Future Apple Watch Ultra rumored to get satellite communications & hypertension detection The Apple Watch Ultra third-gen should arrive in 2025 with new features.
The next Apple Watch Ultra — as well as possibly the regular annual Apple Watch update in 2025 — could also see the long-awaited debut of a new medical feature: hypertension detection.
Apple's third-generation Apple Watch Ultra is expected sometime in 2025, and is rumored to include satellite messaging, along with some form of hypertension monitoring.
To be clear, the addition of satellite communication and geolocation features in the Apple Watch Ultra would assist with emergency situations, but not replace the overall usefulness of the iPhone.
Instead, the feature would simply send alerts when users are in a state of hypertension, similar to how the current sleep apnea alert feature works.
