Apple has announced its latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, which boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor. The new model introduces sizes of 42mm and 46mm, featuring a 40% brighter wide-angle OLED display the largest ever seen on an Apple Watch. This larger screen allows users to view emails and messages more comfortably, with an additional line of text visible.
Design and Durability
The Series 10 is notably thinner and lighter, measuring just 9.7mm thick, which is 10% slimmer compared to the Series 9. It is powered by Apple’s new S10 chip, which incorporates a four-core neural engine for enhanced performance. The watch also sports a polished aluminum finish and a new metal back that integrates various antennas. Despite its sleek design, it retains its water resistance up to 50 meters and offers faster charging capabilities. The new larger coil enables the watch to reach 80% battery life in just 30 minutes.
New Health Feature: Sleep Apnea Detection
One of the standout features of the Apple Watch Series 10, pending FDA approval, is sleep apnea detection. Using the watch’s accelerometer, it monitors breathing patterns during sleep and alerts users to potential signs of sleep apnea. Users can then share these reports with their doctors for further evaluation, adding a new layer of health monitoring to the smartwatch.
