The next Apple Watch could add an important sensor upgrade and perhaps improvements in battery life.
There’s some confusion over exactly when Apple is having its next product launch event, but we are expecting the iPhone 12 and the Apple Watch 6 to appear together – and some extra details on the smartwatch have spilled out online. First up is a report from well-known Chinese outlet DigiTimes, which says the upcoming smartwatch will indeed have a blood oxygen sensor packed in, according to its sources – a rumor that we’ve heard before. The level of oxygen in the blood can be a good indicator of respiratory problems and other health issues, so it would work like the electrocardiogram feature already on current Apple Watch models: warning you about potential problems ahead of time, and without a visit to the doctor.
