Apple Watch worn by Saudi journalist may have transmitted evidence of his death
- samstave 8y agoRemote health monitoring of an Apple watch seems to be a very interesting future service that likely is already here we just don't know about it widely yet.
- mindgam3 8y agoNot credible. The original source makes one bogus claim that the journalist’s fingerprint was used to unlock Apple Watch. Nice idea, but Touch ID doesn’t exist for watch. It would be active on his phone, but the same source reports that his phone was left with his fiancé, thus it wasn’t on the guy when he disappeared. CNN should do basic fact checking before reporting stuff like this.

- mindgam3 8y agoYou got me there. I still maintain that they should put that closer to the headline.
