Apple Watch to get ‘Hypertension Detection’ feature by 2025, suggests Mark Gurman
Live MintCupertino-based Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a groundbreaking hypertension detection feature for its Apple Watch, expected to debut in 2025. According to Mark Gurman’s latest newsletter for Bloomberg, the technology has been in development for years and was initially slated for release with the 2024 Apple Watch models. Instead of delivering precise systolic and diastolic readings as traditional inflatable cuffs do, the Apple Watch is expected to analyse data and alert users when their blood pressure appears to deviate from the normal range. Apple is also reportedly preparing to bring 5G connectivity to its Apple Watch lineup, according to a recent report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. This development would mark the debut of the 5G standard in Apple Watches, aligning the wearable device with the broader mobile industry’s ongoing shift to next-generation network technology, which began several years ago.
