Keeping iPhone 12 series for a later launch, Apple on Tuesday introduced
new Watch Series 6 with Blood Oxygen sensor in Covid times, a cheaper
Watch SE and an iPad Air with industry-first A14 bionic chip.
Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS) starts at Rs 40,900 and Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular) starts at Rs 49,900.
The cheaper version called Watch SE begins from $279 globally.
Apple also showcased iPad Air with industry-first A14 bionic chip that starts from $599 globally.
Apple
Watch Series 6 introduces a revolutionary Blood Oxygen feature that
offers users even more insight into their overall wellness.
Oxygen
saturation, or SpO2, represents the percentage of oxygen being carried
by red blood cells from the lungs to the rest of the body, and indicates
how well this oxygenated blood is being delivered throughout the body.
"With
powerful new features, including a Blood Oxygen sensor and app, Apple
Watch becomes even more indispensable by providing further insight into
overall well-being," said Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating
officer.
Apple Watch Series 6 houses a faster S6 System in
Package (SiP) and next-generation always-on altimeter, along with its
most colourful lineup yet, featuring a beautiful palette of new case
finishes and bands.
watchOS 7 brings Family Setup, sleep
tracking, automatic handwashing detection, new workout types, and the
ability to curate and share watch faces, encouraging customers to be
more active, stay connected, and better manage their health in new ways,
Apple announced.
The Blood Oxygen sensor employs four clusters
of green, red, and infrared LEDs, along with the four photodiodes on the
back crystal of Apple Watch, to measure light reflected back from
blood.
Apple Watch then uses an advanced custom algorithm built
into the Blood Oxygen app, which is designed to measure blood oxygen
between 70 percent and 100 percent.
Apple said it is joining
forces with researchers to conduct three health studies that include
using Apple Watch to explore how blood oxygen levels can be used in
future health applications.
Apple Watch Series 6 uses a new
dual-core processor based on A13 Bionic in iPhone 11, the upgraded S6
SiP runs up to 20 per cent faster, allowing apps to also launch 20
percent faster, while maintaining the same all-day 18-hour battery life.
