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 Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) 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.
週一，蘋果公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL）在 「Glowtime」 活動中推出了其蘋果手錶系列10、iPhone 16系列等。一位頂級分析師現在強調了新款Apple Watch中的一個重大遺漏。
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.
發生了什麼：彭博社專欄作家馬克·古爾曼在X（前身爲Twitter）上指出，如果Apple Watch Series 6或更高版本的用戶升級到新的Apple Watch，他們將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 Corporation, a medical technology firm.
在蘋果找到解決方案或與醫療技術公司Masimo Corporation達成協議之前，新手錶將不提供血氧監測。
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，美國國際貿易委員會（ITC）裁定，某些Apple Watch機型侵犯了Masimo的專利脈衝血氧飽和度技術。
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，國際貿易委員會禁止在美國進口和銷售從Series 6到Series 9和Ultra 2的蘋果手錶。
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.

這已經不爲人所知，但是如果你有一臺帶血氧監測功能的Apple Watch Series 6或更新版本併購買了新的Apple Watch，那麼在蘋果想出解決方法或與Masimo達成和解之前，你將失去許多人所依賴的關鍵功能。

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，古爾曼還分享了他對Apple Watch Series 10屏幕尺寸和電池壽命的看法，並將其與Apple Watch Ultra進行了比較。
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.
他最初偏愛Series 10，但後來改變了主意，認爲Ultra 2的雙倍電池續航時間和操作按鈕是顯著的優點。
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.

如果包括蜂窩和鈦合金，Ultra的價格比更大的Series 10高出50美元，而不是紙上看起來的400美元。再多花50美元值得嗎？對於雙電池，我想大多數人會說 「是」。S10 和 S9 芯片基本相同。屏幕尺寸也基本相同。

Why It Matters: Apart from the Apple Watch Series 10, Cupertino also introduced a new color for its Ultra Watch. The new Apple Watch Ultra 2 is built for high durability and performance, equipped with a tough titanium case and a scratch-resistant sapphire front crystal.
