Live Coverage of Apple's iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and Apple Watch Event

The Apple Watch can now identify when you've fallen and can't get up

Detects a fall? I imagine Jeff even falls in slow motion. Somehow he defies gravity.

 

[itsmilo]

i think i know when i fell

 

[Nozuka]

Can't wait for all the youtube videos of people falling on purpose

 

[maflynn]

Fall detection will go wonderfully in karate

 

[technopimp]

My annual predictions:

Tim Cook looks even more ghoulish.

Phil "The Human Shill" Shiller shills the "best <thing> we've ever made"

The Wizard of Id does his "what we did was, make it smaller-er and thiner-er" gray tshirt-on-white-background talk.

Remove all useful ports from all machines.

Increase price by 20%.

500% more emoji!

 

[scottish]

Can detect a fall?! Lol

What do you mean lol?

 

[CaptMarvel]

Did he just try to insult me?! “You probably have no idea”...how dare he?!?

 

[BootsWalking]

Siri, I've fallen and I can't get up.

 

[greenmeanie]

Can it detect when I fall a sleep from Jeffs speech?

 

[Mefisto]

I feel bad for the Apple intern who had to be the test subject for all of those fall tests.

 

[magicschoolbus]

Apple Watch: HELP. I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!

No other tech manufacture pays attention to detail like Apple does with something like having a fall with an SOS feature. Really nice to have for the geriatric demographic who may be alone.

 

[Dorje Sylas]

I wonder how many accidental calls they made to 911 while testing the Fall sensor.

 

[convergent]

That Digital Crown is protruding more, I predict lots of damages!

To me its the worse part about the watch. Really hard to use with sweaty hands. Much prefer the way Samsung went with a rotating bezel.

 

[Val-kyrie]

Sorry, watch won't detect all falls. I slipped on stairs but was holding a hand rail. My watch arm never moved, but the rest of me sure did.

I need this for my parents and in-laws but I don’t think I could convince them to wear Apple Watches.

 

[arkitect]

The Apple Watch can now identify when you've fallen and can't get up

For the elderly and frail this could be a big thing.

 

[keysofanxiety]

Can it discern between a fall and furious masturbation? Asking for a friend…

“Calls Emergency Services automatically”

AD looking a little more nervous

 

[Gix1k]

Can detect a fall?! Lol

Elderly, bro...Rather clever

 

[ssl0408]

What do you mean lol?

It seems like a silly feature to make a big deal about.

 

[ioioos]

Will the 'fall' function order you a new screen at the same time?

 

[DeepIn2U]

Apple Watch fall detection! Yes. I’ve previously stated this was a MUST have and could help the elderly that are independent from life threatening injuries suffered as being osteoporosis!!

 

[Rogifan]

Why? The product sells me or it doesn't.

Oh come on a speaker can totally change an impression on a product.

 

[keysofanxiety]

Do you think this guy dyed his hair grey so the drapes matched the rest of him?

 

[convergent]

No other tech manufacture pays attention to detail like Apple does with something like having a fall with an SOS feature. Really nice to have for the geriatric demographic who may be alone.

True, but do you think a lot of that group of people are going to know how to figure out how to use an Apple Watch?
