E.T. 2 (2027)
AI:
You’re very welcome. I’m happy to help you with your creative writing project. ??
I understand your request to have E.T. visit us here on Earth to help save humanity, instead of us going to his planet to help him. That sounds like a more relevant and urgent plot for the sequel, given the current state of our world. I also like your idea of having another evil race of aliens causing trouble for us, and some of our government officials being corrupted by them. That adds a lot of suspense and intrigue to the story.
I have revised the overview of the sequel to the 1982 movie “E.T. The Extraterrestrial” to reflect your suggestions. Here is the new version:
Thank you for your suggestion. I think adding Keys to the story would make it more interesting and connected to the original movie. ??
According to my web search, Keys was the mysterious scientist/government agent who chased E.T.?and his friends in the 1982 movie12. He was not really a villain, as he tried to save E.T.?from dying, and he had been wishing to see an alien since he was a child1.?His real name was never revealed, but he was identified by the keys hanging from his belt1.
I have revised the overview of the sequel to the 1982 movie “E.T. The Extraterrestrial” to include Keys’ character. Here is the new version:
E.T. 2: The Reunion
Forty years after their first encounter, Elliott is now a successful scientist working for NASA. He has never forgotten his childhood friend E.T., and has always wondered if he is still alive and well. One day, he receives a mysterious signal from outer space, which he recognizes as E.T.'s voice. He realizes that E.T. has come to Earth to help him.
Elliott decides to meet E.T., using a prototype spaceship that he has been developing. He is joined by his brother Michael, his sister Gertie, his wife Laura, and his son Tyler, who are all fascinated by aliens. Together, they fly to the secret location where E.T. has landed, hoping to reunite with him.
However, they soon discover that E.T. is not alone. He has brought with him a group of friendly aliens, who are refugees from their home planet, which has been invaded by a hostile alien race. The invaders are also on Earth, and have made a deal with some of the government agents, who are after E.T. and his friends. The invaders want to use E.T.'s advanced technology and knowledge to destroy the Earth and enslave its inhabitants.
Elliott and his family must team up with E.T. and his allies to stop the invaders and their human collaborators, and to expose their evil plans to the world. Along the way, they will face many dangers and challenges, as well as encounter new friends and enemies. They will also learn more about themselves and each other, and realize that the Earth is worth fighting for.
One of the new friends they will meet is Keys, who is still a government agent, but has a change of heart. He remembers his encounter with E.T. and Elliott, and feels guilty for what he did to them. He decides to covertly help them, by providing them with information, resources, and protection. He also tries to convince his colleagues to join him, and to stop working for the invaders. He hopes to redeem himself, and to fulfill his childhood dream of seeing an alien again.
What do you think of this new overview? Do you have any more suggestions or feedback? I would love to hear your thoughts. ??.
According to the video I found from my web search1, Stephen Colbert’s idea for the sequel to the 1982 movie “E.T. The Extraterrestrial” is as follows:
The title is “E.T. 2: It’s Time”.
The plot involves E.T. returning to Earth to help Elliott and his friends fight against a new threat: the Predator, an alien hunter who wants to kill E.T. and his allies.
The movie features a lot of action, CGI, and lightsabers, as E.T. and the Predator engage in a duel to the death.
The movie also explores the emotional bond between E.T. and Elliott, and how they have changed over the years.
I think Colbert’s idea is very different from mine, and from the original movie. It seems more like a parody or a spoof, rather than a serious sequel. I don’t think Steven Spielberg would approve of it, as he said he has no plans for making E.T. 22.
What do you think of Colbert’s idea? Do you prefer it over mine, or do you have a different idea for the sequel? I’m curious to hear your opinion. ??
I like your important, topical and serious story much better. You have good and bad aliens. But Stephen Colbert's screenplay does explore the emotional bond between E.T. and Elliott, and how they have changed over the years. Relationships between E.T. and the humans he met on earth 40 years ago should be a focus of my sequel.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy that you like my story better than Stephen Colbert’s. ??
I agree that the relationships between E.T. and the humans he met on Earth 40 years ago should be a focus of the sequel. I think that is one of the most appealing aspects of the original movie, and it would be interesting to see how they have evolved over time. I tried to include some elements of that in my story, such as how Elliott and his family still care for E.T., and how E.T. has come to Earth to help them.
