Conan O’Brien introduces the new, $260 Apple Pocket Watch

Introducing Apple Pocketwatch
If the biggest hurdle for Apple with the Apple Watch is getting people to once again wear a watch everyday, then persuading us to carry a pocket watch could be an even harder task, but that hasn’t put Conan O’Brien off. He has come up with the Apple Pocket Watch, which at less than half the price of the average Apple Watch, and all the functionality of an iPhone, could be quite a success.

Getting one is much easier than enduring the inevitable mad scramble for the Apple Watch too, because all you need to do is pack up your iPhone, and send it along with $260 to O’Brien, who will return your beautiful new Apple Pocket Watch within an unspecified amount of time.

Well, we say beautiful, but because this is a Conan O’Brien product, a few corners have been cut in the quest for profit. What you get is, well, take a look at the video to see the Apple Pocket Watch in all its dubious glory.

If you’re not convinced by the Apple Pocket Watch — which is probably a good thing — and are hankering after the actual Apple Watch, you haven’t got long to wait. Pre-orders begin on April 10, two weeks before it goes on sale in a few countries around the world. Prices start at $350 and go all the way up to a shocking $17,000.

You can learn all about the Apple Watch here, and find out what it’s like to wear the exciting new device here.

Your Apple Watch’s SpO2 sensor might be a lot better than you thought
Apple Watch Series 7 blood oxygen levels data.

The Apple Watch's SpO2 sensor that allows wearers to measure their blood oxygen levels was impressive when it first debuted, but it may be even more accurate than initially marketed.

According to a recent study, the Apple Watch's blood oxygen reader is comparable to medical-grade pulse oximeters. Although Apple Watches shouldn't be used in lieu of official medical devices, it's nice to know that the readings they're displaying are accurate enough to be reliable.

Taken as a whole, the Apple Watch is an impressive piece of technology. It remains one of the best smartwatches out there, and it’s by far the most practical option for iPhone owners.

Each year, the Apple Watch gains small improvements that Apple undoubtedly hopes will be enough to draw new customers into the fold. However, these year-over-year improvements aren’t enough for most current Apple Watch owners to justify upgrading to a newer model.

Apple Watch Series 7 teardown reveals new display tech and a slightly bigger battery
apple watch series 7 teardown reveal ifixit 1

The Apple Watch Series 7 represents one of the biggest design changes Apple has made in generations. It has a 20% larger display in almost the same dimensions, which was accomplished by slimming down the bezels. Still, it shares a lot of features with the Watch Series 6 -- similar design, same processor, and more. However, a teardown by iFixit has revealed some important changes under the hood that Apple chose not to reveal.

Former Apple engineers helped iFixit tear down the Watch Series 7. Once opened, the team found that Series 7 is missing the diagnostic port. Apple now uses a 60Ghz high-frequency wireless interface instead, perhaps hinting at a similar portless future for the iPhone. The wireless module, along with the proprietary dock, allows Apple to do the same diagnostics without a physical port, says the report. The removal of the diagnostic port is believed to have helped Apple to certify the Watch Series 7 for IP6X dust protection.
