That’s it.

This is a complaint made by many friends around me after staying up late to watch the WWDC Developer Conference. The update rate is not too big, the new iPadOS has not liberated the productivity of the M1 chip version of the iPad Pro, and the attractiveness of changing the phone is low.

In the Apple product lineup, there is another product that is similar to the iPad Pro, and that is the Apple Watch. Since Apple Watch 4, the subsequent generations of products have not been updated much.

What’s more, the lower price of Apple Watch SE is not too far from the Apple Watch 6 in terms of core functional experience, which makes it more or less embarrassing to have a higher positioning and price, and Apple Watch users will inevitably have less willingness to change. some.

If you want to change this status quo, you must make drastic updates and adjustments to the product. Judging from the current exposure information of Bloomberg and other media, the changes in the next-generation Apple Watch have begun to take shape.

With narrower screen borders and better performance, Apple Watch 7 has changed?

The first is the change in appearance. According to a report by the well-known whistleblower Jon Prosser, Apple will use a similar design to the iPhone 12 on the Apple Watch 7, that is, it will adopt more right-angled edge designs.

Earlier, Apple analysts also said that Apple may update the appearance design of Apple Watch in 2021. The two predictions for Apple products are more than 70% accurate, and there is still a certain degree of credibility..

The shape is the most intuitive difference that people feel, and it is also one of the important ways to distinguish between the new and the old. Its boosting effect on sales has been verified by products such as iPhone 12, which may be one of the reasons why Apple changed its design.

In addition, Bloomberg, which also has a high rate of prediction accuracy, recently released a report on the next-generation Apple Watch. It stated that the Apple Watch released this year will cause major changes in both the appearance and the inside.

In terms of screen, the next generation of Apple Watch will adopt a narrower screen frame, which means that the screen size may increase. The previous 4th generation has also reduced the screen frame as a major change.

At the same time, Apple may use new screen technology to reduce the gap between the display and the glass cover, but the watch will be thicker overall.

Next is the heavyweight, Bloomberg said that Apple Watch 7 will use a faster chip.

At present, the S6 chip used in the sixth generation is based on the two small cores of the A13. The A13 is manufactured based on the 7nm process. Now Apple has used 5nm for both the M1 chip on the Mac and the latest A14 chip process. , The next-generation S7 chip, the same 5nm process seems to be the natural choice.

More advanced craftsmanship can often improve performance, reduce energy consumption, and reduce battery life pressure. The new Mac equipped with the M1 chip is the best case.

Of course, whether the battery life can be improved depends on the implementation of Apple’s product planning, and an increased screen often means an increase in energy consumption. It is not easy to say whether the battery life will increase or decrease under one increase and one decrease.

Battery life is now one of the biggest experience pain points of Apple Watch. It is really troublesome to charge a day as a portable device, and functions like sleep monitoring conflict with people’s habit of charging at night.

Another change is the feature update of Ultra Wideband Technology (UWB). As early as Apple Watch 6, Apple installed the U1 chip, but there have been few applications for related functions.

According to the characteristics of UWB technology near field communication, the new update is likely to interact with more smart devices. There are also related functions in the new system watchOS 8. Apple Watch will become a smart home butler, not only can manage smart home devices, but also similar Remind to lock the door, automatically turn on the lights and other functions.

Finally, there are changes in health functions. Although functions such as blood oxygen detection and electrocardiogram have become one of the core differences between the highest-positioned Apple Watch 6 and other models, the changes in this aspect of the next-generation Apple Watch are still unclear.

Bloomberg said that the temperature test at this year’s meeting may have to wait until next year. As for the non-invasive blood oxygen test that can measure blood glucose levels without blood sampling, it takes longer for commercial use. For diabetic patients, blood glucose testing at any time is important for the condition. It is very meaningful for monitoring.

The next-generation Apple Watch SE and outdoor version will also be released next year.

