Apple Watch it was disassembled during this night by the people from iFixIt who inside the product also discovered a component with a new functionality that was not mentioned anywhere by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, having the ability to measure the level of oxygen in the blood, a function that was rumored for implementation in the past, but which in the end did not make it to the watch due to implementation difficulties.
Apple Watch it has a sensor for monitoring the heartbeat, but this component is also able to function as an oximeter, that is, through it the oxygenation level of the blood can be calculated, the information being extremely important for certain iDevice owners, but unfortunately in at the moment the native applications of the watch cannot retrieve this type of data.
Apple's heart rate monitor is actually a plethysmograph—it looks and acts like a pulse oximeter, but Apple isn't claiming it can measure your blood oxygen level. Why? Beat us.
No one knows for sure why Apple chose not to implement this feature in its watch, but it is speculated that either it failed to get the necessary accuracy from this sensor and we will have to wait until a second version of the watch is released on the market, or the American authorities did not allow its implementation and keeping the current recording of the watch's functionality, in which case the situation is much more complicated.
In conclusion, Apple is preparing many interesting things in the future.
