The camera specifications have also been improved to 48 million pixels. The Apple Watch 8 also introduces various new technologies compared to its predecessor, such as body temperature measurement and vehicle crash detection.

At Emart Ace Store, various benefits are offered to customers who pre-order Apple’s new products. For iPhone pre-order customers, there are 24-month interest-free installment plans with credit cards, discounts up to 90,000 KRW when purchasing with promotional cards, and a 50% discount event when purchasing genuine cases and chargers simultaneously.
