Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2 Released

Apple has launched the new Apple Watch Series 10, featuring a refined design and enhanced functionalities, including improved sleep tracking capabilities and a larger display. However, a recently patented upgrade to its Fall Detection feature will not be included in this iteration. The Series 10 is positioned as a more mainstream option compared to the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 2, which has seen only minor updates but remains superior in battery life and outdoor features. Notably, the critical blood oxygen sensing feature, absent in U.S. models since January due to a patent dispute with Masimo, may return following the resignation of Masimo's CEO, potentially paving the way for a resolution. The Series 10 starts at $379, while the Ultra 2 is priced at $799, making the former more accessible for a wider audience. The ongoing developments in health monitoring features could significantly enhance the appeal of the Apple Watch lineup.
