With the launch of the Apple Watch Series 7, many were left disappointed that the new smartwatch from the company lacked a some of the latest sensors that are offered by some of its rival brands in the wearable market. Now, a new report has shared more details regarding this and, unfortunately, there are some bad news.
The news arrives from the latest Power On newsletter from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (Via 9To5Mac), in which he talked about the new sensors that Apple is currently working on and when we might possibly we see it on the commercial build of its smartwatch. Gurman stated that the three major health tracking sensors that are currently available in the market will not be available on the Apple Watch anytime soon.
The features in question include the glucose/blood sugar monitoring, blood pressure mapping, and measuring body temperature. So while the Cupertino based giant is supposedly working on these sensors, Gurman believes that these features are still several years away. In other words, the next gen Watch Series 8’s latest health tracking feature might be the advanced sleep pattern monitoring system that can even detect sleep apnea.
Keep in mind that the launch of the new Apple Watch is still many months away. So, it is still too early to confirm any finer details regarding the upcoming smartwatch at the moment. On the other hand, the iPhone maker is rumored to launch an updated SE version of its Watch, alongside a new rugged sports variant, and the flagship Watch Series 8. So, stick around for more updates, as we will be covering any notable leaks or rumors regarding this matter.
