New Satellite Features Apple Watch Ultra 3 has built-in satellite connectivity, enabling Emergency SOS, Find My, and Messages via satellite without any reliance on an iPhone. iOS 27 will reportedly include up to five new satellite features , and the following two would likely extend to watchOS 27: Apple Maps via satellite Photos support for Messages via satellite Amazon last month announced plans to acquire Globalstar , the satellite company that powers Apple's satellite features on the iPhone 14 and newer and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. In turn, Amazon announced that it has signed an agreement with Apple to provide satellite connectivity for current and future iPhone and Apple Watch features.

This suggests that the update could include many bug fixes.
