The third generation of the Apple Watch Ultra is expected to be unveiled in September 2025. The new model will stand out with support for a 5G modem and satellite connectivity, according to Pepelac.news. This was reported by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.
Through satellite connectivity, users will be able to send messages even in areas without mobile or Wi-Fi networks. With the release of iOS 18, this feature will work not only for emergencies but also for sending regular text messages.
This function will make the Apple Watch Ultra an essential gadget, especially for those who lead an active lifestyle and enjoy traveling. Apple aims to strengthen its position in the market against competitors like Garmin with this capability.
Additionally, Gurman noted that Apple plans to move away from Intel modems in the future and implement MediaTek's 5G RedCap technology. This technology is designed to be energy-efficient and particularly suited for low-power devices. While current Apple Watch models operate on 4G LTE networks, iPhone devices have already transitioned to 5G networks.
