  • How Apple's new iPhone & Apple Watch amp up user health monitoring

    Now that we have new Apple Watch models, I can't find what's the status with ECG and the whole legal fuss with AliveCor which involved a US import stop for some Apple devices.
    ECG seemed to be a central part of Apple health monitoring message, but no news or updates about it with Apple Glowtime event.
    No more bold references to EGC from Apple, as expected, and no reference also from journalists: some sort of code of silence?
    It's clear that the debate over the effectiveness of Apple Watch's ECG changes and heart monitoring capabilities is very much ongoing, with medical professionals raising concerns about recent changes to the Apple ECG technology (June 2024 amicus brief by a group of heart doctors) made to avoid legal fusses with AliveCor.
    A paragraph about the above in a piece titled "How Apple's new iPhone & Apple Watch amp up user health monitoring" would have been appropriate.

  • Apple to sell Apple Watch with blood oxygen detection removed to bypass ITC import ban

    Mmm.
    Still the patent covers hardware and software for that function.
    Would (temporarily) removing the software be an acceptable solution?
    Or would it be similar to selling the watch just with zero charge battery level, therefore with no blood oxygen function practically active?

  • Apple's stripping out blood oxygen sensing from Apple Watch enough to skirt import ban

    If the Masimo patents are related to hardware and software, then removing just the software might not avoid the violation.
    After all, a device that still carries hardware for a (temporarily) forbidden service could have that service reactivated at any subsequent software update.
    In consequence a device with hardware for a (temporarily) forbidden service inevitably has a higher market value than the same device without such hardware (where such service cannot be simply turned on with a software update).
    Such market value difference between a device with hardware for a (temporarily) forbidden service and one without such hardware would still be a violation of the patent holder exclusivity rights i.m.o..

  • Apple denies that iPhone 12 modem exceeds French limits on radio exposure

    Apple will continue the discussion to ensure that the model [iPhone 12] is not discontinued.
    Yet the very same day Apple discontinued the iPhone 12, no longer for sale on Apple website globally.

    Break up Meta is not good enough. They better off just shut down Facebook. It is bad for humanity and mental health. 
    Uh, that would be outside their scope or constitutional mandate. It’s not their job to protect humanity or mental health.
    Don’t Look Up.
