Plus, why would Apple care if they can just keep outsourcing the problem to web developers for free?

Uhh yeah, but the point was that a $50 knock off android isn't advertising itself as "slavery-free".

With a mobile browser SDK that's dated at least a decade. You think Apple can afford to modernize?

Apple's Safari SDK. Not even once.

An Apple Watch isn't a medical device and they know it.
Any claim of medical help using an Apple Watch is spurious and possibly legally actionable.

Only Apple has gone out of its way to say they are child labor free, and yet for three years they were told about the cobalt mines.
But, you can defend your cult, it's like fox news. Facts don't matter, you can't educate stupid.

It could help. And then again it couldn't.

Over the gate? Because the gate was locked. I dropped it over the gate. Not tossed

Thank you. I've read comments on r/iphone that the 13 Pro and 14 Pro oversharpen photos - have you found this to be true?

Skip this generation. Just buy a 3080.

I just hope such useful medical technology doesn't remain permanently anchored to a platform that many can't afford and insurance is unlikely to cover (iPhone + Apple Watch or comparable Android/Samsung implementations).
Edit: updated to include other mobile platforms which have/are probably developing similar functionality.

Do you know that for a fact or did you assume it as a devil’s advocate?
…or are you defending products that don’t require X expense to break even or profit?

How about focusing on making air clean instead of creating technology to check our micro local air pollution? Just sayin

The difference is, Apple goes out there and says they don't use child labor. For two and a half years now, they have been found to be lying.

Assuming it's no longer considered experimental, I would expect private insurance and/or Medicare/Medicaid to provide coverage for that, even if it is more expensive.
The problem with asking private or public insurance to cover an iPhone/Apple Watch or comparable Android/Samsung implementation is that those devices are not limited to only the "fit for covered purpose" functionality.