The popularity of Apple Watch

Today’s Apple Watch has already proven its value. Market data is the best proof. According to data research institutions Counterpoint ResearchAccording to the report, global smartwatch shipments in the first quarter of 2021 increased by 35% year-on-year, and Apple Watch accounted for nearly one-third of the market.

It is foreseeable that manufacturers, including Apple, will still promote the popularization of smart watches, but this cannot be solved quickly by polishing products alone.

As a product that focuses on the sports and health market, the barriers to use and learning of smart watches are much higher than those of mobile phones. I once asked a friend who has been using Apple Watch to assist in fitness for many years. I can’t help but sigh while opening up a new world. The matter of exercise depends not only on personal wishes, but also on the use of tools.

According to a friend’s introduction, Apple Watch can detect a number of data during exercise, and more importantly, use the data to determine whether your exercise is correct, and in which areas need to be improved.

Taking swimming as an example, in addition to common calories, Apple Watch will also give out heart rate, speed, distance and other data, which mainly use speed and heart rate to judge whether the swimming style is correct and whether swimming is effective in reducing fat.

Many people do not feel too strenuous when learning breaststroke, and at this time his posture is often inclined in the water, the posture is not considered standard, corresponding to the exercise data is slow speed and low heart rate.

When I asked my friend how to use the exercise data tracked by Apple Watch to adjust swimming style, she said:

After learning breaststroke, I swam in a lap, and my heart rate was as high as 160, but the speed reached 5 minutes per 100 meters. That means my posture is wrong and swimming is not efficient. At this point, what I have to do is adjust my breath to lower my heart rate, and then pay attention to the next lap of swimming stretching and breathing frequency.

Speaking of this, you probably already understand that it is necessary to learn to use exercise data to judge exercise status and improve exercise ability. This is also related to personal exercise experience. As an exercise aid, Apple Watch must lower the threshold for popularization.

It is not that Apple has worked hard for this. Social functions are one of them. Users can share exercise data with friends and family through iMessage and other functions, while functions like “7-day competition” support mutual PK between users through reminders and notifications. Encourage both parties to complete the corresponding exercise.

This is also one of the answers many users argue about why they choose Apple Watch instead of professional sports watches. In addition to being a sports measurement tool, smart watches can also promote people to better establish healthy exercise habits through social services.

At the same time, you can judge your physical ability through exercise data. Taking running as an example, the heart rate of professional runners is different from that of ordinary people. Although everyone is within the normal heart rate range, professional runners have stronger cardiorespiratory capabilities and are calmer. The resting heart rate in the state is also lower (usually around 50 beats per minute).

Of course, sports social interaction is more limited to communication in a circle, and the threshold for direct tutorials is lower. In this regard, brands such as Huawei and OPPO are obviously doing better in China. They directly have supporting related tutorial services and provide a variety of Sports mode.

The fitness sports subscription service launched by Apple has not been launched in China, and whether the tutorials match the physical fitness of the Chinese is also a question mark.

▲ Fitness+ supports follow-up training.

This part of the lack can only be filled by keep and sports content on social media, which is also one of the values ​​of their existence.

The future of smart watches

Let more people know about smart watches through sports-related content services, which is more like a horizontal product popularization, and the vertical exploration of the smart watch category is to add more categories of health data monitoring.

Related functions are not only being explored by Apple, but also by manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi.

In addition to the non-invasive blood glucose testing mentioned above, as well as blood pressure, food intake records, etc., richer health data monitoring can not only let people understand the state of the body, but also can be used as a guide for healthy living, such as a sudden spike in blood sugar level. Food intake records can be traced back to whether it is caused by food in order to adjust the recipe.

These data can also be used as an early warning reminder of some diseases, whether you should go to the hospital for an in-depth examination.

Of course, more in-depth health data is very likely to require related approvals. For example, the ECG electrocardiogram function on the Apple Watch, in addition to the FDA certification in the United States, still needs approval in the world.

With the certification of professional institutions, the accuracy of its data can also be recognized to a certain extent.

