Apple may integrate surprising features into the next Watch Series 8 whose main function is to help the user in an emergency and even save their own life.
According to information now released, the Cupertino company can equip the smartwatch with satellite connectivity features and support for emergency text messages and SOS response.
In an emergency, please use Apple Watch Series 8
The Apple Watch Series 7 is available in Portugal from 439 euros
After knowing that the Apple Watch Series 8 will not integrate a blood pressure sensor or measure blood glucose levels, here is new information that suggests that the Cupertino company will bet on new features aimed at emergency cases .
According to the Bloomberg news agency, Apple’s next wearable will be equipped with satellite connectivity, a feature launched for the first time on the iPhone 13. This feature is especially useful and important in an emergency, as it allows you to send short messages via the satellite network, not requiring an operator’s network.
According to the same source, the new feature would work in two ways. The first, now called emergency message via contacts, allows the user to send a short text message in areas that do not receive a signal from the mobile operator’s network.
The second form is a little more complete and allows users to report an emergency situation to the responsible authorities, whether in the event of a car, boat or even plane accident.
This form is also designed to help the authorities, in the sense that it allows for more specific information, including asking the user if there is a need to activate search and rescue means.
If this information is confirmed, it can be concluded that Apple is committed to integrating in its next smartwatch resources more focused on helping in an emergency than on measuring blood glucose levels, which pose more technical challenges.
