Congressional Progressives Never Learn: It's Not the Messaging, It's the Message

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, it may do the same for the next Apple Watch Ultra in addition to adding the long-rumored blood-pressure monitoring feature. Satellite messaging on the Watch Ultra has been rumored since before we even knew what Apple’s XL-sized sporty take on its smartwatch line would be called. According to Gurman’s description, it would work like it does on the iPhone, letting you send text messages from the watch without a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. He also reports that Apple is swapping out Intel modems in the Apple Watch for a component from MediaTek but doesn’t have any plans yet to use its upcoming in-house modems for the wearables. The new component included in “at least some models” could also support RedCap, the 5G service intended for wearables and IoT that sacrifices extra antennas and maximum bandwidth to reduce cost and extend battery life. Adding satellite service could help Apple lure some Garmin inReach fans who might want to have one less thing to carry even if the inReach’s hundreds of hours of battery life still win out for extended hikes. Presumably, service would be provided by Globalstar, Apple’s satellite partner for the iPhone that it bought a 20 percent stake in last month. As for blood-pressure monitoring, Gurman says that it “may arrive as soon as 2025 as well,” but he reminds us that the feature has been delayed in the past. Like sleep apnea detection and other health features of the Apple Watch, this feature wouldn’t offer specific measurements but could let you know if you seem to be experiencing hypertension.

Games, photos, movies, and apps can take up significant chunks of room, and before you know it, that SSD is starting to run low on free space. And a cluttered PC drive can impact performance as well as Windows updates. You don’t have to accept the slow decline of available storage space on Windows, though — there’s plenty you can do about it, whether that’s using built-in tools provided by Microsoft or keeping your files and folders better organized. Managing files and folders Screenshot: Microsoft Windows can get you started with file organization — but there’s much more you can do. If you’ve never given much thought to how your files and folders are organized, now might be the time to change that. Whether it’s a physical filing cabinet, a fridge freezer, or a Windows PC, having a system in place makes it quicker to get to what you want. It also means you can more easily identify data you’re done with and can safely delete. The organizational structure you use is completely up to you. Windows itself gets you started with default folders for... Read the full story at The Verge.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to bring satellite connections to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 as well as a blood pressure monitoring feature. The report claims that Apple will add satellite connectivity to its next Apple Watch Ultra model in 2025, giving users the ability to send text messages with Globalstar Inc.’s fleet of satellites even when they don't have a cell signal or Wi-Fi connection. Apple first introduced satellite texting for the iPhone 14 in 2022, and then enhanced the feature in 2023 by letting iPhone owners contact roadside assistance providers. In 2024, Apple updated the feature again by letting users send texts via satellite to anyone with iMessage. While texting via satellite appears to be exclusive to the Ultra 3, the blood pressure monitor is seemingly in the works for every Apple Watch model. Sources say that it could be ready in time for the Apple Watch Series 11, but the feature was initially set to launch in 2023. There's always a chance Apple could push it back again before next fall. Regarding this feature, the report suggests that it "is designed to work in a similar way to Apple’s sleep apnea detector. It won’t give users specific readings — such as diastolic or systolic levels — but it will inform them that they may be in a state of hypertension." Finally, Gurman reports that some Apple Watch models will ditch Intel's cellular modem and use a component built by MediaTek. This would follow Apple's trend of slashing its reliance on Intel in recent years, as the company also ditched Intel chips in Mac computers. "Apple is looking to reinvigorate smartwatch sales with the new features after a slow stretch," Gurman says in regards to the new features. "Revenue from the company’s Wearables, Home and Accessories business, which includes watches, has declined the past two years — partly because customers have had less reason to upgrade."
