Apple Watch With Blood Pressure Monitoring, Sleep Apnea Detection Coming in 2024: Mark Gurman

Published by Webster

Apple recently launched its Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 alongside the iPhone 15 series. The company has since been reported to be working on newer features that are likely to be included in upcoming models. Now, analyst Mark Gurman reiterates these claims and suggests that the Cupertino-based tech giant is likely to bring several upgrades to the next Apple Watch models. This is said to be because the present lineup is not expected to do well in the market considering it does not offer anything vastly different from the older models. Gurman, in his latest weekly newsletter, Power On, said that the Apple Watch will likely be equipped with hypertension and sleep apnea detection features in the future. These are expected to help alert users if they suspect any of the conditions and recommend further medical attention. Apple had also previously been tipped to be working on a non-invasive blood sugar monitoring feature. The inclusion of these features is expected to make future Apple Watch models seem more worthy of upgrade, according to Gurman. He …

Apple’s 4th Generation AirPods to Get New Design, Updated Case, ANC Support: Mark Gurman

Published by Webster

Apple is expected to introduce its next generation of truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones in 2024. It is said to succeed the AirPods (3rd Generation) earbuds, which were launched in October 2021. The company is expected to bring significant upgrades including design changes to the purported fourth generation of Apple AirPods. Recent reports suggest that Apple will launch two versions of the AirPods (4th Generation) at two different price points. Analyst Mark Gurman explains why the firm is likely to attempt a complete overhaul of its current TWS earbuds offering range. In his latest weekly newsletter, Power On, Gurman explains that Apple is in a bit of a pickle with its range of AirPods. There is very little difference, save the design, between the AirPods (2nd Generation) which are priced at Rs. 12,900, and AirPods (3rd Generation), which start at Rs. 19,900. Customers, therefore, more often than not opt for the cheaper option, costing the company money. Gurman notes that Apple plans to mitigate this issue by launching two new fourth-generation non-Pro AirPods models. The earbuds are expected to …
