Is the reason for an underwhelming update related to supply chain issues? It seems like such a lackluster update compared to all the rumors.
I'm looking at -no joke- 100 week lead times on an ARM cortex m4 we have in an existing product.
On one hand, I hope that cheap landfill-express electronics take a hit.
On the other hand, I’m well aware they will manage somehow and it’s the good stuff that will be hard to find/make.
For one thing I am certain, we absolutely have not seen the height of the supply shortage bullwhip. It’s going to get worse.
It's about as trustworthy as rolling a dice and multiplying the eyes
I'd definitely buy it if it were possible though... But it's not, you can only get pulse/heartbeat through that.
Quoting from the article (emphasis mine): [1]
> As opposed to the common methods that measure blood pressure using an inflatable cuff wrapped around the upper arm, Apple's system measures the speed of the wave of a heartbeat through a user's arteries using sensors. The Apple Watch would then show a user how their blood pressure is trending, but would not be able to provide a baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement, leading some Apple employees have to raise questions with managers over the usefulness of the feature.
