alski10, 17 Sep 2024Maybe it doesn't have the blood oxygen measurement app... moreI read somewhere that this would violate the patent still. So Apple should not use it, but who knows.

        Anonymous, 17 Sep 2024Lately, Apple’s been killin’ it.Having sleep apnea detection on your phone is excellent.
        They haven't been killing it in any other area. Getting customers to buy a phone or feel they need to upgrade for software that isn't even out. Not one live demo of that software just slick videos telling you it is perfect and works great. A camera that is nothing new just works slightly differently from Sony phones. Their phones are always great I am an Apple user but they are not killing although the hearing feature on the earphones is another great feature. but as a whole its a B-

            skeptical, 17 Sep 2024how does something on our wrist detects ACCURATELY that we ... moreIn case of Apple you are right. Blood oxygen measurement is important, but the Apple Watch does not have blood oxygen measurement in the USA. I can't imagine that their methode's accuracy is even close to the accuracy of the Samsung's methode which just needs 2 nights (it utilizes blood oxygen measurement). I guess 90% of the FDA employee's are wearing Apple Watches😁
