Apple has announced a free repair program for faulty Watch Series 6 units having a specific screen problem. There is a small percentage of the 44mm Apple Watch Series 6 units that have a defective screen. The issue causes the screen to go blank permanently.

The blank screen issue affects some Apple Watch Series 6 units produced between April and September 2021. Apple is therefore offering a free service to rectify the specific issue in the specified devices. Users who fall within this category can verify whether they are qualified for the free service via Apple’s official website. Using the serial number checker on the website, you can determine if your watch is eligible for the repair program. All identified owners of screen-defective units of the Apple Watch Series 6 will have their watches repaired for free. This can be done at official Apple facilities or authorized service providers.

Apple says the repair relates only to the blank screen issue in the Apple Watch Series 6. If any other issue is established in the course of the evaluation, the owner will bear the cost of such repair. Apple Watch Series 6 users globally are eligible for the repair service and covers devices bought within two years of the first sale of the product.

It is unclear what could have caused the defective screens from being identified prior to distribution to the market. Apple has not also clarified whether the specified units with this defect came from the same production batch. Apple has continued to blaze the trail in the smart wearables segment of the market. The Apple Watch Series 6 was a very successful model and helped push apple to the top. Apple followed it with the Watch Series 7, while its successor is by the corner.

The post Apple announces free repairs for Watch Series 6 units with blank screen problem appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple is currently the leader of the global smartwatch market. Its Watch series has been a success across the globe, thanks to the company’s aggressive marketing. Now, a new report has revealed that the brand’s latest Apple Watch Series 6 just costs 136 US Dollars to make.

According to a Counterpoint Research report, the BoM analysis (bill of materials) for the Watch Series 6 has revealed that the device costs about 136 US Dollars to build. The cost for the application processor, display, sensors, and casing together alone accounts for roughly 68 percent of the wearable’s total value. The Watch Series 6 features an Always On Retina LTPO OLED display that offers 1000 nits of peak brightness. But since the company excluded the Force Touch feature in the model, the overall BoM was reduced.

This even made the smartwatch from the Cupertino based giant slimmer by 0.3mm as well compared to its predecessor. This has the display along with the touch module strengthened by ION-X glass account for about 13.2 percent of the device’s total value. Arriving at the SIP (System In Package), the latest Apple Watch ships with dual cores that are based on the A13 chipsets’ “little” power efficient cores, which the iPhone maker claims is 20 percent faster than the previous generation’s SIP.

The smartwatch’s SIP module, along with the 1GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 32GB internal storage makes up roughly 23.7 percent of the overall cost of the device. For those unaware, the Watch Series 6 starts from 399 US Dollars in the US. Apple products are known to have a sizeable profit margin, so it arrives as no surprise that the actual cost is less than half its retail price tag.

It starts at $279.

Best non-Wear OS Smartwatches – Samsung Galaxy Watch3 and Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro

If you want a smartwatch that doesn’t run Wear OS, then you can choose between Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 3 and Huawei’s Watch GT 2 Pro. Both watches run their own proprietary operating systems – LiteOS on the Huawei watch and Tizen OS on the Samsung watch.

These two watches combine style and functionality and are made from premium materials including titanium. Both watches have ECG*, blood oxygen level measurement, sleep monitoring, and support for professional sports. The Galaxy Watch 3 starts at $399 while the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro starts at €299.

It packs a 1.3-inch transflective display with a 260 x 260 resolution and Gorilla Glass DX or Sapphire Crystal. Alongside all you will expect from a standard smartwatch, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro justifies its price tag with a lot of premium features you won’t find on most of the other watches on this list.

It allows you to add maps; store up to 2000 songs on its 32GB of built-in storage; provides support for pre-loaded activities such as skiing, trail running, rowing, and golfing; and provides access to CourseView maps for more than 41,000 golf courses across the world.

Honorable Mention – Amazfit T-Rex

At $699.99, the Fenix 6 Pro will definitely be out of the range of several folks, but you can pick up the Amazfit T-Rex rugged smartwatch for a fraction of that price, $139.99 to be precise. It misses out on several features of the Garmin watch but if all you want is a watch that will survive outdoors, then it will do.

It has 12 military-grade certifications and will handle extreme temperatures and weather. The AMOLED screen is 1.3 inches in size just like that of the Fenix 6 Pro but it is sharper as its resolution is higher.