In an era when personal data is increasingly valued, the privacy issues of smart watches also need to be taken seriously, especially in the future where health status can be judged through data, smart watches, like mobile phones, are products that people use personally, which is caused by data leaks. The problem is also serious. There were earlier cases where health data was used as the basis for insurance service recommendations.

In the movie “Transcendental Hacker”, there is also a plot of excessive abuse of health data. The protagonist played by John Nedpp can understand the heroine’s emotions without being around by detecting the heroine’s physical data.

Tracking a partner privately without permission is undoubtedly an invasion of personal privacy, and it is also easy to have a bad influence on the relationship between the partners.

On the other hand, when health data becomes more and more abundant, will it alienate our lives like the Internet? Earlier, some people paid too much attention to quantitative food calorie data when losing weight, and found that there are fewer and fewer foods that can be eaten. It has caused greater psychological anxiety and even psychological problems.

Smart watches led by Apple Watch have improved people’s sports and even health experience with more accurate data, and at the same time made quantitative life a part of people’s lifestyle.

However, various news in recent years have told us that technology or tools have never been more than one side. How to make good use of tools instead of being negatively affected by tools is a problem that companies such as Apple and even ordinary users need to think about.

That’s it.

That’s it.

This is a complaint made by many friends around me after staying up late to watch the WWDC Developer Conference. The update rate is not too big, the new iPadOS has not liberated the productivity of the M1 chip version of the iPad Pro, and the attractiveness of changing the phone is low.

Smartwatch is part of Facebook’s plan to compete with Apple and Google in the hardware market. The device also creates an opportunity for Facebook to confront Apple in the context of the not-so-good relationship between the two companies. Facebook is said to be developing the first smartwatch model. Illustration: The Verge. The conflict between Facebook and Apple stems from the privacy monitoring feature on iOS 14.5. While Apple takes a strong stance on privacy, requiring companies like Facebook to consult before tracking users, the social network argues that it affects advertising revenue, which is “chicken”. lay golden eggs” for the company. The smartwatch development information comes after Facebook faced many privacy-related scandals. According to the The Verge , they could make it difficult for Facebook to convince users to buy this smartwatch, especially when the product is also focused on health monitoring and heart rate monitoring. Many fear that information about health and heart rate could help Facebook better know each user, after the company’s services have collected too much data. An unnamed source said Facebook is also approaching companies that make accessories, helping to attach cameras to many items such as backpacks. Facebook may also work with some carriers in the US to integrate LTE connectivity, allowing the smartwatch to work independently without needing to be connected to a smartphone. Privacy is a concern on Facebook’s smartwatch. Photo: The Tech Lap. Facebook is said to launch the first smartwatch model in the summer of 2022 for $ 400, equivalent to Apple Watch Series 6. Expected sales for the device are several hundred thousand, lower than the 34 million Apple Watch units sold. sold out last year, according to Counterpoint Research . This is not the first time Facebook has launched a hardware product. In 2013, Facebook’s Android smartphone in cooperation with HTC failed miserably, while sales of the Oculus virtual reality headset and Portal smart display were not disclosed. However, a Facebook official said that sales of the Oculus Quest 2 are higher than all of the previous Oculus VR headsets combined. In 2019, Facebook considered buying Fitbit wearables before Google successfully negotiated. Facebook spent about $1 billion, devoting hundreds of employees to developing its first smartwatch. However, even with the camera and unique features, it is unlikely that this company’s device will be as well received as the Apple Watch. ‘I don’t want to be tracked by Facebook’ The iOS 14.5 update allows users to block Facebook from tracking their data. Therefore, advertising on this platform gradually becomes less effective.