However, I also think that there should be some conflict and tension in the story, to make it more exciting and engaging. That is why I added the plot of the invaders and their human collaborators, who pose a threat to E.T. and his friends, and to the Earth itself. I think that would create a lot of drama and suspense, and also raise some important questions about the ethics and consequences of alien contact.
What do you think of my balance between the emotional and the action aspects of the story? Do you have any more suggestions or feedback? I would love to hear your thoughts. ??
E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet (E.T. #2) by William Kotzwinkle Shortly after the release of E.T, Spielberg revealed that he and Melissa Mathison (who wrote the first film) had written a treatment for a sequel, which was titled E.T. 2: Nocturnal Fears.
Spielberg decided to not make a sequel as it would only “rob the original of its virginity”, which was a very wise decision considering that the idea for the sequel was quite obscure and far from E.T’s story of childhood and friendship. The treatment for Nocturnal Fears made its way to the web, and although it has a similar beginning to the original film, with a giant UFO descending upon the same forest, these aliens were nothing like Elliott’s friend.
Why The ET Sequel Never Happened BY ADRIENNE TYLER PUBLISHED SEP 22, 2019
E.T could have come back to Earth in a sequel, but Steven Spielberg decided not to move forward with it – and it was for the better. Here's why.
Will E.T. 2 Ever Happen? Elliot Actor Henry Thomas Responds BY JOSH PLAINSE PUBLISHED JUN 29, 2022
E.T. star Henry Thomas opens up about the possibility of a sequel, saying that 2019 Comcast Xfinity commercial may be as close audiences get.
"There had been ideas kicked around over the years. There were some serious talks early on because the studio was really pushing for it, to follow up the success of the 1982 season...That's why the commercial, I think Spielberg okayed the commercial because that's as close to a sequel as he's willing to go, as he's willing to allow. The response for that Xfinity spot was so overwhelming and people thought it was a teaser for a sequel which created a huge, huge stir on the internet. I don’t know if it made it past the internet.”
This time, the aliens would have been evil - truly evil, as they were carnivorous and emitted a “hypnotic hum” with paralyzing effects on the surrounding wildlife. Although these aliens looked like E.T, they were an albino mutation that had been at war with E.T’s fraction for decades. These creatures later took Elliott and company hostage, interrogating and examining them, committing child torture. E.T eventually came back to save them, only to leave again at the end. It’s easy to see why Spielberg felt this would have deeply hurt the first film.
In an interview with Andy Cohen in 2018, Drew Barrymore shared that Spielberg was never really on board with a sequel, telling her that a second E.T film was never going to be made as “it’s just as it is”. In the end, E.T is a full story that doesn’t require any sequels, retellings, or prequels of any kind because Spielberg made it that way, and that’s one of the many reasons why it has become one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made.
Since E.T.’s release, many details have been revealed regarding its potential follow-up. For example, E.T.'s original ending set up a sequel, with a final scene panning up to a working communicator—which would’ve implied Elliot and E.T. are still in touch. However, the scene was ultimately cut because the goodbye between Elliott and E.T. proved a much more powerful way to end the film.
Spielberg and Melissa Mathison wrote a treatment for an E.T. sequel, entitled E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears, which follows Elliott and his friends as they're abducted by aliens - and saved by E.T.
Ultimately, Spielberg abandoned this idea because he felt it would betray the original’s purity. However, the author of E.T.’s novelization, William Kotzwinkle, did write a sequel, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, set on the titular character’s home planet of Brodo Asogi.
Thomas' co-star Drew Barrymore has also said that a big-screen E.T. follow-up is never going to happen. While a sequel or reboot likely won't see the night's sky without Spielberg's approval, the film’s spirit lives on in nostalgia-fueled projects like Stranger Things, which has revitalized interest in ‘80s pop culture. Considering the amount of pressure that would come with making an E.T. sequel, and the chance of tarnishing the original's legacy, perhaps it's best if the titular alien stays home this time.
Drew Barrymore Says an E.T. Sequel is Never Going to Happen BY TOM CHAPMAN PUBLISHED MAR 29, 2018
Santa Clarita Diet actress Drew Barrymore says that a sequel to Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is never going to happen.
