What’s coming for the Apple Watch Series 8?
Two major new features are particularly expected for the Apple Watch Series 8. The first concerns glycemic analysis which would allow people with diabetes to easily monitor their blood glucose levels. This application could in particular replace the current instruments which are quite restrictive to use for people with diabetes.
The other app expected on the Apple Watch Series 8 would be blood pressure tracking. If the latter was, at the base, to be planned on the future Series 8, it would seem that it is finally postponed. A Bloomberg article indicates in particular that Apple would have encountered difficulties in integrating this novelty, and that the corresponding technology would not be ready with 2024 at the earliest.
Note that Apple is planning not one, but three new Apple Watch models for 2022. If the Apple Watch Series 8 is on the list, it should also be accompanied by a new SE model, but also by a more robust version for athletes.
The latest Apple Watch Series 7 has been displayed from €429 since its release at the end of 2021. However, there are already promotional offers from various merchants such as Amazon or Rakuten. It is therefore common to find it at an excellent price, especially during special operations such as Black Friday, sales or French Days.
It was one of the big news announced during Apple’s September 2021 Keynote. The new version of the Apple Watch Series 7 has some new features to improve the user experience. It thus allows Apple to remain one of the leaders in the field of connected watches, in particular by offering:
- Less thick borders in order to have a larger display on the screen.
- An optimized interface, which notably has two font sizes as well as a new easy-to-access QWERTY keyboard.
- An IP6X protection certification that guarantees resistance to dust, while benefiting from the WR50 index for water resistance.
- Better optimization of the battery in order to have an autonomy of 18 hours on average and a recharge 33% faster than the previous generation.
