They needed to have a quick, cheap, simple, easy way to let any doctor reset the pacemaker to a known-good state. I can totally understand why they went for this.
Apple should have done basic testing before releasing this in the wild with plans to sell hundreds of millions of these devices. At that large scale, you must consider all kinds of users.
And pacemaker usage is relatively quite common nowadays. I'd be surprised if nobody directly involved in magsafe development had a pacemaker installed.
- Perenti 6y agoAn ICD is a bit more drastic than a pacemaker. They do have a pacemaker-like mode, called overpacing that tries to slow down tachycardia, but their main function is delivering shocks to reset life-threatening arrythmias or to defibrillate in the case of ventricular or atrial fibrilation. ICDs are also much larger than pacemakers, as they have to have much larger batteries and capacitors.
