Apple Watch may get blood glucose, temperature monitoring, but not this year

Apple might also launch an extreme sports-focused Apple Watch variant in the coming years.

The next iteration of the Apple Watch has long been anticipated by fans, thanks to several rumours hinting at its new-age features. The most hyped one is the blood glucose monitoring that the smartwatch is expected to have soon. Not this year though, new industry sources have now revealed. With this year’s Apple Watch variant, Apple will reportedly stick to design and connectivity improvements. A new Bloomberg report mentions them to be a new screen as well as updated ultra-wideband support. Likely to be called the Apple Watch Series 7, the 2021 model is speculated to feature a new screen on top with thinner bezels. The display will be relatively flat, retaining the overall screen area of the currently available Apple Watch. This might also be achieved by a new lamination technique that reduces the distance between the display and the front cover.
