With the end of the week, we bring you another part of our summary of speculations that have appeared on the Internet in the past few days. This week, for example, there was talk of another new feature of the future Apple Watch, new information about the upcoming smart glasses from Apple surfaced, and we also got pictures of new color variants of the Powerbeats Pro headphones.

Apple Watch and water detection

Smart watches from Apple we are in past works our summaries have been devoted to speculation quite often - and we will not miss this topic this time either. In June, we can expect the arrival of the watchOS 7 operating system, and in the fall, the presentation of the new generation of Apple Watch, which can be expected to have a number of new functions. These should be focused mainly on the health of the user, and in this context there has already been talk about the possible ability of the Apple Watch to measure blood pressure or detect a possible panic attack. Recently registered patent suggests that a future Apple Watch — but most likely not the Series 6 — could be able to detect potential drowning by analyzing a number of relevant factors, such as the composition of the water or the time of day. However, a watch that would be equipped with the mentioned sensor could also be able to detect the proportion of dangerous substances in the water, thanks to which users will know where it is not too safe to swim. However, the question is – as with all patents – whether the technology will even be put into practice in the future.

The appearance of the upcoming Powerbeats Pro

Apple introduced the first generation of wireless headphones in the spring of last year Powerbeats Pro. The fact that their second generation will appear has been practically taken for granted by everyone for a long time. This was recently revealed by the certification that Apple received for its wireless headphones. Definitive confirmation came this week thanks to leaked promotional images of the second generation Powerbeats Pro. However, with the publication of the leak came a partial disappointment - rather than a second generation in the true sense of the word - that is, with new functions and improvements - it seems that it will be more of a visually different variant of the headphones. It should be sold in Glacier Blue, Spring Yellow, Cloud Pink and Lava Red colors in the foreseeable future. Powerbeats Pro headphones in new colors should see the light of day in early June.

Smart glasses from Apple

Leaker Jon Prosser has been a rich source of various information related to Apple's plans for some time now. It has long been speculated that the Cupertino company could release its own smart glasses - but only recently did Prosser come up with more detailed information. He posted a video on YouTube revealing the name and price of the glasses. The glasses should be called Apple Glass, prices will vary depending on the model and features, but should start at $499. Their use will be heavily dependent on the iPhone and their release should happen either at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year. Apple Glass, which Prosser talked about in the video, resembles classic glasses in appearance. They should be equipped with special displays, a LiDAR sensor and a gesture control function.
