Apple plans satellite messaging for next Apple Watch Ultra in 2025

Apple may introduce satellite messaging for the next Apple Watch Ultra, expected in 2025. This feature would allow users to send texts without cellular or Wi-Fi, similar to the recent update for iPhones. The new model might also include blood glucose monitoring, alongside a switch from Intel to MediaTek modems. Some models could support RedCap, a 5G service designed for wearables. Apple's satellite service could attract users of Garmin inReach devices, offering a more compact option for messaging during outdoor activities. Globalstar, Apple's satellite partner, is likely to provide the service.
