They’re a lot more affordable than most medical devices. The fact they’re mass produced to the numbers they are likely helps in making them more affordable. Classifying them as medical devices for certain diseases should be considered if they can reduce the costs of other treatments and lead to better lifestyles for patients.

Not really sure what you’re trying to say in relation to the post or what I said. I get the sentiment but it seems unrelated

It's a sensor, that's all.
It's like wearing a stethoscope and claiming that it's saving your life.

>Assuming you didn't actually read the article and aren't actually in the legal profession.
I read the article. I don't have to be a legal expert or any other kind of expert to express my opinion, which is what I did. What's the point in you even stating this unless you're a legal expert yourself because you're rendering your own opinion here as well.
>A study, conducted by researchers, says "hey we may be able to use this to do this!"
A study was conducted using their watch as a data collection tool and nothing else. They were probably paid for the brand mention. Basically they used the watch as a sensor, that's all. A different brand watch could be used in exactly the same way or perhaps some actual medical sensors so there's nothing special about that claim, it's simply branding.
>Not Apple saying "use our watch to treat sickle cell!" at all. It's researchers saying the device may assist with early warning signs.
I didn't say Apple claimed anything. I said that claims of this thing being medically beneficial were spurious and possibly legally actionable.

You are simply incorrect. There is more than enough evidence of medical benefits to having an Apple Watch.

> According to a study conducted by researchers at Duke University's Day Hospital (via MyHealthyApple), the Apple Watch could help treat vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), a key complication caused by sickle cell disease that often hospitalizes patients due to severe pain. The research indicates that machine learning using the Apple Watch's collected health data can discover trends to predict pain among people with sickle cell disease, which could provide an early warning signal and enable treatment via painkillers and saline hydration before it becomes more severe.

Fewer assumptions than what it would take to produce any meaningful quantities of phosgene gas.

I'm just tired of constantly having to read these edgy shit takes.
"Defend your cult" give me a break. I'm not defending anything and if you would read you'd see that. Every company involved in child labor is awful, including Apple.
Just because Apple claims they are child labor free (which btw I'm not even sure if they claim they are, would be helpful if you'd provide a source) doesn't make everyone else less bad for doing it.
And the comparison with alt-right fox news is just offensive lol. But hey, free karma.
Simping for any company that does horrible stuff is dumb. That's simping for Apple, but also just as much simping for Google.

Don't even need to go midrange Android. You could just grab an older iPhone model and be fine too.
