Apple has now reached its much anticipated 10 year milestone since its debut and has announced to have geared up for a major redesign dubbed the “Apple Watch X”. As the Apple Watch approaches its much-anticipated 10-year milestone since its debut, Apple is reportedly gearing up for a major redesign called the “Apple Watch X.”
Analyst Mark Gurman says that this upcoming version is the most exciting overhaul yet for the popular wearable. Gurman, via 9To5Mac, claims that the redesign will introduce a sleeker profile and a new magnetic band system, albeit at the cost of compatibility with existing Apple Watch bands. Although the exact date for the very awaited “Apple Watch X” is not yet decided, it is said to launch in the year 2024, but there is a slight possibility that it may delay to 2025 due to production complexities.
The most awaited and exciting feature in Apple’s wearable tech realm is the integration of blood pressure monitoring, this was a goal planned since the Apple Watch’s initial days. Bloomberg announces that Apple is on track to achieve this feature soon. The upcoming Apple Watch model is predicted to have a blood pressure sensor for the first time, albeit offering insights into blood pressure trends over time rather than precise systolic and diastolic readings.
Users will get notified if their blood pressure goes upward, prompting them to note relevant circumstances associated with any spikes. As Apple continues to refine a system capable of delivering accurate blood pressure readings, these advancements are expected to materialize in the near future, along with the inclusion of sleep apnea detection which is another notable addition to the Apple Watch’s health-focused features. This feature, anticipated to debut as early as this year, will utilize the device’s sensors to monitor users’ sleep patterns and breathing and would detect and manage sleep-related disorders, potentially reducing the need for traditional overnight sleep studies in some cases.
