The upcoming Apple Watch Series 8 will be able to tell a user if they think they have a fever due to a higher than normal body temperature thanks to a new integrated sensor, according to the reliable Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.
In the latest issue of his Power On newsletter, Gurman says the Apple Watch Series 8 will feature a new body temperature sensor, as the sensor passes Apple’s internal testing.
Gurman notes, however, that he believes the sensor is “a test” for both the standard 8 series and a new “rugged model” designed for athletes. Unlike a traditional dedicated thermometer, the Apple Watch will not give users a direct reading of their current body temperature, but will directly warn users if they think they have a fever.
You can expect some new health tracking features on this year’s Apple Watch. In April, I reported that Apple aimed to add body temperature detection to its 8 Series model, assuming the capacity exceeded the meeting during internal testing. Now I think the feature is a possibility for both the standard Apple Watch Series 8 and a new rugged edition aimed at extreme sports athletes.
In January, Gurman said the internal talk of a body temperature sensor for the Apple Watch Series 8 had slowed. Since then, it seems that enthusiasm for the feature has increased within Apple, helping to drive development. Apple has often added new sensors and health capabilities to the Apple Watch, and the latest addition is the blood watch sensor from the Apple Watch Series 6.
In addition to the new body temperature sensor, the WatchApple Watch Series 8 is expected to maintain the same design as the Apple Watch Series 7, including the same processor as the 6 and 7 Series. Gurman noted today that the Apple Watch Series 8 could include updated screens. in high-end models.
