Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be equipped with satellite communication and 5G functions for the first time

　　According to Bloomberg, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to be released in September this year, and will be equipped with satellite communications and 5G network functions for the first time, ending the series' hardware upgrade stall since 2023.

　　It is worth noting that Huawei achieved a breakthrough in satellite message technology through Watch Ultimate Master as early as March 2023, becoming the world's first smart watch manufacturer to support two-way Beidou satellite communications. The release time of Apple's new product is two and a half years behind the implementation of similar Huawei's functions.

　In terms of technical details, the satellite function of Apple Watch Ultra 3 can enable independent sending of text messages in a Wi-Fi and cellular network environment without the need for iPhone transit. The 5G special edition launched at the same time improves network performance from previous generation LTE to 5G standard. In addition to core upgrades, the new product is expected to optimize processor performance, extend battery life, and introduce more precise health monitoring functions.
