Apple Watch series 6 may have a blood oxygen sensor

The next Apple Watch could be the company’s first smartwatch to have a blood oxygen sensor

According to Digitimes, Apple has inked a deal with ASE Technology, a Taiwan-based supplier, to build the Series 6

Blood Oxygen monitoring estimates the amount of oxygen in your blood. It also detects what percentage of your blood is saturated, better known as SpO2 level.

Similar to the Apple Watch’s existing low heart rate notifications or electrocardiogram features, the Apple Watch Series 6 could tell the wearer if it detects abnormal blood oxygen and suggest seeking medical help.

The apple watch may be launched alongside the new iPhone 12
