Apple is bringing Sleep Apnea detection to the most recent generations of its Watch, the company announced today. The iPhone maker's latest keynote revealed the feature would be coming to the new Series 10, as well as the Series 9 and Ultra 2. If you wear your watch while you sleep, you'll be able to get an alert in the morning if the symptoms are detected, urging you to visit your clinician. The data for this will, like all of the vital statistics collated by the Watch, be held in a special section of the Health App.
The feature has been rumored for a while, although some scuttlebutt suggested it wasn't quite ready for prime time. Apple needed to get a move on, however, as Samsung already has FDA approval for a similar feature on the Galaxy Watch. Sleep apnea tracking will reportedly come to 150 countries later this month, alongside the debut of the Series 10 itself.
