all right well so you know we heard uh I
0:01
guess we talked a couple weeks ago about
0:03
uh how it's Apple Watch series 10 is
0:05
going to have this great new thinner
0:06
design with a bigger display uh that all
0:10
sounds great I am a fan of thin and
0:12
light especially if they can maintain
0:14
the
0:15
battery or increase the battery but
0:18
here's the bummer sounds like new health
0:20
sensors won't arrive this year so how
0:24
can that
0:25
be apple reportedly ran into problems
0:28
with several Health features it was
0:29
working on
0:30
for the Apple watch this year the
0:32
company planned to add a high blood
0:35
pressure monitoring and sleep apnea
0:38
detection to the Apple watch but
0:40
according to Apple scoop Machine Mark
0:43
German in his newsletter he said quote
0:46
serious snags close quote could delay
0:49
release of the features I'll just quote
0:52
from his uh piece which which is very
0:56
dis distressing to me the the technology
0:59
that measures high blood pressure or
1:01
hypertension hasn't been as reliable as
1:03
hoped during testing that may Force
1:05
Apple to postpone the release Beyond
1:06
this year there have been particular
1:08
concerns about the blood pressure
1:09
feature working properly with the new
1:11
series 10
1:13
design he said also uh even when the
1:16
option does launch it won't be a
1:18
replacement for the blood pressure cuff
1:19
that some consumers have at home the
1:20
mechanism isn't designed to give you an
1:22
actual reading unlike the heart rate and
1:24
blood oxygen apps on the Apple watch
1:26
instead it will figure out your Baseline
1:28
and monitor if your blood pressure is
1:29
relative ly High then you'll be able to
1:31
take note of what you were doing when
1:32
your reading spiked I wonder what wonder
1:35
what that would
1:37
be so that sounds in line with a lot of
1:39
things that Apple watch does already
1:41
right like gives you
1:42
a uh nonmedical yeah it's it's it's
1:47
monitoring constantly which is awesome
1:49
and and this actually sounds good I mean
1:51
you know it's like oh you know I got
1:53
three dings in a row from slack and my
1:55
blood pressure went up 10 10 points
1:58
right or
2:01
maybe more likely 50 points uh so that
2:06
that actually even if it's not an exact
2:09
reading that would be very very helpful
2:10
for a lot of people just like having you
2:12
know blood glucose monitoring constantly
2:16
throughout your day and week whatever
2:19
would would be very helpful for people
2:21
it helps
2:22
them you know connect their actions or
2:25
things that happen to them with their
2:28
physical health so anyway that's a big
2:30
bummer I've been waiting for this one
2:31
for a long time I would love to have
2:33
that in there scared to go get my blood
2:36
blood pressure check anyway uh so this
2:39
this is a funny one the sleep apnea
2:40
detection might not de debut in this
2:43
this watch because it relies on
2:45
monitoring your blood oxygenation level
2:48
which of course Apple had to remove that
2:50
from series 9 and Apple watch Ultra
2:53
because of this ongoing patent dispute
2:55
so it sounds like that I wonder when
2:57
that's going to be rolled up I mean can
3:00
they what are they doing come on just
3:02
give buy the give them a check and let
3:05
it and move on well who knows how much
3:08
money this company wants I mean if
3:10
they're saying that they own the patent
3:12
and Apple has to pay them they could
3:15
literally set whatever price they want
3:17
okay Apple Apple has that amount of
3:19
money I guarantee the biggest number
3:21
anybody at masimo comes up with Apple
3:23
has that amount of money like it's if if
3:26
it if this affects two generations of
3:28
Apple watch I think
3:30
I think I'll be kind of irritated I'm
3:31
not even planning on buying an Apple
3:33
watch this year but like come on guys
3:34
figure this out it's been almost a year
3:37
I know crazy how long it's dragging out
3:39
can you imagine it comes out and it has
3:42
the exact same features as last time
3:44
it's just slightly bigger and you know
3:47
slightly I'm sure the display will be
