Apple Watch Ultra May Soon Feature Satellite Texting
TL;DR
The next Apple Watch Ultra may feature satellite texting, similar to the iPhone's non-emergency messaging, and could include blood-pressure monitoring by 2025. Apple plans to replace Intel modems with MediaTek components, potentially supporting RedCap 5G for wearables. This move could attract Garmin inReach users seeking fewer devices, with Globalstar likely providing satellite service. However, the blood-pressure feature may not offer specific measurements, only alerts for potential hypertension.
