Apple Watch ECG app could arrive in Europe with watchOS 5.2
Interesting, I know this wasn’t the case before 12.2 as you only had to be in the US in the set up. Never mind - I’m waiting patiently anyhow.fred1 said:
The ECG features won’t work outside the US and territories no matter where you buy it or have your iTunes account. It’s geofenced not to work overseas. Or so I was told by Apple tech support.wattouk said:
It would work however there is an issue, the e-sim won’t work in Europe and the rest of the world as it uses a different MHz band to North America so you’d be trading one feature for another. I only know this because I was doing to so this exact thing myself.beowulfschmidt said:

Isn't there a way around regulations to offer this app when announced?
E.g., by including a notice that, pending approval by local health authorities, the ECG results are only informative and/or educational.
I am sick and tired of seeing that features announced by Apple remain unavailable for months, even years.
Such delays abount to too large a fraction of the useful life of the Apple devices that its faithful early adopters buy (and are a major component of Apple's income).
You might have gotten that functionality had you traveled to the US, bought and activated your watch, and then returned to your home. I don't know if that would actually work, but it might have.

Review: Apple's new AirPods are a first-class update to an already superb product
I've been waiting off AirPods for myself for 6 months as I knew that the new ones were coming out. The only feature I'll be honest that I'm a little disappointed with is the delay between saying "Hey Siri" and the action, it's not a major issue but it's not as instant as I come to expect from Apple products. -

For the average user, most probably won't notice a difference after a quick comparison myself.wood1208 said:Has anyone else had Airpod1 and now has AirPod2 and confirm AirPod2 has improved audio ? Because some moron article writers on some web sites say, audio same as AirPod1. -

Artists claim Apple pays in goods instead of cash for Today at Apple sessions
I don't get how apple can be the bad guys here. If you're stupid enough to do something without a written contract stating a fee, then its your own fault.
