Rumors speak of a complete redesign of the Apple Watch, which could be called “Apple Watch X.” As we approach the device’s 10th anniversary, Apple is aiming for an update that Mark Gurman calls “the biggest redesign ever.” A sleeker design could feature a slimmer profile and a new magnetic strap system that makes existing straps incompatible. Although it is possible that it will be released in 2024, it may be postponed to 2025.
Blood pressure monitoring has been a coveted feature since the launch of the Apple Watch. According to Bloomberg, Apple will finally introduce this feature this year. But there is a caveat: the first app will not provide accurate systolic and diastolic pressure measurements. Instead, it will monitor your blood pressure over time, like a body temperature function. Users will receive notifications about uptrends and save potential triggers. Although a more accurate system has been developed, it is “still far from perfect.”
Another interesting addition is the sleep apnea detection feature. Working similarly to other medical features, Apple Watch will monitor sleep and breathing to detect possible sleep apnea. Nowadays, night sleep studies are often required to diagnose sleep apnea. If Apple Watch proves effective in preliminary detection, diagnostic accessibility could be significantly improved.
