Apple Watch Upgrade A Downgrade? Top Analyst Says Many Missed This Crucial Information During 'Glowtime' Event
Apple Watch Upgrade A Downgrade? Top Analyst Says Many Missed This Crucial Information During 'Glowtime' Event
On Monday, $Apple (AAPL.US)$ unveiled its Apple Watch Series 10, iPhone 16 series, and more at the "Glowtime" event. A top analyst has now highlighted a significant omission in the new Apple Watch.
星期一, $苹果 (AAPL.US)$ 在 “Glowtime” 活动中推出了其苹果手表系列10、iPhone 16系列等。一位顶级分析师现在强调了新款Apple Watch中的一个重大遗漏。
What Happened: Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman took to X, formerly Twitter, and pointed out that users of Apple Watch Series 6 or newer will lose a vital health feature if they upgrade to the new Apple Watch.
发生了什么:彭博社专栏作家马克·古尔曼在X(前身为Twitter)上指出,如果Apple Watch Series 6或更高版本的用户升级到新的Apple Watch,他们将失去重要的健康功能。
The Blood Oxygen monitoring will remain absent from new watches until Apple either finds a solution or reaches an agreement with $Masimo (MASI.US)$, a medical technology firm.
在苹果找到解决方案或与之达成协议之前,新手表将不提供血氧监测 $麦斯莫医疗 (MASI.US)$,一家医疗技术公司。
Last year, the U.S. International Trade Commission or ITC ruled that certain Apple Watch models had infringed on Masimo's patented pulse oximetry technology.
去年,美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)裁定,某些Apple Watch机型侵犯了Masimo的专利脉冲血氧饱和度技术。
As a result, the ITC prohibited the import and sale of Apple Watches from Series 6 to Series 9 and the Ultra 2 in the U.S.
因此,国际贸易委员会禁止在美国进口和销售从Series 6到Series 9和Ultra 2的苹果手表。
This has gone under the radar, but if you have an Apple Watch Series 6 or newer with Blood Oxygen monitoring and you buy a new Apple Watch, you're going to lose that very key feature a lot of people rely on until Apple figures out a workaround or settles with Masimo.

这已经不为人所知,但是如果你有一台带血氧监测功能的Apple Watch Series 6或更新版本并购买了新的Apple Watch,那么在苹果想出解决方法或与Masimo达成和解之前,你将失去许多人所依赖的关键功能。

Separately, Gurman also shared his thoughts on the Apple Watch Series 10 screen size and battery life, comparing it with the Apple Watch Ultra.
另外,古尔曼还分享了他对Apple Watch Series 10屏幕尺寸和电池寿命的看法,并将其与Apple Watch Ultra进行了比较。
He initially favored the Series 10 but later changed his mind, citing the Ultra 2's double battery life and action button as significant benefits.
他最初偏爱Series 10,但后来改变了主意,认为Ultra 2的双倍电池续航时间和操作按钮是显著的优点。
If you include cellular and titanium, the Ultra is $50 more than the bigger Series 10, not the $400 it would seem on paper. Is $50 more worth it? For double battery I think most would say yes. S10 and S9 chips are basically the same. Screen sizes are also basically the same.

如果包括蜂窝和钛合金,Ultra的价格比更大的Series 10高出50美元,而不是纸上看起来的400美元。再多花50美元值得吗?对于双电池,我想大多数人会说 “是”。S10 和 S9 芯片基本相同。屏幕尺寸也基本相同。
