Health: Apple cancels the functionality of the watch

May 22, 2020

The Apple Watch should be great, say Apple Boss, for example Tim Cook and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. We will only find out whether this is really true in April – because then the smartwatch should come onto the market. Or at least be presented.

According to current media reports, Apple still seems to be working at full speed on the watch. There are also a few hurdles to be overcome – or not, because, as the Wall Street Journal writes, the manufacturer is cutting the functionality of its smartwatch at short notice. So there are still problems, especially with the sensors.

The original idea was to equip the Apple Watch with a bunch of different sensors. It should be able to measure blood pressure, heart activity and stress, as well as, for example, the oxygen content in the blood. Some of this should now be eliminated: The sensors work too imprecisely. For example, a sensor for measuring skin resistance would have had problems with the different arm hairs of the Review subjects.
