascade of events. We started with something simple, like monitoring your heart rate, and then figured out we could pick up heart signals to get to an EKG and an AFib determination.”
Cook went on to insist Apple’s systems to monitor sleep apnea has already been saving lives.
He added: “Now we are monitoring sleep apnea. I’ve gotten so many notes over time from people who would have not survived had it not been for the alert on their wrist.”
