Apple is reportedly working on introducing satellite connectivity to its Apple Watch Ultra by 2025, allowing users to send messages without cellular or internet access.
The report also noted that the company is enhancing efforts to include a blood-pressure monitoring feature in the smartwatch, according to Bloomberg.
Apple introduced satellite communication for its iPhones in 2022, providing emergency messaging capabilities in areas without cellular coverage.
To support and expand this feature, the company invested $1.5 billion in satellite provider Globalstar in November 2022, underscoring its commitment to enhancing satellite-based communication services.
Apple plans to add blood pressure monitoring to its smartwatches by 2025, expanding its focus on health-related features.
Earlier this year, the company unveiled a new smartwatch with capabilities to detect long-term conditions like sleep apnea and provide emergency responses, reinforcing its commitment to innovative health technologies in wearables.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
