- The Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 will reportedly detect and alert users about high blood pressure.

The Apple Watch has evolved from a mere fashion statement to a lifesaving wearable that has helped numerous users uncover severe medical conditions. Almost every year, the iPhone maker introduces new health-related features to monitor wearers’ body functions, the latest being sleep apnea detection on the Apple Watch Series 10. To push its wearables further, the company will reportedly enable high blood pressure alerts on 2025’s Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3.
According to a Bloomberg report, the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 will be able to detect hypertension and alert users accordingly. Similar to the existing body temperature monitor, Apple Watch wearers likely won’t be able to get accurate blood pressure readings using a dedicated watchOS app. Instead, the popular smartwatch will possibly perform background scans and notify users if it detects an anomaly.
