The Apple Watch Ultra 2 was the definition of a modest upgrade over its predecessor, but it looks like the next generation will be quite the improvement, if the latest insight from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is to be believed.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3, likely to launch next year alongside the iPhone 17 family, will have at least three significant changes according to Gurman’s sources.
Two of these are related to connectivity, and adoption of technology already found in the best iPhones. The Ultra 3 will apparently be the first wearable to feature satellite connectivity, allowing the dispatch of emergency messages for those off the grid and without mobile signal via the Globalstar satellite network.
