Apple Watch ECG detects heart condition in German woman
I'm in the industry and can testify that, as far as this device is concerned, it's passed a rigorous application process. It also has CE marking which these days is a higher bar.bloodshotrollin'red said:
Please, don't behave like you're an idiot. Cokacola would gain FDA approval as a cure for cancer if submitted. The bar for FDA clearance is so unbelievably low, all any "submission" has to claim is that a vaguely similar prior tech or medication has already been approved for the FDA to approve the new submission. Australian Health Dept. is doing Australians a great service. Oz may be a member of FiveEyes, but only three members have any brains...the USA ain't one of them.jcbigears said:Makes me furious that we still don’t have this feature active in Australia. There’s no reason for it not to be as once a medical device is FDA approved its a “tick the box” form for it to be approved here by our TGA.

Final 'big four' Australian bank folds, announces Apple Pay rollout by mid-2020
I've got to agree that Australia has been way ahead with many banking technologies like the cards with the in-built chips a few decades ago and with "tap and go" technologies like ApplePay. I only carry my phone with the driver's license when I go out and that's all I need. Haven't touched cash for years.
Having said all that, though, "HEY, TIM COOK, CAN WE NOW GET THE ECG FUNCTION ACTIVATED ON OUR APPLE WATCHES DOWN HERE?"

Apple releases watchOS 7 update for Apple Watch
I was surprised to find that with my series 4, the battery lasted overnight in theatre mode, and the. I’d charge it during my morning routine. I’d charge it again for about an hour in the evening and then wear it again overnight. Surprised me how quickly it charged when you’re paying attention!kimberly said:I assume the majority of Apple Watch users charge them when they are sleeping so ... good point

iOS 16 & iOS 15.7 updaters hit with App Store terms & conditions bug
There's another big problem with CarPlay if you drive on the left hand side of the road. See attached. In full screen map view, the map controls are underneath the directions. An error that I would've thought should've been picked up prior to release. It's not like there's a lack of apple users in the UK and Australia.
