Apple Watch Series 8 could be able to inform if you’re fever

According to report, the upcoming Apple Watch will purportedly have a body temperature sensor that will alert you if you’re developing a fever. Even though the Series 8 won’t give an exact reading, it may send you a notification asking you to visit a doctor or use a special thermometer.

Gurman has suggested the potential of a temperature sensor being a part of the Series 8 previously. In June 2021, he initially claimed that Apple was developing the functionality and predicted that it will probably be included in the company’s 2022 lineup of wearables. In January, he changed his mind and told his followers that, among other features, blood sugar monitoring was still a few years away.

But a few months later, he declared that if the body temperature sensor passed Apple’s internal testing standards, it would be included in the Series 8. The feature is now “a go,” according to Gurman, writing in the most recent issue of his Power On newsletter, for both the regular Series 8 and the frequently rumoured rugged variant Apple is developing for extreme athletes.

Other modifications to the Series 8 “will probably be minor,” according to Gurman. He predicts that the wearable will have the same processing capability as the Series 7 and Series 6, repeating his reporting from last week. He also notes the possibility of an upgraded display in higher-end Series 8 phones. The second-generation AirPods Pro are another gadget that supposedly won’t receive many changes.

According to Gurman, they will not have functions for tracking body temperature or heart rate, as some sources had stated. Although these improvements have been looked into within the firm and may come at some point, he says, “I’m told that neither feature is likely to arrive in the 2022 upgrade, though both enhancements have been explored inside the company and could arrive one day.”
