Apple’s next iteration of its higher-end smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra 3, is expected to launch in September 2025. This timing matches Apple’s usual yearly routine, where new gadgets debut with the latest iPhones.

The Ultra 3 is rumored to include some amazing upgrades. One is satellite texting, which will help you stay connected even when you’re off the grid without cellular or Wi-Fi. Another addition might be blood pressure monitoring.
Also, rumors say that there is going to be 5G connectivity instead of 4G LTE, which the watches have nowadays.
Apple has not officially confirmed any specifications for the Apple Watch Ultra 3. As with all unreleased products, plans may change before the official launch.
Looks like Apple is taking its time to fine-tune new tech for the premium Apple Watch Ultra 3, set to drop in September 2025.
