  • Most notably, the Ultra 3 watch is expected to include satellite connectivity and 5G RedCap (reduced capability) network access. This is a streamlined version of 5G that requires fewer components and improves power efficiency. The feature is expected to be exclusive to the third-generation Ultra Watch. The Ultra line was not updated in 2024.

The article from CNET discusses anticipated health-focused upgrades for the Apple Watch, as reported by Bloomberg. These upgrades include the potential addition of features like blood pressure monitoring, sleep apnea detection, and a new journal app aimed at enhancing mental health. The blood pressure sensor would not provide exact readings but would alert users to trends or hypertension risks, prompting them to consult a doctor. Sleep apnea detection would analyze sleep patterns and breathing to suggest if a user might have the condition. Additionally, Apple is reportedly developing a journal app that could integrate with the watch to track mood and daily activities, potentially offering insights into mental well-being. These features are part of Apple's ongoing efforts to turn the Apple Watch into a comprehensive health monitoring device, although no specific timeline for these updates was mentioned.