3:49
you know the best display ever on an
3:51
Apple Watch it'll be you know brighter
3:53
and bigger and everything else and it'll
3:56
look a lot like the current watches and
3:59
you know it'll be I'm sure it'll be
4:01
slightly better just like every watch
4:03
last five years slightly better that
4:06
that's what the series seven was like I
4:07
have the series 7 its only new feature
4:09
was like the display was like what 02
4:12
inches larger than the one before it
4:13
this every year I don't I don't even
4:16
think they made the display bigger on
4:17
the seven did they they they did only
4:20
slightly bigger and that's why they said
4:21
that this watch series 7 can show a full
4:23
Cy keyboard and the Series 6 which is
4:27
smaller couldn't I that's also when they
4:29
moved it from like 40 to 41 MIM
4:32
something like that but like it also why
4:35
does Apple feel like they need to update
4:36
the Apple watch every single year you
4:38
know if the updates are so tiny I don't
4:39
think anybody would you know be upset if
4:42
it's like yeah well you know we could we
4:45
could we could make a watch that's
4:47
basically the same or we could just keep
4:48
selling the same one for another six
4:50
months I mean I think the the question
4:52
answers itself I
4:53
mean because they need to they need to
4:56
maintain the facade of of newness so
4:59
that people keep buying them and every
5:02
time there's a quote unquote new watch
5:04
like even if people who know Apple
5:06
watches and the features and what
5:08
features are new or not uh well people
5:12
who I think people already keep their
5:14
apple watches for like five or six years
5:16
I know but they constantly have to keep
5:17
dangling that carrot and so people don't
5:20
follow that stuff just see new and they
5:21
don't know what features are in the
5:23
watch like oh it's new I'll just get
5:24
that one right so they might be more
5:25
motivated to buy that one I mean I'm I'm
5:28
planning on upgrading to the new Ultra
5:30
probably when they release that one
5:32
mine's almost 2 years old there's
5:33
nothing wrong with the ultra that I have
5:35
but after 2 years I'm like okay it has
5:37
enough like small features that it might
5:39
be worth upgrading but I feel like with
5:42
Apple watch this happens every single
5:44
year we hear about all these features
5:45
that are going to be coming to it a lot
5:47
of them end up being software features
5:50
and nothing huge from a hardware
5:52
perspective and this has been going on
5:54
for so long like the one feature I think
5:56
that was actually like a big one that
5:58
was worth it was the always on display
6:01
which happened in the series five I
6:03
think I believe and after that I can't
6:07
pick of a feature that has been released
6:09
that I have found to be personally
6:11
useful oh but you don't have double tap
6:14
do you no I keep trying the Marquee
6:18
feature of the series now I don't yet no
6:20
I want to be picking the invisible
6:22
blueberries
6:23
but this is more like ashing the
6:25
invisible
6:28
cigarette ashing the isible cigarette
6:30
are you are you walking around ashing
6:32
leis uh a long time since I've asked I I
6:35
I read Griffin's how too this week on uh
6:38
yeah what was it on it was we published
6:40
it like six months ago or something we
6:42
updated it and republished it oh it was
6:44
that that was the one about the watch OS
6:46
10 smart widget stick oh right the
6:48
widgets yeah and and you know thank you
6:49
for writing that and screw me for not
6:51
paying attention to it the first time I
6:53
read it but uh I went through it I'm
6:54
like wow this actually makes a lot of
6:56
sense and and the double tap gesture
6:59
which brings that smart Stack Up is
7:01
actually handy it's actually handy I and
7:05
I I've i' like never used it at all but
7:07
I found myself using it lately you know
7:09
in the privacy of my own home of course
7:12
I don't think I'll be doing that in
7:13
public but well you will eventually it's
7:15
only a matter of time before you're out
7:16
there picking the blueberries
