News & Reviews:   Apple Watch Series 6

In a surprise move, a US Judge has found that Apple infringed on Masimo oxymeter patents for their Apple Watch smartwatch. While the case is still proceeding, the end result could have the Apple Watch Series 6 and above banned in their own home country.

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.

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.

Some people may still think of smartwatches as fancy devices that gadget enthusiasts sink money into. But occasionally we hear of news that validate their usefulness. In the latest piece, an Apple Watch user was able to discover the existence of a heart condition.

Apple have launched two smartwatches at the same time which are the Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE. So what are the differences between these two smartwatches? The starting price of the Apple Watch Series 6 is RM1799 and the Apple Watch SE is RM1199.

Last month, Apple have launched the Watch Series 6 and Watch SE in Malaysia. The company also launched two new straps which are Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop. Both of the straps are made from silicon and you have to measure your wrist to get a suitable size.

As previously reported, authorized Apple resellers in Malaysia have put up the pre-orders for the Apple Watch Series 6 and Watch SE two days ago. The pre-order was reported to start today and true enough, the Apple Malaysia website has officiated the sale and they are both available from RM1749 and RM1199 respectively. 

It's almost close to a month since Apple unveiled the new Apple Watch Series 6 and Watch SE globally. We already know the price tag (RM1749 and RM1199 respectively), but they didn't disclose the pre-order nor availability date yet until today. Well, kind of, as it was revealed on the Apple Store in Lazada instead of the Apple Malaysia website.

Apple recently unveiled the Apple Watch Series 6, as well as the Watch SE, at the price of RM1749 and RM1199 respectively. Unfortunately, there is no official news on the Malaysia release date for now, so you might want to check with us on that.

In case you didn't know, Apple have officially announced their next Apple Event on 15 September 2020 at 10AM (PDT).
