Apple Watch Series 8 can measure body temperature, depending on the quality of the algorithm

Apple Watch Series 7 was first rumored to feature a new body temperature sensor last year, but as we all know, the feature didn’t pan out — and a complete redesign of the Watch.

With the Apple Watch Series 8, it appears the wearable could be equipped with this sensor under one important condition. “Apple canceled body temperature measurement for Apple Watch Series 7 because the algorithm failed to qualify before entering the EVT stage last year. If the algorithm can meet Apple’s high requirements before mass production, I believe the Apple Watch Series 8 in 2H22 can measure body temperature. ."

Reports on the upcoming body temperature measurement sensor on Apple Watch Series 8. Since people typically measure body temperature somewhere other than their wrists, an accurate algorithm is more important than necessary to make this sensor work.

"The challenge in implementing accurate body temperature measurement is that skin temperature changes rapidly based on the external environment," "Smartwatches cannot support core temperature measurement in hardware, so it requires an excellent algorithm to work together." ”

“Unlike previous media reports, I believe that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 in 2H22 may not support body temperature measurement due to algorithm limitations.” Only time will tell whether the Apple Watch Series 8 will be equipped with body temperature measurement sensor. Here you can find what we expect Apple to add to new watch models this year.
