The iPhone 14 was a revolution due to the integration of the satellite connection by Apple. This service, free for two years and subsequently paid, allows users to connect to a satellite to send messages, location or activate emergency services when there is no Internet connection or connection to a signal repeater. A new report published by Mark Gurman claims that this Satellite connectivity could arrive on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 in 2025, a technology that could save lives and justify some users upgrading their watch.
A jump to satellite on the Apple Watch Ultra 3
The technology that enables connection to satellites, Apple explains in its website, offers a totally different experience to what we are used to because They have little bandwidth and the satellites are located hundreds of kilometers from the Earth. A message sent via satellite connection can take about 30 seconds to send... but this time could be justified if there is no Internet connection or coverage of any kind, hence the importance for Apple of having this technology in the iPhone.
Un report Posted by Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman has assured that Apple's plans include bring satellite connectivity to Apple Watch Ultra 3. He also argues that the decision to include it in the Ultra is because they have a battery with twice the capacity of the other models. In addition, this watch is used for much more extreme sports and that could justify the danger. On the other hand, this technology would also be useful When we have lost the iPhone or we do not have the phone with us or if on the contrary the watch is being used by a user without an iPhone, something that is not possible at the moment.
Gurman also reported that Apple is still working on two more health-related sensors. One of them is monitoring blood glucose levels, something that is years away at the moment but in which Apple is investing a lot of time and money. On the other hand, it is blood pressure monitoring, which could come to Apple Watch, perhaps not as specific measurements but as indirect signs of higher than normal blood pressure.
