I was driving one morning and my car alerted me that my trunk was open. I pulled over and slammed the trunk shut and my Apple Watch said it detected a fall. The hell?

Well, I've read a few hours ago that the Fold 4 was manufactured in China so... I'm confused to say the least.

Samsung closed its last phone factory in China in 2019 Google pixel 7 to be made in Vietnam No idea how accurate these are but a few places are saying these same things.

Who thinks this?

Right but if you life in a densely populated area and you're not an outdoorsy person, there isn't really a situation where you're going to need it.
That's like saying you can't plan for emergencies, so you better back that lead anti-radiation suit wherever you go. You know if you're the type of person that needs such a thing or not.

Prank calling emergency services is illegal. Apple should be held accountable for the increase in resources required to accommodate this shit storm

It would be as easy as allow to define some activities to disable the fall detection. Not a perfect solution but I would definitely welcome it.

To be fair, all of Earth is Hell in 2023. China is just a lower sphere than others.

Apple loves adding stupid bs stuff to justify the new products.
My iPhone uses a face scanner to unlock and a third of the time it can’t recognize my face and I have to enter a password anyway.
Everyday when I’m driving to or from work my gps is popping up with notifications telling me things I don’t need to know. If I left my house 5 minutes ago I’ll get a notification that I’m 5 minutes from my house.
If I connect to a Bluetooth speaker I’ll get notifications that my “headphones” are too loud and the volume is being lowered.
I miss my old iPhone and I miss being able to plug in wired headphones and not having to carry around a plastic box to keep my headphones charged or risk them falling out at work and getting dirty or lost

After I downloaded the update for nvidea, my 3080 clock speed went up to 1950 from 1800 while playing games.

And PlayStation and Xbox, as Sony and Microsoft are also Foxconn clients. HP printers, Dell computers, Kindle and Echo devices, the list goes on.
I’d wager that many if not most American households have at least one product built by Foxconn even if they own zero Apple products.

Apple factories have suicide nets.
It’s not the same thing.

Foxxcon doesn’t just manufacture iPhones.
So your tech is made in hell. Even Smart TVs. If you’re a consumer, you contribute.
This is how brands make billions, by treating humans as modern day slaves.

Batman already had this tech in smartphones back in 2008. Funny how movie reality becomes our reality often.
