Apple smartwatch is quite popular due to its unique features. A unique feature is now going to be added to the upcoming Apple Watch, which will prove to be of great use to the people. In fact, Apple is vigorously testing the body temperature sensing capabilities of the Next Generation Watch Series 8. This information was given by Ming-Chi Kuo, the most trusted analyst at TFI Securities, who claims that a new sensor may be added to the upcoming Apple Watch.
This feature was to come first in Watch Series 7
According to the analyst, Apple is working hard to fine-tune the algorithm in its next smartwatch that will allow users to measure body temperature. A Bloomberg report from last year claimed that Apple “aimed to have a ‘body temperature sensor’ monitor in the Series 7. Apple canceled the body temperature measurement for the Apple Watch 7,” says Kuo Because the algorithm failed to qualify last year before entering the EVT stage.” EVT stands for Engineering Validation Test. Simply put, last year’s model failed to pass the test due to a software issue.
Tech companies have faced hurdles in bringing body temperature monitoring to smartwatches. “The challenge in implementing accurate measurements of body temperature is that skin temperature changes quickly depending on the external environment,” Kuo tweeted.

This feature is also coming in Samsung smartwatch
Samsung is another player planning to bring the body temperature monitoring feature to its next Galaxy smartwatch, which will be launched in the second half of the year. Algorithm is the issue here, it seems.
This feature will be of great use to such people.
Over the years, the Apple Watch has gained a number of health features, but lately the pace has slowed. Body temperature monitoring would be a logical step if Apple wants to position its smartwatch as a health device. Think about the effect of the feature on an elderly or pregnant woman.
When will the new watch launch?
Apple is reportedly working on three new smartwatches for this year, a new flagship Series 8, an updated version of the Watch SE, and an all-new rugged Apple Watch designed for serious athletes. All three new Apple Watch models are expected to arrive at the same time with the iPhone 14 which has no notch.
