The technology is expected to offer better performance than LTE while still maintaining energy efficiency, making it well-suited for a device like the Apple Watch. Unlike previous Ultra models that were limited to 4G LTE, the users of Watch Ultra 3 could benefit from 5G connectivity. The reports also suggest that Apple will likely introduce blood pressure monitoring capabilities to the next Watch Ultra. The Watch Ultra 3 may not display specific diastolic or systolic numbers, but is said to alert users when irregular blood pressure patterns are identified.
