Apple Watch Series 10 with bigger displays and new chips may miss on key health features

The upcoming Apple Watches are said to benefit from 3D-printed components, which are said to have helped Apple in making these devices thinner and lighter, without compromising on features or build quality.

While most of the other popular Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac are getting new AI features, also known as Apple Intelligence, it is said that Apple currently has no plans to introduce the same for Apple Watches.

It was earlier reported that Apple was developing special health features for the Watch Series 10, such as hypertension and sleep apnea detection. However, the latest report from Bloomberg suggests that Apple has hit several roadblocks in development, and these features are still said to be in the development stage.

It is said that the hypertension detection feature is unreliable at the current stage, and the sleep apnea detection is also said to be facing trouble, as it requires blood oxygen monitoring, which is currently under legal dispute with Masimo in the US.

According to the report, it’s unclear if Apple will introduce the special anniversary edition watches with a design overhaul at its next launch event in September 2024 or if they will only be coming in 2025.
