Apple didn’t introduce a new generation of the Apple Watch Ultra last year. Instead, the company announced a new black titanium version for the current generation. This year, however, Apple Watch Ultra 3 will get some hardware upgrades – and that includes key improvements when it comes to connectivity.
5G and satellite connectivity coming to Apple Watch Ultra 3
A recent Bloomberg report corroborated rumors about connectivity upgrades being developed for the Apple Watch Ultra 3. More specifically, this year’s Ultra model will be the first Apple Watch to support satellite connectivity and 5G.
Satellite connectivity was first added to the iPhone 14, and it enables the Emergency SOS feature via satellite. As the name suggests, it lets users point the iPhone in the right direction until it connects to a satellite in order to call emergency services when there’s no cellular or Wi-Fi signal available. The feature has become known for saving the lives of many people in high-risk situations.
