  • Low heart rate monitoring included in watchOS 5

    I wouldn't be surprised if a version of the Afib is added for series 1-3 in watchOS 5.1 (or whichever version adds ECG to series 4). II could be mistaken, but wasn't data from the Apple heart study with Stanford used to get clearance for the Afib app... which came from pre-Series 4 watches?

  • Inside Apple's move to ramp up security & privacy in iOS 12 & macOS Mojave

    Hopefully the Developer ID/Notarize will have a free or small fee option (assuming it doesn't already) when it eventually becomes a requirement. There is a lot of great open source software that has been available for the macOS as zero cost for decades. Anyone has an idea about this?
    Of note is that is has been confirmed by MacBreak Weekly contributor and iMore writer Micha Sargent, who attended the presentation of this, that the new Gatekeeper will NOT be able to be turned off. Unless an app is a) from the App Store, b) developer signed, or c) Notarized it will not be allowed to launch, period. Leo LaPorte flew into a rage, Andy Ihnatko just shook his head. It's coming.
    Another example of extrapolating something.  Micah was not 100% correct.  The notary feature is being introduced as a beta, and not a requirement in macOS Mojave, though it will be implemented at some point.  Apple indicated they want feedback. Presumably, things like open source software and writing your own personal software are things for which they will receive feedback, and hopefully they will allow these special cases through some mechanism.  If not, then Leo can fly into a rage based on actual facts.

  • Toyota concedes, reveals plans to launch first cars with Apple CarPlay

    "In theory that could allow the technology to appear on some 2018 models such as the Camry and Sienna, but so far the company has only confirmed 2019 model support."

    Toyota owners of 2018 Camry or Sienna... start 
    complaining as a Toyota person told the Car Connection that they will not be retrofitting 2018 models with this capability: http://bit.ly/2D4PFuY

  • First Alert debuts Onelink Safe & Sound smoke alarm/speaker with HomeKit, AirPlay 2 suppor...

    Since smoke detectors typically have a 10 year expiration date... I assume with a $249 price tag, there is some modular way to replace the smoke detector portion of the device without having to throw away the entire thing?

  • Apple is de-bloating iTunes with latest 12.7 release, removes App Store

    gadgetdon said:  So, no more creating your own ringtone and uploading it to your phone? There are still apps where you use iTunes to push documents to it, those are now toast. Not a fan.

    This seems to indicate that manual file movement should still be possible:  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201593
