As usual from Apple's annual WWDC event, a slew of new operating system features were announced and if you're here to check out the upcoming watchOS 8 preview, you've come to the right place. It won't take long so just sit back, relax and check out what you can expect to have on your Apple Watch Series. 

Back in November 2020, it was rumoured that Apple would give its next smartwatch a redesign. It seems that the rumour could be accurate, as there's a new leak that has revealed the Watch Series 7. Let's take a look at what's changed.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that a report hinted that this year’s Apple Watch Series 7 could potentially come equipped with blood sugar, as well as alcohol monitoring sensors. With that being said, looks like there won’t be a need to prick your finger with a needle in order to check your blood sugar level or blow into a breathalyzer to check alcohol levels.

After seeing the news of someone developing sensors to detect the COVID-19 virus, we have a new one today saying that Apple is researching to find out if the Apple Watch could notice someone has contracted the virus. Comparing these two methods, it is no doubt that the one using a sensor is more advanced and will not have to wait until a person is sick. As the sensor will not be available at the moment, it is still nice to know that the current tech product can provide help to users during the pandemic.

In recent months, we've seen patents for an Apple Watch with an under-display camera, as well as one with a flexible display. But sources believe that the company isn't just going to make one model this year. It's rumoured that the company is also considering launching a new model within the next year or so.

Apple has been working on different new technologies to improve the Apple Watch. Last year, we saw patents for a watch band with embedded batteries and an under-display camera. Now, there's also a new one describing a flexible display.

Smartwatches are typically more or less the same thing - they help monitor your health data and it's something that sports enthusiasts appreciate for the workouts. But when it comes to messaging, the function itself is quite limited and Facebook may change that. In fact, it was reported that they are developing a smartwatch of their own.

When it comes to the development of prototype products, there will definitely be a lot of security to ensure that things don't get leaked out. Well, at least not before it's ready to be leaked. Apple has a pretty interesting take on security though, which was recently revealed.

The devices around keep getting more sophisticated, so it's not surprising that someday we'd see smartwatches have unexpected features. Apple has been looking to innovate on smartwatches too, but one of the company's latest idea is wilder than you'd expect.

When it comes to smartwatches, there's no doubt that the Apple Watch series is the more popular one. According to IDC, the research firm has recorded that there is a total of 11.8 million shipments as of the third quarter of 2020. Comparing with Q3 2019, it's a 75% increase.