“After updating yesterday, my device only has 2% battery left, the case is 15%. Normally after 15 hours of not plugging in the charger, the battery in the phone is still 100%, the charging case can be low. 20%”, this user said the maximum battery capacity currently in the setting is still 100% after more than a year of use, will have to measure again. Many iPhone users report battery drain after updating to iOS 14.6. Illustration: 9to5mac. “I had the same problem on my iPhone 11. After updating to iOS 14.6, I woke up every morning and always found my iPhone drained. Yesterday, I turned off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth on my device, closed all apps and nothing The phone is fully charged at 6 pm, and the battery is exhausted at 10 am this morning even when not in use”, member userid42 reflect. On the forum MacRumors , member BR4DOKYBrazil said that not only does the battery drain faster, this person’s iPhone 12 Pro also heats up when browsing the web with Safari. Another member also reported the same situation on iPhone 12 mini after updating to iOS 14.6. “I made the mistake of not checking the Internet feedback about battery life before updating to the new iOS,” this member shared. iOS 14.6 was released about a month after iOS 14.5. On iOS 14.5, Apple has added a battery capacity re-measurement feature to the iPhone 11 series, helping the device measure the maximum battery capacity more accurately, overcoming unwanted battery drain. In some cases, re-measured results even allow a free battery replacement. Short-term battery drain after updating iOS is normal because the device needs to update Spotlight searches and clean up the system. However, iPhone users with iOS 14.6 are still constantly reporting battery drain even though this version has been released for more than a week. Currently, Apple has not yet responded to the battery drain on iOS 14.6. The company is testing iOS 14.7 with some improvements, but may release iOS 14.6.1 if it finds the cause of the battery drain and needs to be fixed soon. Users can restore factory settings to check if the device is still draining the battery. Why does Apple name Apple Watch instead of iWatch? Apple has many products such as iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad. However, when it came to smartwatches, they broke the rules and named this product line Apple Watch.

Meizu confidently calls their new product the Standard for Android Smartwatches. However, right from the looks, many people will probably comment that the Meizu Watch looks a lot like the Apple Watch with a square face, a 4-sided curved screen, the only difference is that it does not have a Digital Crown but instead has a physical key. usually, common, normal. Meizu Watch has a body made of 6 series aluminum alloy with a ceramic base, measuring 46 x 38.4 mm and a thickness of 12.97 mm. Strap made from fluoro rubber, weighs 69 grams. The screen is AMOLED panel, 1.78 inches, protected by 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass, 368 x 448 pixels resolution, 326ppi pixel density, 500 nits brightness. Meizu Watch owns a 420 mAh battery, promising up to 36 hours of use on a single charge. In addition, this product also supports fast charging technology with only 15 minutes of charging for up to a day of battery life via the USB-C charging dock. Its power is also very good thanks to the Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip, with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage memory. Meizu Watch supports Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC for payments through the Meizu Pay service. The product supports the default LTE network via eSIM. Meizu Watch can track sports activities such as indoor/outdoor running, walking, indoor/outdoor cycling, table tennis, badminton, bowling, rowing machine, climbing, jumping rope, and supports Support monitoring blood oxygen levels, heart rate, sleep, breathing and reminders when users are sedentary. Regarding the price, Meizu Watch will be on sale on June 1 for $ 235, equivalent to VND 5.4 million with 2 colors Moyan and Azure. This price is in the mid-range segment, cheaper than products from Samsung, Huawei and Apple. According to Gizmochina

Apple will launch new AirPods Pro 2 in 2022 The images and reports suggest that the upcoming AirPods Pro will remove the body completely for a more compact design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Plus, or Google’s Pixel Buds. For the new AirPods, Apple is planning to cut the body short to have a design similar to its high-end models. Apple has tested this design but it is not certain that it will appear in the final model of the new AirPods. The configuration of AirPods Pro also does not clearly show whether it supports ANC active noise cancellation, but it is most likely still equipped like other high-end headset models. In addition to the new AirPods Pro, users can wait later this year to own a new pair of AirPods Max, which are Apple’s over-ear headphones with great build quality and sound. What’s more, Apple is developing other devices like the HomePod with a screen, as well as a separate Apple TV-like device that could include a speaker and camera for video calls.

