Apple Watch Series 8 May Detect Fever of the Watch User



The Apple Watch 8 may potentially be more comparable to the Apple Watch 7 than previously thought. Previously, Apple Watch improvements were primarily incremental. As a result, we don't anticipate major modifications to the Apple Watch 8, but we do expect new specifications and features to make the finest smartwatch even better.

Watch Might Detect Fevers

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the next Apple Watch Series 8 will have a body temperature sensor that can detect if you have a fever. Instead than providing a precise measurement, Gurman thinks the watch should detect a rise in body temperature and prompt you to see a doctor or use a thermometer.

Moreover, sources claim, the body temperature sensor must still pass internal testing before being included in the Watch Series 8, as well as the anticipated "rugged" wristwatch for extreme sports players. The sensor is unlikely to be included in the next entry-level Apple Watch SE.

For nearly a year, rumors about a new body temperature sensor have circulated. Ming-Chi Kuo, a supply chain specialist, anticipates the sensor will be released later this year.

According to previous reports by The Wall Street Journal, the body temperature sensor might potentially be used for fertility monitoring - changes in body temperature could assist someone estimate when they're more likely to become pregnant or forecast when they'll have their period. Gurman's most recent report only addressed fever detection, so it's unclear what kind of data sharing will be done or how this feature works.

Aside from the body temperature sensor, Gurman claims that any additional upgrades to the Apple Watch's hardware will be "minimal," and he also suggests that higher-end versions may have a better display. Gurman projected last week that the Series 8 CPU would have the same level of performance as the preceding S7 and S6 processors, with no update probable until 2023. In terms of health-tracking capabilities on other future products, Gurman believes that the latest model of AirPods Pro, which is supposed to be fitness-focused, will not have temperature or heart rate sensors this year.
