Well-known whistleblower Mark Gurman recently said that Apple is expected to launch a newly designed Apple Watch X smart watch in 2024. The watch will be equipped with two functions: "sleep apnea monitoring" and "blood glucose monitoring".
It is reported that the "sleep apnea monitoring" function requires multiple sensors built into Apple to detect whether the human body will show signs of "apnea" during sleep. This disease can cause people to die from suffocation in their sleep. In addition, "blood glucose monitoring" requires the use of the short-wave infrared sensor built into the watch, so that the watch can measure the sugar content in the wearer's blood.
In addition, it is rumored that the new Apple Watch Ultra will use a Micro-LED display panel, and the screen size will be 2.21 inches, which is 10% larger than the current screen area. Compared with current OLED panels, Apple's Micro-LED display panels have the advantages of higher brightness, stronger color reproduction capabilities, higher color saturation and better viewing angles, and have better energy consumption performance. Excellent too.
However, there are still many speculations about the specific launch time of Apple Watch Ultra. Ross Young predicts it will be available in 2025, while TrendForce predicts it will be available in 2026.
