  • Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is now reporting that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 - likely arriving in September of 2025 - will gain satellite capability just like the iPhone to let "smartwatch users send off-the-grid text messages" when no other network, like Cellular or Wi-Fi, is available.

The next Apple Watch Ultra might incorporate a feature known as Emergency SOS via satellite, which is currently available on the iPhone 14. This feature allows users to send distress signals to emergency services even when they are out of cellular or Wi-Fi range.

The article expresses excitement about this potential addition, highlighting how it could make the Apple Watch Ultra an even more indispensable tool for adventurers and emergency situations.
