Apple Watch fall detection feature saves hiker's life! Know how he did it

As an Android smartphone user, it can be annoying when you accidentally delete a letter or a word while typing and have to rewrite it all over again. Apple users have it easy as the iPhones come built with a ‘Shake-to-Undo' feature that can undo texts and even emails by physically shaking the phone. But Android users aren't so lucky. So far, the undo options are limited to certain apps like Google Docs, but there is no universal feature across the device. Or so we thought. But it turns out that with a simple change to your Gboard (the Google-powered keyboard which comes pre-installed for most Android phones), you can get a dedicated undo button. But it is tricky to find how to add it. Let us take a look.

Time and again, Apple Watches have been credited with saving the lives of the wearer by alerting them of potential health anomalies. Consequently, it has become one of the most crucial pieces of wearable technology that you can buy in recent years. Recently, Apple has come under heavy fire for a patent dispute with Masimo. This has resulted in a ban on the sale of Apple Watches in the US. However, this hasn't stopped the Cupertino-based tech giant from innovating. A recent report has suggested that the Apple Watch Series 10 might involve a major design overhaul that would render the old Apple Watch bands useless. Know about this latest development about the Apple Watch Series 10.

After an announcement was made stating that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 sales would be halted due to the import ban officially going into effect, both high-end wearables have been removed from the U.S. online store. Assuming you want to try your luck and get your hands on one or both of the latest models, you will be met with the sorely disappointing message that the devices are ‘Currently Unavailable.’

Yesterday, December 21, Apple lost a decisive appeal after the International Trade Commission refused to delay the ban on the sales of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. These two smartwatches were banned in the US after ITC ruled in favor of Masimo in the patent dispute involving a SpO2 (blood oxygen) sensor used by Apple. As per the ruling, Apple has now removed both of the products from its US online stores and they are no longer available to purchase. The smartwatches are still available in-store and through third-party retailers, but only till the existing stock lasts.

Masimo Corp. Chief Executive Officer Joe Kiani, head of the medical device maker that has put Apple Inc.'s smartwatch on the brink of a US ban, said he'd be open to settling with the company. 

Barring a last minute (and unlikely) presidential veto, the Apple Watch is largely coming off US shelves. Starting Thursday, Apple Inc. will stop selling the latest versions of the device though its online store and then in its physical stores, too, by Christmas Eve. Other sellers like Best Buy can continue to sell them until they are out of stock. It's a miserable end to a lackluster year for America's most valuable company and its chief executive officer, Tim Cook.

The Biden administration is “tracking” the impending US ban of nearly all Apple Watch sales due to a patent dispute, with power to veto the decision resting with the US Trade Representative. 

6 best smartwatches for iPhone: Smartwatches were once the new technological marvel, offering most of the smartphone capabilities on your wrist. However, these devices have now become a staple, with a smartwatch from every brand and for every budget available in the market. The best smartwatches are equipped with a vast range of health monitoring features that can potentially save your life one day. Thus, smartwatches have now become a daily essential that you shouldn't leave your home without. If you're an iPhone user, then the best smartwatches for the iPhone are usually the Apple Watches. These smartwatches by Apple are the best companion for your iPhone, offering seamless connectivity across apps. The Apple Watch carries a vast range of health and fitness features such as Crash Detection, Fall Detection, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring, and ECG. These features have the potential to notify users of potential health concerns, and in some instances, have prompted individuals to seek emergency medical assistance, ultimately saving their lives.

A violation of Masimo’s patents has resulted in various Apple Watch models getting banned in the U.S., though their sales will not be halted until December 21. Both companies have had a long history, as the health-focused technology corporation filed the lawsuit in 2020. However, according to the latest findings, Masimo appears to be on a vendetta against the Califoria-based giant, and his efforts in getting the Apple Watch banned in the U.S. have cost him around $60 million, but his reason for going against one of the largest entities in the world may not be misguided, as talked about in the latest rumor.

An Apple Watch sales ban was recently announced by the company as it is believed that certain models were violating patent infringements. Even though Apple is said to halt the sales of its smartwatches starting later this month, a new report states that a software update can help the company operate in the U.S. market once more. Unfortunately, Masimo, the firm that helped push the sales ban as it argues that its patents were infringed upon, brings another problem in Apple’s path.

Apple Inc. will stop selling the latest versions of its Apple Watch in the US due to a patent dispute, taking the devices off the market in the middle of the busy holiday season. Sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will be halted on the company's online store on Dec. 21 and at its physical retail stores beginning on Christmas Eve, it said in a statement. The move comes ahead of the anticipated import ban of Apple Watch models with a blood oxygen sensor — a feature in the latest lineup — stemming from a legal battle with Masimo Corp.