At its recent ‘Time Flies’ virtual event, Apple unveiled the next-generation Apple Watch Series 6 models, along with Apple Watch SE and a few other devices. The highlight of this new smartwatch is that it comes with a feature for blood oxygen monitoring.

During the announcement, Apple had revealed that the feature will be available in selected countries only. Now, it has been confirmed that the Apple Watch Series 6 models in China will have support for blood oxygen monitoring.

Apple had introduced the ECG monitoring feature with the Watch Series 4 but the feature didn’t make it to the Chinese variants. The ECG feature has been limited to certain countries only because of regulatory approvals. So, people in China were hoping that Apple doesn’t follow the same for the new SpO2 monitoring feature.

Given that the blood oxygen monitoring feature isn’t strictly controlled by regulatory authorities, it is possible for Apple to offer the feature is almost every region. Thus, the feature will be available in about 108 countries and regions.

The blood oxygen monitoring feature takes about 15 seconds to complete the process and the function is accomplished using both red and infrared light. The device is powered by a new S6 processor, which is based on the A13 chipset.

It is running on the latest watchOS 7 which was introduced earlier this year during WWDC. There’s native sleep tracking support, a rebranded Fitness app with new workouts, a hand-washing feature tailored for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, richer complications, and the ability to share watch faces, and more.

The company says that the smartwatch offers 18 hours of battery life, the same as its predecessor. It also comes with support for fast charging which can recharge the device in about one and a half hours.

Apple today held an event where it announced a new Watch Series 6 alongside the iPad Air and Watch SE. The new Watch Series 6 retains the design of the previous Watch Series 4 and Series 5. However, this model comes with a number of new sensors which enables new features such as blood oxygen monitoring and better sleep tracking.

The blood oxygen level monitoring feature on the Watch Series 6 completes the process in about 15 seconds. This is accomplished using both red and infrared light. The company says it’s partnering with health networks to start large-scale studies using the new blood oxygen measurement feature, including testing to see if it can detect if a person is infected with COVID-19.

Crammed inside the Watch Series 6 is a new S6 processor which is based on the A13 chip. The processor is an upgrade over the S4 and S5 chips that were used on the Series 4 and at year’s Series 5 models. Despite the improvement in the performance, the Watch 6 retains the 18 hours battery life of the prior model. It also comes with fast charging which can be refilled in about one and a half hours between charges.

Further, it comes with always-on display which Apple touts to be 2.5 times brighter than that of the Series 5. It’s also now possible to access notifications, Control Center, change watch faces, or tap on complications without fully waking the screen. Another new sensor is the always-on altimeter, which provides real-time elevation information.

The Watch Series 6 comes in gray, silver, gold, or blue aluminium finishes. There is also a new Product (RED) version that has a striking red finish on it. The stainless steel model is available in either graphite or yellow gold, but the silver chrome model appears to be no longer available. The top-end Edition model is available in natural or black titanium, but no ceramic options this year.

Apple says the aluminium models are made of 100 percent recycled aluminium, much like the newer MacBook Pro models. In addition, Apple is announcing a new strap called the “Solo Loop” that is made from one piece of silicone, without any buckles or adjustments. It is available in a range of styles and seven different colors. There is also a braided Solo Loop made from yarn that’s available in five colors. Finally, Apple is releasing a new leather link strap.

On the software side, the smartwatch runs on watchOS 7. The OS brings native sleep tracking support, a rebranded Fitness app with new workouts, a hand-washing feature tailored for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, richer complications, and the ability to share watchfaces with others.

Further, Apple also announced a new feature called Family Setup, which allows parents to set up managed Apple Watches for their kids who don’t have iPhones of their own. Parents will be able to manage who the child can message or call from the watch, set up location alerts, add do not disturb modes for school time, and a new watchface will inform teachers that the watch is in DND mode from a glance. Family Setup requires a cellular Apple Watch model and will be available through a handful of carriers at launch.

Family Setup allows parents to remotely manage a child’s Apple Watch.
Apple is also debuting a new service for the Apple Watch called Fitness Plus, a subscription service for virtual workouts and improved fitness tracking features.

