The well-known analyst Ming Chi Kuo’ recently talked about the new Apple Watch Series 8 that the Cupertino giant should be launched in the second half of the year, and has been rumored for some time now. In particular, one of the biggest challenges would be in measuring body temperature, which due to some limitations may not even happen in the following devices.
Find below his Tweet and our translation, which explores the question and its possibility in depth Apple has finally managed to overcome this major obstacle after a long time.

Apple canceled the body temperature measurement for Apple Watch 7 because the algorithm failed to qualify before entering the EVT stage last year. I believe Apple Watch could take 8 in 2H22 body temperature if the algorithm can meet Apple’s high demands for mass production.– 錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) May 1, 2022
Apple canceled the body temperature measurement of the Apple Watch 7 because the algorithm failed before the devices went into EVT (technical evaluation). I believe that the Apple Watches of the second half of 2022 will be able to measure body temperature in case the algorithm has been able to meet Apple’s very high demands before the mass production phase.
The challenge in implementing accurate body temperature measurement is that it varies widely based on the external environment. A smartwatch cannot measure body temperature in terms of hardware and therefore needs an excellent algorithm to work with it. Samsung is also taking up this challenge. Contrary to some previous reports, I believe that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 arriving in the second half of 2022 will not support body temperature measurement due to algorithm limitations.
Obviously, all that remains is to wait a few more months to find out whether the behemoth will have succeeded in its goal that has been talked about for many years, thus successfully implementing what was recently expected in its smart watches .
