I believe the credible leaks/rumors peg this as something closer to a December special event, not today.

:mad:

Yeah, not expecting any news on it today but that is probably the one piece of tech I'm actually excited about. I really hope that market rapidly accelerates when Apple enters it.

it's legitimately cool that an apple/smartwatch can give you a heads up about potentially/actually serious health issues

but don't all the disclaimers all basically say that it's not for serious medical use? or have they gotten some actual certifications to make it legit?

The small print actually says "We'll take credit for a positive outcome. Negative outcome? Well, we warned you."

Honest question from someone not in the Apple universe: can the watch be a legit "life alert" for senior citizens? My folks are getting older and I worry about them falling and not being able to stand up without help.

Apple watch has fall detection and will take voice commands like Call 911... so ya!


Happy Noodle Boy posted:

The watch has had fall protection for a few years now to cover exactly this.

Yes. It has a fall detection and can be set to automatically dial 911.

Thanks!
