Apple Watch Judges Your Blood Pressure, Nosy AF

Starting September 15, Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and beyond will unexpectedly become your highest blood pressure tattletale with watchOS 26. Apple, via spokesperson Zaina Khachadourian, proudly announced FDA approval for their hypertension notification feature that stalks your blood vessels’ reactions to each heartbeat using an optical heart sensor and a 30-day data-creep fest before blowing the whistle. Available in 150+ countries, this update coincides with the launch of Apple’s glitzy new Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 models. Because who wouldn’t want their wrist to lecture them on vascular drama worldwide?
