However, its not entirely clear if the new watches will be launched as anniversary models, the report read.

What are the new features the new Apple watches may get?

While Apple has been developing health tools for its watches, such as those which can detect high blood pressure and sleep apnea, reliability issues were visible while testing, which may postpone their release even beyond this year.

What are the challenges with the features for Apple watches?

Even if the blood pressure feature does launch, it cannot yet be a replacement for the blood-pressure cuff, Bloomberg wrote, reasoning that it will only monitor if the blood pressure is relatively high by figuring out the baseline.

The sleep anea feature is facing even bigger challenges, especially because of Apple’s ongoing legal disputes with Masimo Corp.

Apple has also been working on a glucose monitoring feature for a decade, and has hit major milestones in that, the report read.

Apple is also looking at 3D-printing the chassis for some Apple Watch models, which could speed up production and also be environmentally friendly by using less material.
