Apple Watch Ultra 3, the new features arriving in 2025

According to recent rumors, Apple will release a major update for its flagship smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra, next year. The current model, apart from the introduction of the black titanium color, has not undergone significant evolutions since 2023. The Apple Watch Ultra 3, scheduled for 2025, however, promises to introduce several interesting innovations, mainly focused on health and connectivity. Among the new features dedicated to health, the blood pressure monitoring. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this feature won’t provide precise measurements like diastolic and systolic values, but it will alert the user to potential hypertension. The project, which has been in development for years, should finally materialize in 2025.

Designed for lovers of adventure and exploration, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will integrate the satellite messaging allowing users to send text messages even without a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. This technology, already present on iPhones for some years and further improved with iOS 18, will allow you to communicate via satellite directly from the watch, without the need to have your smartphone with you. A further improvement concerns connectivity. While previous Apple Watch Ultra models were limited to 4G LTE, version 3 will support 5Gin the Redcap variant. This version, characterized by reduced energy consumption, will guarantee a faster connection without compromising battery life.
