  • Apple releases HomePod software update 14.1 with Intercom

    Is intercom only available in certain countries? I’ve updated to 14.1 and intercom is nowhere to be seen. In Australia.

    I assume the majority of Apple Watch users charge them when they are sleeping so ... good point :/
    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!

  • Tim Cook responds to reader's Apple Watch ECG experience

    Just practicing my email:
    Dear Tim,
    Please make the ECG feature available to Australians.
    Your company has registered devices with the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods already https://bit.ly/3h2tZnt
    The ARTG accepts evidence from overseas regulators including FDA, Health Canada, European Union and Japan https://bit.ly/3kObtkR
    Please?
    Thanking you,
    John

  • Apple Watch ECG detects heart condition in German woman

    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. 
    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.
    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.
