How Apple plans to keep you healthy
Over the years, the Apple Watch and iPhone have developed into sophisticated personal health devices.
There are numerous reports, for example, of Apple Watch saving people's lives by alerting them to unknown health conditions. (The latest one came yesterday.)
A new report from Apple lays out the company's efforts to bring important health information to users through their devices.
Apple notes that users can now capture 150 different types of health information using Apple Watch, iPhone and third-party apps.
The goal, Apple says, is to put users "firmly in the driver’s seat with meaningful, actionable insights."
That journey continues in the fall with iOS 16 and watchOS 9, which offer features focusing on 17 areas of health and fitness, from better sleep tracking to mobility.

Some of the best computer setups look a little boring at a glance. But that’s just because they include only essential gear and they keep it well lit and free of cable (and other) clutter. Today’s featured M1 MacBook Air setup is a good example. And that’s not to say it’s plain or overly simple.
Tweet o' the day
The sheer amount of data recorded is bonkers. I once did an export of four years of Watch data because I wanted to try to rebuild in iPad (it’s impossible for Reasons). It was over 7gb and there were files that recorded every step taken since 2018.

One more thing ...
"Apple has the opportunity to set a new example of how great an American corporation can be, sort of an intersection between science and aesthetics. Something happens to companies when they get to be a few million dollars -- their souls go away. And that's the biggest thing I'll be measured on: Were we able to grow a $10 billion company that didn't lose its soul?" -- Steve Jobs
