Apple’s New Water‑Wary Watch Plan
Patent Talk
Apple just got a patent from the US Patent Office that could change how we keep tabs on hydration.
- It’s all in the band: The sensor slides into the watch strap so it can sniff the sweat while you’re working out.
- Electrolyte detective work: A high electrolyte read means you’re losing water faster than a thirsty camel. A low read signals you’re staying more fluid‑friendly.
- Instant feedback: Your wrist does the shouting, “Hey! You need a splash!” while you’re mid‑run.
Beyond the Bottle
A rumor sheet says Apple’s ambitiously sipping on more than just sweat.
- Blood‑beat buzz: The company is reportedly eyeing a future where the watch learns key blood markers—think heart rate, glucose, you name it.
- Collab with Rockley Photonics: A May claim by the Telegraph says Apple is partnering with a startup that nabs biophysical biomarkers using fancy optical tech, all without poking the skin.
What’s Next for the Watch?
Will Apple pour that behind‑the‑screen tech into its next watch? If the patents sticks, expect a whole new level of hydration “glasses” on the wrist.