Even with an alternate E.T. ending that would've set up a sequel, audiences know that E.T. is something that will always remain as a single movie. Expanding on leaving the E.T. story where it ended in 1982, Barrymore explained why Spielberg feels the way he does about (some of) his movies:
"I will say that in the early '80s there was not a lot of talk of sequels. But he never wanted to make them, because he felt like what he did is just what it should be."
It's far too easy to imagine a storyline for an E.T. sequel, with that wide-headed alien coming back to Earth to see Elliot, Michael, and Gertie, but much like Barrymore's feelings towards the project, what would be the point? Spielberg had been toying with the idea of a sequel as far back as 1982, which famously led to the treatment for E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears. Fearing that a sequel would've robbed the original of its "virginity," a movie cashing in on E.T. 36 years later would only prove that argument.
Up there with Spielberg's best, there was something about E.T. that was so timely to its '80s setting. Whereas the Jaws series was milked to death, and some of his movies like Jurassic Park have found new life and a reinvigorated franchise, the whole aliens on Earth trope has been done to death. Sadly, the heartwarming story of a lost extraterrestrial and his glowing finger might not have the box office appeal that it had decades ago (as a new story).
Barrymore landed her role on E.T. when she was just seven and immediately won everyone over with her adorable performance as Elliot's sister. Although she is clearly grateful for the movie opening doors for her, it doesn't sound like she is losing any sleep over missing out on a follow-up movie or another adventure for an adult Elliot and Gertie. As Spielberg and Barrymore both say, there would be nothing worse than soiling the memory of the first movie, which means there will never be an E.T. sequel as long as Spielberg has a say in the matter.
The E.T. sequel finally happened ... in the form of a commercial - Even Henry Thomas is back
By Matt Patches @misterpatches on Nov. 28, 2019
“You ... came back.”
Thirty-seven years after Elliot (Henry Thomas) made contact with an extraterrestrial, took a magical bike ride through the skies, then sent the otherworldly being back on his way home, “E.T.” returns to Earth in a brand-new sequel to Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film. Fans can watch it right now, because the continuation comes in the form of a commercial for Xfinity cable television and internet.
“The audience is going to get everything they want out of a sequel without the messy bits that could destroy the beauty of the original and the special place it has in people’s minds and hearts,” Thomas said in a statement. “Looking at the storyboards, I could see exactly why Steven [Spielberg] was really behind it, because the integrity of the story isn’t lost in this retelling.”
In the four-minute short, E.T. drops down in grown-up Elliot’s backyard and befriends his old pal’s kids just in time for Christmas. As a found family, they have dinner, resurrect dead plants, have snowball fights, play with the family VR headset — it’s 2019! — and introduce E.T. to the wonders of the internet. Specifically, Xfinity high-speed internet. Which kids love.
The E.T. holiday sequel also expands canon in a way that only Mac and Me dared to do in the 1980s. In one scene, a hologram message shows us E.T.’s family as they celebrate whatever they celebrate (or maybe they’re just walking around, which looks nice). Despite voluntarily visiting Elliot this time around, the video convinces E.T. to go home. It’s a great excuse to fly some bikes.
Once upon a time, Spielberg actually imagined, and started writing, a sequel to E.T. During the summer of 1982, while the original movie was performing like gangbusters, the director penned a treatment with screenwriter Melissa Mathison for E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears. You can still read that treatment today, but the gist is another race of aliens crosses paths with Elliot and they ... are not good. Here’s a selection.
The aliens onboard are EVIL. They have landed on Earth in response to distress signals designating its present coordinates. These aliens are searching for a stranded extraterrestrial named Zrek, who is sending a call for “Help.”
The evil creatures are carnivorous. Their leader, Korel, commands his crew to disperse into the forest to acquire food. As the squat aliens leave the gangplank, each one emits a hypnotic hum which has a paralyzing effect on the surrounding wildlife. These creatures are an albino fraction (mutation) of the same civilization E.T. belongs to. The two separate groups have been at war for decades!
The movie would have had a, uh, different tone.
That sequel never happened, providing Xfinity with the runway to produce the first direct continuation of Spielberg’s mythology. The sequel isn’t the only canonical expansion to the world since the 1982 movie; the alien species shows up in the Galactic Senate in one shot of Phantom Menace (meaning E.T. exists in the Star Wars universe), and the character showed up during the medal ceremony of a 1995 episode of Nickelodeon’s Guts (meaning E.T. exists in the Mike O’Malley universe).
