Apple Watch 8 Series is set to launch with a body temperature monitor that would be able to tell if a user is running a fever. The Apple Watch Series 8 will not give users an exact reading of the body temperature, but it would be able to detect a spike in body temperature, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

The purported body temperature sensor in the Apple Watch Series 8 is yet to pass internal testing; Apple is also likely to feature the body temperature monitor in the rumoured “rugged” smartwatch but will give a miss to the feature in the next Apple Watch SE. Rumours of the Apple bringing a body temperature sensor in the Apple Watch series started floating last year in June only to be backtracked later.
