Latest Insights on the Upcoming Apple Watch Series 10
The latest Apple Watch update brings a major design overhaul with the launch of the Apple Watch Series 10. This new model boasts a slimmer design, larger screen, and reduced bezels, all while maintaining its durability. The Series 10 is lined up to be the "thinnest Apple watch" yet, standing at 9.7 mm, a 10% reduction compared to its previous version.
Apple has opted for lighter-weight materials such as aluminum and titanium, with the latter weighing 10% less than before. The slimness of the device allows developers to incorporate a larger screen and sloping display, offering a so-called "wide-angle OLED" that is claimed to be 40% brighter than its predecessor when viewed from an angle.
In terms of color options, Apple's Series 10 offers anodized black, rose gold, and classic silver versions, along with the popular titanium option. The new design comes with a fresh watch face and sloped display, which gives the device a distinct look compared to the prior Series 9.
One significant change is the renewed focus on health features, with the watch now capable of detecting sleep apnea. Apple's new sleep apnea detection feature uses the watch's accelerometer to track breathing patterns and notifies users if any potential sleep issues are detected through the Apple Health app. The feature aims to provide users with an early warning and guide them to consult a medical professional.
Apple's approach to sleep apnea detection differs from other smartwatch manufacturers like Samsung, which uses a separate BioActive Sensor and requires users to manually log multiple sleep cycles to identify sleep apnea. Apple's algorithm operates in two layers: Nightly Tracking and 30-Day Assessment, and provides users with a detailed readout, educational resources, and three months' worth of breathing disturbance data.
Coming back to the Series 10, the watch set to debut on September 20 with pre-orders available today, priced at $400 for the GPS version and $500 for the cellular version. The sleep apnea feature will be made available for previous models as well, making it a valuable addition for users of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Series 9.
On September 20, Apple Watch Series 10 joins the tech world with a fresh, slimmer design and numerous health features - topping the list among them being sleep apnea detection. This smartwatch doesn't skimp on improvements, ensuring the wearable experience gets an upgrade, including faster charging and smaller internal modules, maintaining the same band connection points so users can retain their favorite bands.
The tech industry is eagerly anticipating the future applications of Apple's new slimmer design and larger screen on the Series 10 smartwatch. With the renewed focus on health features, the smartwatch's ability to detect sleep apnea sets it apart from competitors like Samsung. Cupertino's approach to sleep apnea detection using an algorithm with two layers could potentially revolutionize the way sleep disorders are monitored. By 2024, smartwatches with such advanced features could significantly impact our daily health monitoring and lifestyle.
