'Dear Apple'

In case you missed it, Apple's event this week included another heartwarming video about the Apple Watch's genuine life-saving potential.

Dear Apple Intro
The video is titled "Dear Apple," in reference to the emails the company receives from Apple Watch customers who were alerted to health conditions, or were helped by features like Emergency SOS and Crash Detection at critical moments.


"Real people share how Apple Watch has changed and even helped save their lives—a fitness story in New York, a teen's struggle with mental health in the UK and powerful health and safety stories from the U.S., Japan, and Canada," said Apple.

Cousin works at Apple. Some were recorded "based" on emails which not entirely match up.

Just have to wait for some kind of leak or court document soon to unveil this.

who **** in your cereal this morning?

one of the stories in this video came from a town ~15 minutes away from me. I was so in disbelief when I saw the town name that I looked up the story just to confirm.

yeah, Apple likes to tug on heartstrings for the sake of selling a product—no need to be conspiratorial about the material they’re doing it with.

I think it's pretty tasteless for a company to use actual, real-life human suffering just to pat itself on the back.

This kind of self-adulation is cringe.

If Apple wanted to save lives with their technology, they'd focus on making stuff cheaper.
Do good and let the world know!

I work in an emergency department. I have seen so many people die because any help came too late. I am glad that cardiac arrests and similar events can be prevented and do not lead to death, just by a watch.

And you should be glad too.

Mine wasn't. I am sure that Apple required those posted to show the Health App data before posting. All recorded in the app. That recording convinced my Doctor to order additional tests. Without the recording, will just wait and see was the thought. Not a good thought by the way. Your comment, show me the supporting data that says never happened, all in the Health App.
