At this point in August, we can say that there may be barely a month left until the opening speech from Apple is officially announced. And therefore, it is normal for leaks and rumors to become something more tangible. Just like the patent that was discovered and that describes a temperature sensor for Apple Watch
If it’s patented, it’s programmed
The patent says the sensor can be used in all sorts of wearables, but the schematics undoubtedly use an Apple Watch. The sensor works in a curious way: measure the voltage generated by the temperature difference between the end of a small probe and the opposite end. One of the ends would be on the watch, while the other would be in contact with our skin.
The document specifies that the sensor is “high precision”, and therefore would be able to tell the difference between very small temperature variations. Something crucial if what we want to detect is whether a person has a fever or not. Manzana he’s been working on it for a long timebecause although the patent has been approved now, it was documented two years ago.
We can never guarantee anything until we see it officially in a patent, but it came to light a few weeks after a opening speech makes it more likely that this sensor is in the Apple Watch Series 8. Luckily, we have little wait to see if we’re right or wrong.