As for the pricing, the Apple Watch Series 6 will retail for $399 for the 40mm model while the cellular models start at $499. The Series 6 is available to order starting today, September 15th and will start shipping on Friday, September 18th. Do note that Apple is implementing shipping the watch without a USB power adapter as part of efforts to reduce waste.

Apple Watch SE

Alongside the Series 6, Apple also announced a new Apple Watch SE. The watch comes with a lower price tag than Watch Series 6. The Watch SE is a successor to the three-year-old Apple Watch Series 3 and it starts at $279; cellular models start at $329. It’s available this Friday, but you can order it today.

Despite the cheap pricing, the Watch SE comes with an array of features that are found on the Watch Series 6 such as built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, and always-on altimeter, as well as sleep tracking and hand-washing detection. The cellular models are also capable of making emergency calls, even internationally, with the Emergency SOS feature.

The watch uses the S5 System in Package (SiP) and dual-core processor, which Apple says will allow for up to two times better performance than we saw from the Series 3.Apple says the SE’s Retina display is 30 percent larger than that of the Series 3. It’s also compatible with all Apple Watch bands, including the new silicone “Solo Loop” and yarn “Braided Solo Loop” that Apple announced during the event.

The SE will run watchOS 7 and comes loaded with a new activity app (“Fitness Plus”), which includes workout tracking and virtual classes. It’s the first fitness service built for Apple Watch, and you’ll get three free months with the purchase of an Apple Watch (it’s $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year after that).

The Watch SE will also support Apple’s new Family Setup, which allows parents to set up and manage Apple Watches for their kids, including features like message monitoring and location alerts. And you’ll be able to share watch faces with others, using Apple’s new Face Sharing feature. watchOS 7 comes with seven new watch-face options.

Apple has already confirmed that the launch of this year’s iPhone models has been “postponed by a few weeks.” While the company has not yet revealed the launch dates, the new iPhone 12 series is expected to go official by mid-October.

The company has been historically launching the new iPhone models in the month of September. This time, while the iPhone launch is postponed, the company has planned to launch a couple of other devices.

Earlier, YouTuber Jon Prosser had said that Apple could launch the new iPad and the Watch Series 6 in September and it seems that his predictions could turn out to be true. Both the devices have passed through the Eurasian Economic Commission, hinting at an imminent launch of the new iPad and Apple Watch models.

The listing in the database shows a tablet computer with ‘Apple’ trademark and note that mentions that it runs iPadOS 14 which was announced a couple of months ago during the online WWDC 2020.

The model numbers for the upcoming iPad include A2072, A2270, A2316, A2324, A2325 A2428, and A2429. On the other hand, the Apple Watch also appeared in the database with model numbers A2291, A2292, A2351, A2352, A2355, A2356, A2375, and A2376. The note adds that the smartwatch will run watchOS 7, announced during WWDC this year.

EEC does not reveal the specifications so we don’t know what the devices pack internally and how they differ from the existing models. But we expect to know all these details in the coming days or weeks.

While Apple has not yet confirmed the launch date for both these devices, reports indicate that the launch could take place during the week of September 7. If this turns out to be true, then this will be the first that Apple will launch its new smartwatch before launching the new iPhone models.

Apple Watches are arguably the best smartwatches available in the market. Over the years, the Cupertino-based tech giant improved the product line with new hardware and useful software features. According to a new report, the upcoming Apple Watch Series 6 will finally bring support for monitoring blood oxygen level and sleep tracking.

The iPhone maker is expected to introduce Apple Watch Series 6 in fall 2020 alongside iPhone 12 series. As per a new report by DigiTimes (via MacRumors), it will finally come with the most requested features on the wearable.

The report says that Taiwan’s ASE has got major SiP orders for the forthcoming Apple Watch. Also, the sources of the publication mention the new smartwatch to feature biosensors to monitor sleeping conditions, detect blood oxygen, and measure pulse rates, heartbeats as well as atrial fibrillation. The wearable is said to incorporate MEMS-based accelerometer and gyroscope for precise measurements.

This is no the first time we are hearing about Apple Watch with support for monitoring blood oxygen level. This feature was already spotted in an iOS 14 leaked code in March.

Apart from the above-mentioned additions, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, the Apple Watch Series 6 is also expected to feature LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) for the flexible circuit board.
