Juli Clover for MacRumors:

Prior to the release of the ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌, multiple rumors suggested Apple was working on a refreshed design with flat edges similar to the flat edges of the iPhone 13 and iPad Pro, but that didn’t end up happening.

Given the number of rumors that confirmed Apple was planning such a design, it could still be happening, but for the Series 8 rather than the Series 7.

According to The Wall Street Journal and other sources, Apple is developing several new health features for future Apple Watch models…

• Blood Glucose Monitoring
• Blood Pressure Measurements
• Temperature Sensor
• Sleep Apnea Detection

  1. These are rumors, so don’t automatically think AppleWatch is going to have blood glucose monitoring. I would say that it’s just wishful thinking. Many people will be hugely disappointed if BGM is being talked about now and then doesn’t appear on the Series 8.

  2. Blood Glucose Monitoring would be huge for health! even if your not diabetic or pre diabetic, knowing your glucose level is beneficial for health and great for dieting and intermittent fasting ect. Apple will sale hundreds go million watches world wide if that feature is added, heck dont call it a watch call it a health band (or something more catchy) with a watch feature