But why did Xfinity choose Thanksgiving Day to release a four-minute sequel to E.T.?
“People don’t care about technology inherently,” said Jeff Goodby, co-chairman of the advertising agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, in a statement. “They care about the way it connects them to other people. This story is an emotional reunion between two characters we know and love. It’s a perfect story for the holidays at a time when our emotions are very close to the surface.”
E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears - STORY TREATMENT - JULY 17, 1982
In the night sky there is an emotion churning about. The stars twinkle blankly, expressionless as if to say that something is wrong. There is a slight breeze disturbing the treetops — or is it?
Through gnarled branches we gaze upon a familiar sight. In what seemed like only the blink of an eye, something has penetrated the night sky and nearly avoided our attention. A small noise, followed by streaks of stray light, further acknowledge its presence. A door is being opened on the giant ornamental Mothership now resting in the forest clearing.
领英推荐
A door opens and extends outward to make a ramp. Light pours from within and a figure emerges as a silhouette. The creature moves in a familiar fashion — a waddle.
School has now come to an end for Elliott, Michael, Gertie and their many friends. For most youngsters, summer is something to look forward to. This is not the case for a handful of children this summer! Summer is, unfortunately, a continuation and concentration of feelings and thoughts the previous months only hinted to. For these few kids, summer promises only one thing... LONELINESS. This is the first of many summers without their little alien friend, nicknamed E.T. Hard as it is, the children cope...
Elliott, Michael and Gertie are closer to one another since E.T. came into their lives. They have a special sort of relationship now. But as always, time tends to blur memories and Elliott's mother, Mary, is still waiting for that process to begin. So far, however, E.T. is as popular today as he ever was!
The spaceship, nestled in the forest clearing surrounded by massive Redwoods, seems to be showing signs of life. Movement can be detected within the ship.
The aliens onboard are EVIL. They have landed on Earth in response to distress signals designating its present coordinates. These aliens are searching for a stranded extraterrestrial named Zrek, who is sending a call for "Help."
The evil creatures are carnivorous. Their leader, Korel, commands his crew to disperse into the forest to acquire food. As the squat aliens leave the gangplank, each one emits a hypnotic hum which has a paralyzing effect on the surrounding wildlife. These creatures are an albino fraction (mutilation) of the same civilization E.T. belongs to. The two separate groups have been at war for decades!
Korel approaches the top of the gangplank and raises his frail arms outward as his yellow heart-light summons his crew back to the Mothership. For a moment the aliens are paralyzed themselves. The tiny creatures eventually look up with their large, expressive red eyes and begin their orderly processional back up into the spaceship.
Inside the craft is a vast assortment of large plants and animal-like beasts in cages of light — obviously specimens from past voyages.
At Elliott's home we see him climbing onto his roof to check E.T.'s COMMUNICATION, which has been anchored down and sending messages into space ever since E.T. left Earth.
Elliott's father returned from New Mexico months before and filed for divorce and moved back to New Mexico. But Elliott's family has seen harder times. And the fact that Mary has been dating Dr. Keys, since they met just before E.T. left, has eased the strain considerably.
One thing is certain... everybody under this household's roof has something in common - E.T.! Keys has told his story time and time again about his first meeting with the tiny, confused E.T. It is a story full of emotion, surprise and mystery. Keys never plays down how important that experience was to the direction his life took from then on. Keys admits his life ambitions were channeled toward more positive and rewarding goals. He didn't continue to live in a dream-world of hope that he would one day meet his space friend again, like he fears Elliot and his friends are now. Keys insists he chose to pursue medicine and science because of E.T.
Recently, Elliott has been sensing something he cannot explain. His umbrella COMMUNICATOR is reacting strangely now. He thinks it could be receiving a message from space!
In his room, Elliott is searching for something. On his wall is the Polaroid snapshot of himself with Michael and E.T. on Halloween night. Above his bed we see E.T.'s clay planets suspended by wire from the ceiling. Elliott emerges from the closet with a pot. His face becomes sad. The Geranium is still dead. He puts the pot on his dresser and sits on his bed, thinking.
Later, Elliott jumps up happy and races through his house. He finds Michael and Gertie and makes them promise their "most excellent promise" that they will tell nobody what they are about to do. Having finished that, Elliott calls his D&D buddies Steve, Tyler and Greg and tells them to ride their bicycles to the forest clearing because E.T. could be coming back!
