Apple Watch Ultra 3 may add new health features, satellite connectivity
Other than a Black Titanium version, there have not been any major changes to the Apple Watch Ultra since 2023. However, the upcoming model could deliver a significant change. Here are the advanced features expected to debut with the next generation model:
Apple Watch Ultra 3: New features
According to the report, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will feature high blood pressure detection capabilities. This feature will not provide exact blood pressure readings but will notify users if they show signs of hypertension. The device is not expected to display specific diastolic or systolic numbers but will alert users when irregular blood pressure patterns are observed. The feature works similar to how the watch currently detects conditions like sleep apnea, providing early warnings rather than detailed medical data.
Satellite Messaging
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will support satellite messaging, which is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. This will allow users to send text messages via satellite when cellular or Wi-Fi connections are not in range, enabling "off-the-grid" communication. The device will likely use Globalstar's satellite network, the same provider that Apple has used for satellite connectivity on iPhones since the launch of iPhone 14 series. The Watch Ultra 3 marks the first time Apple brings satellite support directly to the Watch.
5G Redcap connectivity
Another addition coming to Apple's Ultra Watch 3 is the 5G Redcap support. The 5G Redcap is a more energy-efficient version of 5G, which is ideal for wearables. This 5G version offers better speed without significantly impacting battery life. This standard is designed to bridge the gap between full-fledged 5G and LTE. It will replace the existing 4G LTE connectivity, which has been the limit for previous Ultra models.
What more?
In addition to these three features, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is also expected to include a faster chip and an upgraded OLED display, likely aligning with the anticipated Apple Watch Series 10 models.

Rs 8000000000 salary to Trapit Bansal, Rs 16700000000 salary to…, AI race heats up, Zuckerberg's Meta plans to…
Meta's latest recruitment has surpassed Trapit Bansal's massive Rs 800 crore salary package. The deal for Ruming Pang, reportedly worth over Rs 1,600 crore in Indian currency, is considered very huge in Silicon Valley. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is aggressively hiring high-profile employees to build its Superintelligence Labs, to compete with AI giants like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Ruming Pang Rs 1670 crore Salary Package Among the hires, Meta has reportedly offered Ruming Pang (formerly at Apple) a massive $200 million (Rs 1,670 crore) deal, and Trapit Bansal (from OpenAI) a $100 million (Rs 835 crore) package. If compared on the basis of numbers, the compensation offered to Meta's Superintelligence Lab hires is more than the salaries of even top banking CEOs worldwide. According to Bloomberg, these high-end pay packages are linked to performance and long-term loyalty, which means the full amount is not guaranteed unless employees meet set targets and stay with the company. Salary Breakdown Of Mega Compensation Packages The compensation includes: Base salary Signing bonus Large equity stake in Meta stock Equity forms the bulk of the deal. Initial pay and signing bonuses are in cash sums. In cases where candidates leave startup equity behind to join Meta, the signing bonus is adjusted upward to offset that loss. However, the stock component comes with conditions that are tied to specific benchmarks like Meta's stock price increasing by a certain percentage annually. According to a Bloomberg report citing sources, many of these new hires are signing contracts longer than the typical four-year vesting period, showing Meta's plan to retain top talent over the long term.

Excitement is mounting as reliable leaks hint at a 6.3‑inch ProMotion display, refreshed Dynamic Island UI, and a suite of camera upgrades across all models. Apple enthusiasts are particularly eyeing the debut of the iPhone 17 Air, a slim, design‑focused handset poised to replace the Plus variant and the solid entry‑level iPhone 17 that's rumoured to carry the same display as its Pro counterpart.

Carl Pei says Nothing wants people to use their phones less after launching Rs 79,999 Phone 3
Carl Pei, the co-founder of Nothing, says the company doesn't want people glued to their phones all the time — an interesting take, especially as the brand has just launched its most expensive device yet. Speaking to Bloomberg after the launch of the Nothing Phone 3, Pei explained that smartphones were originally made to boost creativity and productivity, not to encourage endless scrolling. 'It was a bicycle for the mind,' he said, referring to how smartphones were once meant to be useful tools, just like the personal computer. But over time, people have got used to picking up their phones and getting distracted. Pei admits he does this himself, saying, 'Sometimes when I have to respond to an important message, I just happen to go into my social media and scroll a bit afterwards.'advertisementThe new Phone 3, priced from Rs 79,999, is Nothing's biggest move yet into the premium space. It's being marketed as a flagship product — one that aims to compete directly with top-end offerings from Apple and Samsung. But while the phone comes with all the bells and whistles — including a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, a 6.67-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, and triple 50-megapixel rear cameras — Pei insists the goal is not to make users more dependent on their phones, but to help them 'stay in focus.' He says the idea is to keep users connected to important things without having to constantly check their approach to design still plays a big role. The Phone 3 keeps the company's signature transparent back, now updated with a new 'Glyph Matrix' made up of hundreds of programmable micro LEDs. This is meant to help users manage notifications in a more subtle, less distracting way. There's also a glowing red light that comes on when the camera is recording, and a new round button to control Glyph functions. Pei also touched on how AI fits into their plans. While Nothing isn't focused on building its own language models, it's exploring smart ways to apply AI on the phone. 'We want to be able to really understand the users to then automate the smartphone use as much as possible,' he Phone 3 runs on Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, and includes AI tools like Essential Space and universal phone search. Pei says most Nothing phones are now made in India, and the Phone 3 is even being exported from India to the a growing user base and revenue expected to hit $1 billion this year, Pei says the company is in talks for more funding — but has 'nothing to announce' at the moment.- Ends
