The next Apple Watch Ultra could have satellite texting

SMRTR summary

Apple is reportedly developing satellite messaging and blood-pressure monitoring for the next Apple Watch Ultra. The satellite feature would enable text messaging without cellular or Wi-Fi, similar to iPhone capabilities. Apple may switch to MediaTek modems and support RedCap 5G in some models, helping compete with Garmin's inReach devices. The delayed blood-pressure monitoring feature, potentially arriving by 2025, would alert users to possible hypertension without providing specific measurements.
