Kuo: Apple Watch Series 7 Missed Body Temperature Monitoring Due to Algorithm Problems, but Feature Could Still Come to Series 8

The Apple Watch Series 7 will not have a body temperature sensor, but the feature could come to the Apple Watch Series 8.

Apple originally intended to offer a body temperature measurement feature with the Apple Watch Series 7 models, but the company put the plans on hold when the body temperature algorithm it had developed failed to meet requirements.

The upcoming Apple Watch Series 8 could feature body temperature monitoring, according to Kuo.

Since a smartwatch cannot monitor core body temperature using hardware, Apple's body temperature measurement feature is heavily dependent on an algorithm that produces accurate results.

There are challenges with body temperature measurement that are similar to those faced bySamsung, and they may not have a body temperature monitoring feature.

Rumors about the body temperature monitoring capabilities of the Apple Watches have quietened in recent times, but they have been discussed by both Mark Gurman and Kuo before. The feature on the Apple Watch Series 8 may not be available later this year.
