Apple Health App Data Helps Send a Man to Prison for His Wife's Death

Yes, if you click through to the article, toward the bottom it says he gave the police permission to access the phone.
There is no mention anywhere that he had an Apple Watch, just the iPhone. Why are so many commenters talking about what the watch would record? The phone doesn’t record steps as accurately as the watch does so that could explain why so few steps.
Yeah you could be hit by lightning twice also, find something else to be uneasy about. Or not
Master framer to get his fingerprint on the murder weapon, must be a deep sleeper.
Lol just as I thought we have a thread full of armchair lawyers second-guessing a 3-year trial based on a 20 second article. Adorable as always
Yea it’s not like this was the smoking gun. It simply re-enforced other evidence found at the crime, like the fingerprints. Regardless of steps, it shows that he lied.
I know my watch isn't 100% accurate. I get steps when I am not walking and do not get steps when I am. I've gotten standing congratulations without leaving my chair.
Also, there are a lot of bottles in my house with my fingerprints on them - not just the Rum - the other stuff too.
I really hope there was more to this case than that.

I agree. Sooner or later, the darkness is always exposed by the light.
Wait. He had his fingerprints on a bottle in his house? Definitely the murderer!

18 steps, 7 minutes? Sounds like a trip to take a pee....what was his heart rate?
There was a case here of a woman accused of killing her mother in law that went to trial last year and data from an apple watch was used as part of the prosecution evidence. The accused alleged her MIL was followed home by three people, they stood outside arguing for 20 minutes and they then killed her and tied up the accused. The apple watch data contradicted that version of events as it showed when she died which was soon after arriving home, not later as the accused said.
Ultimately the jury was hung and it will go to retrial later this year so it clearly didn't sway them one way or the other, but with more smart devices capable of biometric data collection being used perhaps it will play a big part in future court cases.

You're kidding, right? All the encryption in the world can't save you entirely from physical access. If someone wants into something, they'll get into it.
Well, no, that’s sort of the whole point of encryption.
if you’ve learned otherwise, this guy will probably be happy to provide physical access:
