If there’s something the Apple Watch has been criticized for years, it’s its poor battery life. This is complaint #1. A day of intensive use and you will have devoured all the battery. The Apple Watch Series 8 had a battery life of only two days of use, according to the scenario. At least it has improved its efficiency over the previous model, in addition to adding an OLED LTPO display capable of reaching a peak of 1000 nits of brightness.
Laughable durations compared to the standard two weeks in many Garmin smartwatches or even from manufacturers such as Xiaomi, capable of reaching up to a month of use if the screen is not always used. alight. Apple argues it’s the cost of more continuous, effective and truthful monitoring. However, it seems that the future looks very bright: Apple is working hard to make the next Apple Watch more autonomous.
a matter of balance
The statement comes from Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of worldwide product marketing. In a recent interview for India Today, he indicated that increasing the autonomy is possible, but it involves a cost in the collection of biometric data. What the company is looking for is a balance between features and battery life:
Some products in the company’s line still require additional efficiencies. One of them is the Apple Watch, which is a great health tracker, but will also benefit from longer battery life. The company also continues to explore the best way to balance functionality (real-time health and body tracking for features like heart rate alerts or fall detection) and battery life.
As India Today points out, although this is a line of research from Apple, another of the bets is fast charging, which makes it much easier to get the Apple Watch ready in a jiffy. “With fast charging, you can get 80% of your battery capacity in 45-45 minutesBorchers adds. With that in mind, it’s possible the next Apple Watch could hit that 100% charge in even less time.
And let’s not forget that the Apple Watch Ultra can go up to 60 hours. Either way, fully charging a battery in an hour is awesome. But even better would be not to have to search for the charging adapter for a whole week. I hope this dream will come true one day.
