Apple Watch – hint of sleep monitoring emerged

Paris, France - Sep 20, 2019: Close-up of two new wearable Apple Watch Series 5 presentation sale in Apple Store with watchOS 6 and new OLED display, which can stay always on

Apple is working on its own sleep monitoring system – this rumor has been considered a certainty for some time. But where is the feature?

Eine Schlafüberwachung – direkt von Apple – wünschen sich viele Apple Watch Nutzer – doch bislang wurde nichts dergleichen aus Cupertino vorgestellt. Diverse Quellen haben über Apples neues “Sleep Tracking”-Feature mehrfach berichtet, Hinweise in der iOS 13 Beta wurden ebenfalls im Sommer gefunden – auch Insider haben geplaudert. Wer bislang den Gerüchten nicht geglaubt hat, der könnte nun im watchOS App Store eine Bestätigung finden. Ein aufmerksamer MacRumors Leser hat einen Hinweis gefunden, der die Funktion offiziell bestätigt. Demnach hat Apple in der eigenen “Alarms-App” für die Apple Watch einen Screenshot im App Store hochgeladen, der das Feature hervorhebt. In dem Screenshot ist folgender Text enthalten: “Set your bedtime and wake up in the Sleep App”. Demnach können Interessenten ihre Einschlaf- sowie Aufwachzeit in der Sleep-App hinterlegen. Einen besseren Beweis kann es eigentlich nicht geben. Die App tauchte erstmals in einer früheren iOS 13 Beta auf – seitdem gab es keine weiteren Hinweise im Code – auch die aktuelle watchOS 6.1 Beta scheint das Feature nicht zu beinhalten.

Sleep monitoring with the Apple Watch

The current information on this topic is as follows. According to insiders, Apple's sleep monitoring will not require any additional accessories - the sensors on the Apple Watch would be completely sufficient - but backwards compatibility has been confirmed. The new function is known internally under the code name "Burrito" and is referred to as "Time in Bed Tracking". It allows the user to wear their Apple Watch in bed and measure their sleep. If you have multiple Apple Watch models, you have to assign the sleep analysis to a fixed device - so is it backwards compatible after all? While the wearer is sleeping, the Apple Watch records the quality of sleep using the built-in sensors - the system also records the user's movements, ambient noise and heart rate. The stored data is then made available in the Health app on the iPhone and in a new application called "Sleep" for the Apple Watch.

Release date later than expected?

The question of whether Apple is working on such a function should therefore be answered. But now the big question is - when will the feature be released? While many assumed that Apple could introduce the function in a later watchOS 6 version this year, some now believe that it will be presented much later. The function seems to be somewhat more complex, which is why Apple needs more time to develop it. According to observers, an introduction by the end of 2020 is not unrealistic - and one point is not clear with certainty. Does the function require new hardware or will it be backwards compatible? Current opinions tend towards the latter - we will see. (Photo by hadrian / Bigstockphoto)