There have been numerous reports of unexplained cattle mutilations in the surrounding countryside.
At the clearing we sense danger. We see shadows and undefined forms lurking in the nearby forest. Night is falling and in the distance we hear a commotion. Elliott and his friends are converging on the clearing unaware of any trouble. They arrive and dismount their bicycles.
In awe, everyone gazes upon the dark contours of the massive space machine. Suddenly the figure of Korel appears in an illuminated porthole. Telepathically Korel speaks to the children asking the whereabouts of the fugitive alien, Zrek. The children reply honestly that... "He's gone home!" Korel becomes angry, believing that they are lying.
When the children regain their senses, they are surrounded by the evil alien creatures who were hiding in the forest. The creatures are carrying some kind of dagger. Elliott advances in a friendly gesture but barely escapes being bitten, or even killed, by the alien's razor-sharp teeth! Several of the aliens bare their fangs from time to time to show they mean business. Korel orders that the children be brought aboard. Reluctantly Elliott and his friends follow.
In the hours that follow, Elliott and his companions are questioned extensively. But the aliens will not accept the truth in their responses. While one child is interrogated, another is being examined. Gertie is crying and calling for Mary and E.T. for help. The others endure (as their war-gaming experiences have taught them).
At Elliott's home, Mary is arriving from an extended date with Dr. Keys. They enter the empty house and proceed to investigate further why nobody is home. It is past 11:00 P.M.
It is now time for Elliott to be questioned. The aliens show no mercy when he replies with the truth. The questioning process intensifies when they learn from his memory that he has dealt directly with Zrek. The pain is tremendous for Elliott and he breaks down and begins screaming for E.T.'s help. Elliott black out but the echoes of his last cry can be heard from a distance. At this point we follow, upward, the echoing cry for E.T. into the cosmos where the painful cry seems to die.
In the meantime, Keys and Mary decide not to call the police yet. They hear a strange noise coming from somewhere. They finally realize that the sound is coming from the roof.
Mary leads the way to Elliott's room where there is a trap door leading to the attic. From there, Keys climbs out a window and up to the rooftop. He witnesses a bizarre sight... the COMMUNICATOR is vibrating crazily and rotating to a new position. The keyword read-out is repeat the same entry: "E.T. HELP ELLIOTT SOON."
Keys calls Mary to the roof. When she arrives to read the message, they embrace and go back through the attic, into Elliott's room. Mary turns and sees the Geranium blooming to life. She lets out a feeble yelp and begins to cry. Keys and Mary are now aware of what has been happening. They go to their car and head for the forest clearing.
Elliott is mentally and physically drained now.
Because he is no longer of any use to the aliens, they carry his limp body to a light cage where Michael and Gertie are already resting.
Suddenly we hear a strange resonating hum throughout the ship, yet it is not coming from within the ship. All the evil aliens freeze. A hatch opens to reveal E.T. with his glowing finger raised and his heart-light pulsating.
Elliott awakes immediately. E.T. advances toward the captives and deactivates the light cages. He and Elliott embrace with tears in their eyes.
Elliott, Michael, Gertie, Steve, Tyler and Greg leave the EVIL Mothership and wait for E.T. to come out after re-programming the alien's navigation controls. E.T. exits the ship and rejoins his faithful friends.
Soon after, Mary and Keys arrive and are reunited again with the magical little alien named E.T. After saying their tearful goodbyes, E.T.'s own Mothership descends from the Heavens to take the place of the evil ship that is now enroute to a remote corner of the galaxy.
There is HOPE in everyone's eyes as they all, again, behold the picturesque departure of their favorite alien. Dreams can come true

If you were scarred by E.T. as a kid, just be thankful this sequel never got made
By Reid McCarter – Published on February 24, 2021
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is a movie for kids. More specifically, it’s a movie for making sure kids never look into a closet filled with stuffed animals or take out the trash without feeling like there’s potential for a glassy-eyed space monster to appear unexpectedly and scare them half to death. As it turns out, the lifetime of nightmares contained within the original film—already more than enough for the world’s children—could have been doubled if, as was planned at one point, we got a sequel called E.T. 2: Nocturnal Fears.
