Two big new Apple Watch Ultra 3 features can reduce iPhone dependency

Among the anticipated enhancements for the Apple Watch Ultra 3, two standout features aim to reduce iPhone dependency. While obviously not fully replacing your iPhone, the Ultra 3 will enable greater independence, making it easier to venture out without your phone.
Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac:
Two new connectivity features are coming that replicate existing iPhone features:
• 5G cellular
• Satellite messaging
Both of these technologies have been available on the iPhone for a while, so if you bring your iPhone everywhere with you, the Ultra 3’s upgrades won’t make as big a difference. But with 5G and satellite connectivity, Apple Watch Ultra 3 should provide a smoother, more seamless iPhone-free experience.
MacDailyNews Take: We’ve long left our iPhone behind when running and expect Apple Watch Ultra 3’s 5G and satellite connectivity to make that experience even better!
