Apple wants to reinforce the domain of Apple Watch in health issues: in 2026 it will come with 8 ring sensors

While we wait for the Watch, it is 3 with more striking colors, Apple would be preparing one of the most important changes in its main line of smart watches. According to a supply chain report in Taiwan, the Apple Watch Series 12 It could incorporate a redesign in 2026 in order to include a system of eight sensors distributed in the form of a ring under the lower glass of the device.

A jump in the accuracy of health monitoring

Although there is talk of a redesign, this would be appreciated in the circular disposition of the sensorswhich would double the number of components with respect to current models. This configuration could improve the accuracy of health measurements, depending less on software interpretation and more on the direct reading of the sensors.

This change makes quite sense, because Apple has been seeking to balance advanced health functions with better energy efficiency. The idea of ​​the company is to address the Achilles heel of this device, extending the autonomy of the clock without sacrificing precision in the biometric monitoring.

But before … Apple Watch Series 11 with few improvements

Before the arrival of these changes, Apple prepares to launch in September the Apple Watch Series 11 and a new version of Apple Watch Ultra, along with the update of Watchos 26. These models would introduce additional health functions, including a possible blood pressure measurement system. However, non -invasive blood glucose monitoring would still be far from completing, due to technical and regulatory limitations.

For now, rumors only point to the back of the future Apple Watch. It is unknown if Apple will take advantage of the redesign to also modify the general aesthetics of the device. It must be remembered that the appearance of this device has barely varied since its launch, not even on its tenth anniversary.
