Apple is expected to announce the next device in its Apple Watch <\/a><\/strong>lineup in September, but the rumored body temperature sensor may not work at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Watch 8 has long been thought to include a way to monitor the temperature of the wearer’s skin. The tool will offer many benefits, including being able to better track sleep cycles, possibly indicating if you have a fever, and even detecting if you are ovulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a new report from MacRumors suggests that fever detection may not be ready when the Apple Watch 8 launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be a huge shame if that turned out to be the case. Sleep monitoring and home tracking tools are great, but in our more health-conscious world, the possibility of spotting signs of an underlying fever would be a game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If my Apple Watch<\/a><\/strong> thinks I might have a fever, I’ll make an informed decision about whether I should go out or step back and avoid passing on the wrong thing, whether it’s Covid or something else that could make my friends and family sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disappointment follows similar news that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 has a new infrared temperature sensor that hasn’t been used properly. Like the rumored Apple Watch 8 sensor, the Galaxy Watch 5 will use skin temperature monitoring to more accurately track the wearer’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Samsung has talked about the feature several times ahead of the Galaxy Watch 5’s launch, it’s not yet enabled — but if so, it’s coming “in the near future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Apple, it’s unclear if the fever detection tool could be added to the Watch 8 via a post-release firmware update, or if it’s a hardware issue that won’t change until the inevitable launch of the Apple Watch 9. We’ll have to wait and see what Apple announces in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
