Gurman: Apple Watch Series 8 will get a temperature sensor and will be able to detect the user's fever

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has published a new release of his Power On newsletter, which talks about the Apple Watch Series 8.

What to Expect?

According to Gurman, the Apple Watch Series 8 will get a body temperature sensor, which, by the way, has already been internally tested by Apple. This will be the next step after adding a pulse oximeter (a sensor that measures blood oxygen levels) to the Apple Watch Series 6.

In fact, the body temperature sensor will not display specific values - instead, the watch will be able to alert the user that they have a fever.

"You can expect some new health tracking features in this year's Apple Watch. In April, I reported that Apple was looking to add body temperature sensing to its Series 8 model, assuming the feature would be tested during internal testing. I now believe the feature is appropriate for both the standard Apple Watch Series 8 and the new secure version designed for extreme athletes," Gurman notes.
