2024 Apple Watch to Feature New Look, Blood Pressure Monitoring and Sleep Apnea Detection

 One of the Apple Watch models is set to receive a refreshed appearance, although it's unclear which one according to Gurman. It could be possible that the standard version will undergo a design overhaul. Although Apple has recently released its latest model, known as Apple Watch Ultra in 2022; rumors suggest an upgrade involving microLED display for this device may not take place before 2025 or 2026 based on current information available.

Gurman previously reported that Apple is developing a noteworthy upgrade to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch. Although it was announced in September 2014, its official release did not occur until April 2015, creating some ambiguity as to whether the "tenth anniversary" will be recognized in either 2024 or 2025. The launch of an "Apple Watch Series 10" is anticipated for next year; and considering Gurman's indication towards receiving a revamped design during this time frame, it can potentially serve as their commemorative model for this occasion.

The enhanced Apple Watch may exhibit a slimmer appearance and integrate an innovative magnetic system for band attachment. Yet, customers might find the health functions more enticing. According to Gurman's reports, the upcoming iteration of this cutting-edge wearable is poised to identify prevalent conditions like hypertension and sleep apnea experienced by countless individuals worldwide.

The wrist blood pressure monitoring is a remarkable engineering accomplishment that can identify hypertension. In November, Gurmansaid announced the Apple Watch would alert users if their blood pressure was progressively increasing so they could inform medical experts; however, it cannot deliver precise systolic and diastolic measurements at present. The upcoming technology updates may offer accurate readings in the future.

By monitoring sleep patterns and breathing, the Apple Watch can identify cases of sleep apnea. As diagnosing this condition often necessitates a night spent in a specialized facility for observation during slumber, utilizing the Apple Watch could help streamline detection processes. In certain instances where milder forms of sleep apnea may have been overlooked entirely, at-home alerts regarding its presence would consequently enable those who were previously unaware to seek medical attention; thus improving their sleeping abilities overall.

The Apple Watch undergoes an annual update, indicating that the latest version will likely launch alongside the iPhone 16 line in September of 2024.
