It seems that with the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10, Apple could finally introduce a way for users to measure their blood pressure levels.
A new report expects a kind of blood-pressure monitoring feature to be added to the Apple Watch Series 10, but there is an important caveat to that claim. Apple has been working on what many call the "holy grails" of non-invasive blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring for years.

Apple testing the Apple Pencil with the Apple Vision Pro When Apple released the Apple Vision Pro, it made a big deal about how the spatial computing headset didn't rely on any sort of handheld controller. Instead, the Apple Vision Pro relies on the "gaze and pinch" system. However, that may change. The company is now...
After the US Department of Justice launched a lawsuit against Apple, arguing that the company has maintained illegal monopoly over the smartphone market and some related services, the Cupertino-based firm came out with a surprising story. For years now, one of the main criticisms against Apple has been its walled garden approach, which makes it extremely difficult or impossible to use its devices with other non-Apple products. However, it appears that the tech company tried to make its Apple...
The three-year effort was supposedly cancelled due to 'technical limitations.'
Apple has ended a project to develop microLED displays in-house, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in a reversal of his prior reporting on the development of the technology. Apple invested billions in developing microLED displays, with plans to first add microLED to the Apple Watch Ultra. MicroLED was too expensive and too complex for Apple to design, so Apple is now reorganizing its display engineering teams and laying off employees in the U.S. and Asia. Some of the displaced employees...
