Apple Watch Series 8 Body Temperature Monitor May Still Happen After All
As is the case with many leaks and unofficial tips, features that are reportedly about future products tend to turn around from time to time. One source will say that certain features will occur, while others will refute the claim later. Of course, sometimes it depends on the person who reports the features that are reportedly, but even the most productive advantage does not always do it properly. In the case of the Apple Watch Series 8, the end of this year, consensus will not be a big problem compared to its direct predecessor. One thing that might happen is a highly anticipated body temperature sensor, which can actually happen, with that assumption through a very tight Apple standard.
Over the years, smart watches have turned into what is basically a cellular diagnostic clinic, beyond the typical pedometer and altimeter to give the wearer a better picture of their health. Almost every model already has a heartbeat sensor, and some have a blood oxygen monitor that is very popular because of the COVID-19. Only a few smart watches, such as Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, boast about ECG functionality – and even later, it is limited to only a few regions.
Apple has been very obsessed with completing smart watches with every possible health feature, and for good reasons. There is a lot of headlines about how smart watches have saved lives either by warning the wearer about potential health problems or contacting emergency services in an accident. The next trick may not be the same sensational, but no doubt will help save life too.
Apple may beat Samsung to the punch
Rumors about smart watches that can precisely measure body temperature have been going on for a long time. Given how common the thermometer, it might surprise knowing that it is more difficult to do smart watches. Both Samsung and Apple are reportedly racing to be the first to come out with these features, but according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg (via 9to5mac), Apple really leads.
However, this is not an agreement made, and most will depend on whether the sensor error margin will be in an acceptable range for Apple – assuming the leak is accurate, of course. The reading that is provided by this body temperature sensor may not be accurate compared to the most basic thermometer, but it still needs to be useful to provide a picture of whether the user’s vital is in the normal range. Of course, if the output is too unreliable, Apple might cancel it at all supporting the release later. Even if it provides Apple’s standard, this feature will still require regulation approval before being activated in a particular market.
In addition to this new sensor, there may be nothing new to expect from the Apple Watch Series 8 later this year. Gurman previously claimed that the Apple S8 chip in this smart watch will be exactly the same as the Apple S6 processor from two years ago. The size and feature of smart watches will be almost identical too, the possibility of making it a small increase that is true -just only important if the body temperature sensor makes cutting.
