Related news indicates that Apple is originally scheduled to launch the Apple Watch Series 8 this year.Added body temperature measurement function, may not be immediately available initially.
Just like the electrocardiogram function added to the Apple Watch Series 2018 launched in 4, it was not immediately available when it was first launched, but was gradually opened to various regions later. The body temperature measurement function that will be added to the Apple Watch Series 8 may also be added through a software update after the launch.
According to previous rumors,Apple Watch Series 8The addition of the temperature measurement function is mainly to further determine changes in the wearer's physical condition. For example, it can be used to determine changes in the wearer's body temperature to more accurately track menstruation, or to determine whether the wearer has a fever, etc. It can also be used to enhance sleep quality tracking.
However, the current view is that the body temperature measurement function equipped by Apple in the Apple Watch Series 8 may only be able to present an approximate temperature difference range, but cannot accurately reflect the actual temperature.
Previously, Apple had apparently planned to add a temperature measurement feature to the Apple Watch Series 7, but the feature's release was delayed due to the algorithm not meeting Apple's expectations. However, body temperature fluctuations are influenced by many factors, including not only physical changes but also the ambient temperature. Without additional hardware sensors, relying solely on software algorithms to analyze temperature fluctuations would likely be difficult to accurately measure.