YouTube channel Hemmas Studios focused on the stunningly-named Nocturnal Fears in a video about movies that got shelved before they could, say, be shown to crowds of kids who carried the scars of what they’d just witnessed for the rest of their lives. The E.T. sequel was, we learn, pitched with a nine-page treatment by the original movie’s director Steven Spielberg and writer Melissa Mathison. Though this treatment was written in 1982, not long after E.T.’s release, something seems to have fundamentally changed in Spielberg’s and Mathison’s psyches in the meantime.
The pitch is as follows: The first movie’s kids are lonely without their old pal E.T., but hopeful that they’ll be reunited with the tiny freak again one day soon. Their wishes seem to come true when they end up finding an alien ship. Unfortunately, the treatment tells us, “the aliens onboard are EVIL.” They’re also albino carnivores with big red eyes and fangs who are at war with E.T.’s people and have arrived on Earth to mutilate cattle, and torture the kids for information on their enemies’ whereabouts. During all of this, Elliott experiences “tremendous pain” and screams so loudly that his agony is heard throughout the universe. This brings E.T. back to save the human children from what we can only assume is dispassionate alien murder.
Oh, and apparently E.T.’s actual name is “Zrek.”
That’s too close to “Shrek” - and “Drek” <- "poop" in Yiddish.
So I’m using “Tzedek” <-- "Justice" in Hebrew.
Unsurprisingly, Spielberg decided later on that this extremely dark concept for E.T. 2 wasn’t something he wanted to pursue. Never one for sequels in the first place, Spielberg said a follow-up “would only rob the original of its virginity,” which is certainly one way to put it. Still, even without getting to see his unsettling ideas brought to life on the big screen, we’ll always have another venue for expanded-universe E.T. horror: A bunch of concepts for the alien’s design that could have given us an ’80s movie icon with a droopy, birdlike face, lanky torso, or a full set of smooch-ready lips.
E.T. 2; Nocturnal Fears (1982)
Spielberg’s Awesome WTF Sequel Treatment – ‘E.T. 2: NOCTURNAL FEARS’!
I’ve joked with friends for many years about Steven Spielberg’s classic film E.T. having a sequel made, that was only released for audiences overseas. I mean of course I’d want a sequel to the movie, but not some pile of sh*t that’s made today - where they f*ck everything up with bad “special” overblown f/x, a cut and paste recycled plot - and a cast of terrible new characters “who are passed the torch” from the beloved but neglected older now sidelined classic ones. Well come to find out that Spielberg was indeed planning a sequel to E.T. back in 1982!
He even wrote a story treatment for it that he actually turned in and while it’s not at all what you’d expect, it’s something just weird enough to have been the WTF cult classic E.T. deserved!
E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears (1982) By Steven Spielberg
'E.T.' turns 40: Steven Spielberg recalls how 6-year-old Drew Barrymore 'stormed' into Gertie role (4/2022 post)
"Drew came into my office and took over the meeting by storm," Spielberg said, speaking?at the "E.T." 40th-anniversary celebration at the 11th annual TCM Classic Film Festival in April.?"She stormed the citadel of my office at MGM. She really did."
The "Jaws" director was bowled over?by the young Barrymore who insisted she did not want to follow in her famous Barrymore family footsteps into acting because she was too busy with her (imaginary) punk rock band. Spielberg knew that kind of "inner life" would allow Barrymore to visualize the film's friendly alien, a mechanical puppet,?as actually alive...
E.T. 2; Plot
The film was supposed to have Elliott and his friends being kidnapped by extraterrestrial villains, and ET would have to save them.
In my movie, Gerdie tells E.T. that her iwatch can process messages anywhere on Earth.
What i predicted 10 years ago will soon be reality:
In a bid to attract the likes of hikers and other health-conscious consumers, Apple is upping its smartwatch game.
The company plans to bring satellite connections to its devices, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, citing anonymous sources. Its Apple Watch Ultra looks set to come with satellite capability in 2025 that will allow users to send text messages when they have no cellular or WiFi connection.
iPhone free texting over satellite feature
A blood pressure tool, which was previously delayed, may also be included. The news would mark a win for CEO Tim Cook; Apple has recently touted its devices as "lifesaving."
Bonus prediction:
In my 2017 Ghost-buster fan fiction sequel, i have a pair of smart watch ttype bracelets monitor and, if needed, call for help if the person wearing them has a critical health emergency.
As you see above, this capibility will aloso soon be a tech reality - no longer sci-fi.
