Apple's next smartwatch might enable temperature sensing and is also slated to get new software tricks, but the ability to measure blood pressure is delayed.
Apple is reportedly prepping a smorgasbord of exciting new features and capabilities for the Apple Watch in the coming years. As per a Bloomberg report, Apple is planning to add new features targeting sleep, fitness, and medication management for women. The Workout app for Apple Watch is touted to get new metrics and support for more exercise types.
The company also aims to use it for fever detection. Interestingly, the body-temperature sensor likely won’t tell the temperature reading, and will only alert about variations in body temperature compared to normal levels. There are also plans for adding support for third-party blood glucose meters to the Health app.
There are also plans for an improved low-power mode in WatchOS 9, allowing users to interact with a handful of apps and access a few features. It is currently called Power Reserve, and once enabled, it only shows time on the screen. One can’t use an app, and the Watch also stops communicating with paired devices.
A few marquee delays The list of rumored feature updates for the Apple Watch Series 8 is exciting, but there are a few marquee features that have been delayed. As per the report, the blood pressure monitoring tech for the Apple Watch won’t be ready until 2024 at the earliest, and will more likely arrive in 2025.
