Videos show how Apple Watch saves lives; new update to watchOS 5.1.2 could save more
We've passed along stories about people who had their lives saved thanks to the heart rate monitor on their Apple Watch. Now, Apple is creating a series of promotional videos based on similar real life testimonials. Called Real Stories, Apple has released two of these videos today. One, which runs for more than four and a half minutes, reveals the stories from several survivors as they discuss the moments when their Apple Watch alerted them to a problem. Some of these stories are quite harrowing.
In a related note, Apple today released watchOS 5.1.2. The update activates the ECG feature found on the Series 4 version of the watch, which will look for abnormal heart rhythms. New complications that come with the update include Mail, Messages, Home, Maps, Apple News, Find My Friends, Phone, and Remote. To update your watch, go to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and go to General > Software Update. The battery on the Apple Watch must be charged to at least 50% and the device itself must be on the charger, and within close range to the iPhone.
