Each answer resolves independently based on Apple’s official materials published on September 9, 2025 (Pacific Time) and the official event video:
Primary sources: Apple Newsroom posts and product pages (e.g., iPhone/Watch/AirPods/AirTag “Tech Specs” pages) and Apple’s official YouTube event video.
“iPhone 17 Air” refers to Apple’s new ultra‑thin iPhone model introduced at the event, regardless of final marketing name. If no such new ultra‑thin model is announced, Air‑specific answers resolve NO.

@Jubs GPT and Gemini both say no, resolving accordingly. I provided the full Hypertension Notifications text from here.
Gemini:
Based on the text you provided, the person who bet AGAINST the "Apple Watch Ultra 3 includes blood pressure monitoring capabilities" should win the bet.
Here's the breakdown of why:
The key difference is between monitoring blood pressure and detecting signs of hypertension.
Blood Pressure Monitoring: This implies the ability to take a measurement and get a specific reading, such as 120/80 mmHg (systolic/diastolic). This is what a traditional blood pressure cuff does. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 cannot do this.
Hypertension Notifications: This is what the Apple Watch Ultra 3 actually does. It uses the existing optical heart sensor to analyze data over long periods (30 days) to detect trends or signs that are consistent with hypertension. It's an early warning system, not a measurement tool.
GPT:
What the Apple Watch Ultra 3 actually does:
It does not measure blood pressure directly.
It provides “hypertension notifications” using the optical heart sensor and machine learning.
This means the watch looks for patterns associated with hypertension in pulse wave data, but it doesn’t give you a systolic/diastolic blood pressure reading.
If you get a notification, Apple explicitly tells you to confirm with a traditional blood pressure cuff and log readings for your doctor.
Blood pressure monitoring (the strict definition):
Requires an actual blood pressure reading (e.g., “120/80 mmHg”), typically using an inflatable cuff or a cuffless validated sensor.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 cannot provide this. It only detects signs that you might have hypertension.
The difference in phrasing:
“Includes blood pressure monitoring” → Suggests the watch itself measures blood pressure.
What Apple announced → It detects possible hypertension via notifications, but does not monitor or measure blood pressure values.
