Next-gen Apple Watch models to integrate solid-state buttons & EKG functions, report says

Woman credits Apple Watch with saving life after AFib alert
dk49 said:I have always wondered how the Apple Watch detects AFib? Does it require a special sensor, other than the heart rate sensor? If not then why don't all smart bands/smart watches with heart rate sensor detect AFib?
About that last part, I can't find the exact wording right now, but I seem to remember reading something about how if it gets this kind of reading a certain number of times within a day or whatever then you'll get the notification. So it's not just if it gets a high reading once. I got the notification one day when I had been experiencing noticeable heart rate irregularity all day. Got the notification late in the evening. In the data it shows me five different readings that it collected over about an 8 hour period before it gave me the notification. And yes I have since seen my doctor about it and things seem to be fine for now
But all in all I think it is just based on heart rate data that it collects methodically and notifies you that it "MAY BE" AFib if it gets what it thinks is enough data over a period of time to make that suggestion. -
Apple discontinues sales of iPhone X, 6S, 6S Plus and SE
So, I'll probably shop for a used SE for my wife who needs to upgrade from a 5S and doesn't want to go bigger. I figure if she's getting by on a 5S now, an SE should still be pretty good for her for at least a couple more years (and then she may just have to face the inevitable, unless Apple does surprise us with a new smaller phone by some miracle).
My question for the collective intelligence is what should I expect the SE market to do now? Will retailers start selling them off cheap and maybe I should be looking at new for a good deal? Or will prices hold as now they're in limited supply (I guess we don't fully know if Apple is still making them and just not selling them themselves or if they've stopped production for the U.S. market)? And with the used market, will people be offloading them at lower prices as a now older and discontinued model, or will prices start to actually creep up since demand in the used market might be greater coming from those who were waiting for an upgrade but now scrambling to snatch up what remains of the last good small phone?
Thoughts before I buy? -
New MacBook Pro with M1 Max processor will ditch Touch Bar, adopt MagSafe
For those that want all the legacy ports and complaining about dongles, get one of those satechi hubs that fit along the edge of the MacBook and just leave it on all the time. USB A, sd, micro sd, hdmi, Ethernet. And it doesn’t make the MacBook any greater volume than it would have to be if all those ports were integrated. -
