Apple is full of useless people sorry to tell you guys. These people talk health all the time and introduce completely useless features like:
*Apple Fitness (embarrassing)
*Apple Health App
*Mindfullness App (embarrassing)
*Sensors in the Apple Watch worn primarily by young, healthy adults and teenagers
Let me give you some tips Apple, since you guys don’t have anyone smart there any longer.
Instead of your embarrassing and useless endeavors into AirPods Max, HomePod, Vision Pro, and Apple TV.
Let’s go ahead and make a true health sensor device that is just that, and nothing more. It can be worn by anyone of any age and is specifically designed for extreme comfort so it ‘disappears’ when being worn. It is worn in a tighter way than watches, has far greater surface area for more accurate sensing, has no screen, and only wireless communicates with smartphones of any brand, not just Apple. This device is for humans not Apple customers. It is for health not ecosystem locking. It is for elderly people so they can actually be tracked because we know they won’t be wearing a damn Apple Watch on their wrist. It is a largely cloth, extremely breathable device that wraps around the wrist, but much wider and with more elasticity than the Apple Watch or any of its bands. It can also be worn around the upper arm, or leg. In all cases there are different cloth band sizes that are of different size but with extreme elasticity and comfort and extremely hypoallergenic. It is not thick at all, it lays almost flush and the electronics wrap around an interior grooved portion in the elastic cloth. It can be remove and magnetically charge on any qi1 qi2 MagSafe charger or the back of iPhones and other smartphones.
It has no display as mentioned, all data is sent to the phone but there is an app for iOS, android, and Samsung designed specifically for it. It has external LEDs which can light up and flash to give notifications to the wearer which can be dismissed with a double-tap (accelerometer/gyroscope sensors). These LEDs are in a band on both sides of the electronic device itself and so they look like 2 bars of light flanking the device. These LEDs are not just for notifications, but also for safety when running at night, for a visual clue to drivers. There is a specific type shown when the battery is low, etc. these are obviously astronomically more efficient and take virtually no space or battery compared to a display.
There is also a tiny speaker but again, there are no phone calls, or anything of the sort. It is strictly for notification sounds. A very tiny Taptic Engine could also be included, but it would be limited to very specific notifications such that you could not link it to most notifications people get on their phones all day from useless apps. We don’t want it using battery unnecessarily. It would only notify for phone calls, messages in official message apps, health sensing, and alarms/timers. All of which can be silenced instantly with a double tap on the device.
I’d fire everyone on the Siri teams, hire all new AI-focused researchers and experts. One of the main things they’d be tasked with is creating a Siri AI agent that’s only job is to monitor the data from this device and can communicate to the user via notifications on the phone, and via directly talking to the user as they are wearing AirPods or in the home via HomePod minis which I would reduce in price to $30. You—as the user— can use natural language to tell this Siri when you’d like it to talk to you about this data or if you’d like it to update you at regular intervals or when it thinks is important. For example, if you were out running and you were wearing AirPods you can have this Siri agent to be cognizant when you begin running based on sensors and music playback, and every 5-10min or every mile, or whenever you choose, Siri would lower the music and update you on whatever metrics you want updated on. It could also tell you in natural language whether you should speed up to maintain or break your previous pace from the past mile or from prior runs or exercises.
Overall, I think it’s sad what Apple has become and that I can conceive of these ideas as a singular person, yet their ideas and implementation is so poor with large teams.
