It's still months before the release of the Apple Watch Series 8, but news about it has been coming out lately. According to foreign media reports, Apple Watch 8 will have a new breakthrough, which adds some important new features, let's take a look at it.
Blood glucose testing
As early as a few years ago, there were rumors that Apple planned to introduce blood glucose and blood pressure testing to the Apple Watch, and the company has repeatedly confirmed that it is true. According to foreign media, the blood glucose detection function will be added to the Apple Watch 8, in the watch dial position, equipped with an optical sensor, by applying light with known properties such as wavelength and energy to the sample, so as to determine the concentration of the target substance, simply put, directly through the skin can detect blood glucose levels.
For diabetics, the current conventional blood glucose testing methods are invasive, not only troublesome, but also very painful. So if apple watch 8's non-invasive blood glucose detection technology is realized, it will not only be a boon for diabetics, but also bring major changes to the entire medical system.
Temperature sensor
In the past two years, affected by the epidemic, people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. In the past, fever was a very common thing, but now don't talk about fever, even colds have made people panic. So Apple plans to add a temperature sensor to the Apple Watch to monitor the user's body temperature at any time and automatically notify the user of the abnormality of the body before the fever.
And it is reported that the temperature sensor also has a function is to track fertility, but because the news is relatively small, so it is not yet known how to apply.
Car accident detection
An important feature added to apple watch series 8 is car accident detection. This function uses sensors such as accelerometers to detect crashes that occur by measuring peak gravity. Once a car accident is detected, apple watch will automatically call the emergency service for help as soon as possible. Although this feature is rarely used, and no one wants to use it, as the old saying goes, some things can be used, but not without.
Other changes
At present, little is known about the exterior design of the Apple Watch 8, and the overall appearance should be similar to that of the 7th generation. It is reported that this year's Apple Watch 8 will have three sizes, in addition to the regular 41 mm and 45 mm, may also add larger sizes, giving users more diverse choices.