However, recently the company has suddenly revealed new features, which are likely to appear in the next update – iOS 15. The first iOS 15 beta is expected to be introduced at WWDC 2021 in the coming weeks. Apple says the new features in iOS 15 are designed to help people with disabilities (with mobility problems, low vision, hearing and cognitive impairments) can use the device. more comfortable. (Image: MacRumors) Apple is also supporting third-party eye tracking devices, allowing users to control the tablet with their eyes. The new features will be available to both iPhone and iPad users. VoiceOver, Apple’s screen reader will also be upgraded on the new iOS. This tool will help provide more information about the image on the screen, including people, text, data… it can even describe the position of a person or object in the image. (Photo: NewsBytes) Apple has also added a couple of two-way hearing aids to its support list. With the watchOS platform, the AssistiveTouch feature will allow Apple Watch users to easily control the device without having to touch it. Thanks to built-in motion sensors, optical heart rate sensors, and machine learning, Apple Watch can detect movements, allowing you to navigate with hand gestures. (Illustration image: Internet) “With these new features, we look forward to bringing joy and improving lives to many,” said Sarah Herrlinger, Apple’s senior director of Global Access Policy and Initiatives. BGR says Apple doesn’t actually mention iOS 15 or iPadOS 15, but says that all the new features will be available “later this year”. It is expected that the official iOS 15 update will be released with the iPhone 13 in September.

However, to be able to use this feature, your iPhone needs to be connected to a WiFi or mobile data network, so if your device does not have a network, “open”. But that was before, since iOS 14 Apple has released a new feature update that can help you find your iPhone even when offline. First, go to Settings => select iCloud account at the top => Find => Find iPhone => turn on the Find Network feature Enabling the Find My Network feature allows you to locate this iPhone even when it’s offline. As long as there are other iPhones around the lost iPhone, it will send you the location through the connection. And the note of this feature is that the machine needs to be turned on, not powered off. And if your device is powered off, “oh no”, but because iPhone can be accessed from the lock screen to turn off WiFi and mobile data, you will still have more chances to find your beloved iPhone. .

The iPhone can be located even when the network is disconnected because iOS 14 has updated the Find My network feature along with the Send Last Location feature, from there. helps to save the last location of the iPhone before Wi-Fi (or mobile data) turned off and connect with other iPhone devices (running iOS 14 together) to find the exact location. Here’s how to find the lost iPhone even when the network is disconnected: – Go to the item Setting (Settings), click on your Apple ID account name at the top. -Click on the item Find (Find My). Select item Find iPhone (Find my iPhone) – Turn on the feature Network Find (Find My network) by sliding the slider to the right and turn on the feature Send last location (Send Last Location) and features Find iPhone . If you have an iPad or iPod Touch, just do the same. Minh Hoa (th)

AirTag has been long awaited by Apple ecosystem users. Many people have been expecting a new accessory that allows them to supervise their children when they go to school, or to control their pets to avoid loss. However, these practical applications are what Apple suggests not to do. According to Kaiann Drance, vice president of global iPhone marketing and senior director of connectivity and sensors Ron Huang, Apple designed AirTag to help users monitor the location of objects, not people or animals. . So, if parents need to track their child’s footsteps (eg in an amusement park or fair), “Apple” recommends using the Apple Watch with Family Setup, regardless of the cost. for this option was much higher than AirTag. Using Bluetooth energy-saving connectivity and W1 chip (similar to AirPods), AirTag is compact in size, can be attached to devices, keys, bags … to monitor the location of items on an Apple digital device (eg iPhone). AirTag is also equipped with micro speakers, allowing audio playback to help users easily locate their items. In fact, to ensure security, Apple uses a data encryption mechanism to limit only the iPhone that has synced data with AirTag can see the exact location of the accessory. However, the fact that users can abuse AirTag to spy on each other is still a concern. Besides, AirTag with removable battery structure will also be easily disabled by bad guys. This makes it more suited as a personal utility accessory than an anti-theft support tool.
