Apple iPhone was the top-selling smartphone series in China for the first time last year, a surprisingly strong showing in the face of fierce local competition and expanding government prohibitions against the American company's technology. The iPhone ranked first in shipments in the fourth quarter and 2023 overall, market tracker IDC said. It came after several analysts, including Jefferies, said iPhone sales tanked in the fourth quarter due to a lull in enthusiasm for the Cupertino, California company's latest generation of hardware in the world's biggest smartphone market. IDC also noted rising competition from domestic names like a resurgent Huawei Technologies Co., but timely discounts and promotions helped reduce the harm for Apple.

Digital health company Withings announced its BeamO “multiscope,” a device that can perform four health checks in under a minute.
The Beamo fuses the capabilities of thermometer, electrocardiogram, oximeter and stethoscope in an at-home checkup device. In other words, the multiscope can do more than a fitness watch and leapfrog other single-purpose devices.
The aim is to let people do more tests at home and talk to doctors in remote calls about the results, advancing the efficiency of telemedicine.
Typically, temperature is the only health scan performed regularly at home, Withings said. BeamO is positioned to become the new thermometer of the future in every home, and observe heart and lung health at the same time, the company hopes.

Withings is based in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, and it’s showing the tech off at CES 2024, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas next week. Of course, there will be tons of competition out there from other digital health companies, all vying to be the one solutions to solve them all. I’m looking at a Circular health ring on my desk, I’ve got an Apple Watch and I’ve got an iPhone.
That arms me with far more information than I’ve ever had before. Many devices can connect to the phone and aggregate data. We don’t have our Star Trek Tricorder yet, but we’re getting there. Last year, Withings made headlines at CES 2023 with its urinalysis tool based on toilet readings.
This advanced “multiscope” will place the ability to measure core health vitals taken during physician visits into the palm of the hand and will become available in the United States following FDA clearance, Withings said.
For the first time, BeamO will combine ECG, oximeter, stethoscope, and thermometer sensors to turn the humble thermometer into a powerful tool for regular monitoring of heart and lung health. Portable and smaller than a smartphone, it is designed to help individuals and families perform at-home checkups and to substantially improve the quality of telehealth visits.
“BeamO is a transformative multiscope device. Once, body temperature was the only health scan routinely taken at home,” said Eric Carreel, president of Withings, in a statement. “BeamO will revolutionize the measurement of the core vitals carried out during medical visits from the comfort of one’s own home.”
He added, “This crucial data will provide a vital overview of overall health or warning signs of potential areas of concern. Instead of measuring these stats a couple of times a year in a clinical setting, it

Lockheed and NASA Unveil Supersonic Jet X-59 That Curbs Window-Shattering Sonic Boom
Lockheed Martin Corp. and NASA gave the public a sneak peek of a plane that could pave the way for cutting some flight times in half. The X-59, which was unveiled on Friday afternoon in Palmdale, California, has been designed to fly faster than the speed of sound with much less noise. When planes break the sound barrier — called Mach 1 — a loud and continuous sonic boom is created that can shatter windows on the ground. The US banned civilian aircraft from reaching this speed over land in 1973.
