Apple Watch Series 10 will monitor blood pressure, detect sleep apnea
A bit behind again. I have a Chinese sourced non-Apple Watch, that is pretty much spot on with blood pressure compared to an upper arm cuff measurement… after it was calibrated, using said cuff. Cost less than $50. it also measures heart rate, SPO2, and temperature — and makes a guesstimate about blood sugar. However, the glucose measurement is wildly off and not in the least reliable. So the BP technology has been around for a while and proven. Apple’s just refused to include it. -
Apple will frame iPhone 15 USB-C switch as a consumer win
Apple doesn’t need to frame it as a Win. It is a Win for the Consumer. Apple has already adopted it on their chargers, most iPads, and Mac. It was plain stupid to have a partial adoption and continue to have it on the iPhone, AirPods (pro and other) and the bottom end iPad. And not just the connector but multiple interface and charging circuits. Tired of the plethora of cables for different devices including USBC to lightning. At this point I’d pay a battery replacement fee to have my iPhone 13 converted.
For those saying use the magnetic charger, I want faster charging at times —which necessitates using a USB-C charger and a USB-C to Lightning adapter cable (or adapter on a USB-C double ended cable). -
GM ditching CarPlay & Android Auto for Google-built infotainment system
Sorry GM. With the exception of Silverado pickup truck I married into (the wife had one), you lost me decades ago to Toyota and Honda. At my age and the way those vehicles wear, I don't foresee buying ANY vehicles, much less ANY GM products in my future. And stunts like this further dissuade me from darkening the door of a Chevy/Buick/Cadillac (no 'HUMMERS' ever) dealership even if a new one becomes necessary. If I am forced to go electric, I'll go Tesla.
