The ending to yesterday’s Vikings and Saints game was beyond thrilling and nothing short of an emotional roller coaster.

KardiaBand uses a neural network and the Apple Watch to detect abnormal heart rate.

While insomnia gets most of the attention when it comes to widespread sleep issues, sleep apnea is just as serious a problem and can have serious medical side effects. Sleep apnea affects one in 15 Americans, or about 18 million people in the U.S. alone. Sleep apnea can cause a wide range of unwanted health problems including headaches, depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, or or even heart attacks or heart failure.

Apple Inc. is planning to release a version of its smartwatch later this year that can connect directly to cellular networks, a move designed to reduce the device’s reliance on the iPhone, people familiar with the matter said.

Time for some peace and quiet.

A new report from market intelligence firm IDC shows Apple Watch sales have dropped 55% since the product was launched in early 2015. The watch debuted to a backlog of orders and 3.6 million units were shipped in its first three months on the market. But sales plummeted to just 1.6 million in the latest quarter, according to IDC. That's in spite of a price discount. Apple it set to deliver an updated operating system for its smartwatch this fall -- called watchOS 3 -- which promises new features and improved performance. It's widely expected to also introduce a redesigned "Apple Watch 2" in the autumn.

It took me nine months to realise it, but the only useful thing about Apple’s £479 smartwatch was the weather notifications. Towards the end of May, I took off the Apple Watch I’d been wearing for nine months. I’ll never put it on again. I’d been wearing the £479 38mm Apple Watch with a sapphire screen, stainless steel shell and white sport band – something I genuinely appreciated as an article of jewellery – since we bought it at the launch in April last year.

With a 520 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, the Apple Watch packs a lot of computing horsepower into a very small package. On paper, its processor alone is about twenty-five times faster than the average 386, and 512 MB was the size of a hard drive in the mid nineties, not memory. As a result, I was feeling confident that the Apple Watch had the ability to run one of the most revered desktop operating systems Redmond has ever produced.

Apple reports the slowest growth in iPhone sales since the product's 2007 launch and warns sales will decline for the first time later this year.

A few weeks after purchasing an Apple Watch, Wil Forrest smelled a problem. Mr. Forrest, a manager at Freebirds World Burrito in Thousand Oaks, Calif., was cutting meat when the timer on his watch started buzzing and beeping. With his hands covered in meat juices, Mr. Forrest sniffed out a solution: He silenced the alarm with his nose.

The Apple Watch is "showing signs of life" heading into the holiday shopping season, according to channel-checks by FBR Capital Market's analyst Daniel Ives. With Black Friday underway and a continued shopping fervor still ahead, Ives writes in a note to investors this morning that observations at various Apple store as well as Target and Best Buy show customer interest — and willingness to shell out at least $349 for the cheapest version of the watch — ramping up.

More than a year ago now, Apple Inc., the world’s most valuable company, announced the Apple Watch—the biggest addition to its product line since the iPhone nearly a decade earlier. In our poll of 101 tech-industry leaders, we asked: So, uh, do you have one? Nearly everyone responded to this question, and for such a tech-savvy audience, their reply does not look good for Apple. Exactly 70 percent of respondents said they did not own a Watch.

I was pretty giddy when Apple revealed 3D Touch at their September event. In a past work-life, I was working with TouchCo’s developer kit at around the same time that Roger Linn was experimenting with the ideas that would become the Linnstrument. TouchCo got bought, my project morphed from hardware to software as the company turned into Zya, and I moved onto other things, putting the interest and ambition in gesture control on the backburner.

If you're someone who opens Google Maps on your iPhone every day, you'll be glad to hear that getting directions on Apple Watch no longer requires using Apple's own app. Today Google rolled out an update for its iOS Maps app that adds a companion app for your wrist. And while choice is always good, Google seems to have put in a pretty minimal amount of effort for this first release. Driving directions require you to...

Apple has delayed the release of watchOS 2, which was expected to be available today to owners of the Apple Watch. “We have discovered a bug in development of watchOS 2 that is taking a bit longer to fix than we expected,” an Apple spokesperson told TechCrunch. “We will not release watchOS 2 today but will shortly.” Given that watchOS 2 is a high profile release for Apple, a relatively important system must have been affected.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is reexamining one of the key patents in the battle between Apple and Samsung. Specifically, it is claiming that design patent D618677 — essentially the front of the iPhone 3G — was not sufficiently described by Apple. The decision could affect the size of the damages that Samsung is supposed to pay Apple, but a final number won't be determined for a while as the case is still with the courts awaiting a third trial.

U.S. watch sales fell the most in seven years in June, one of the first signs Apple Inc.’s watch is eroding demand for traditional timepieces. Retailers sold $375 million of watches during the month, 11 percent less than in June 2014, according to data from NPD Group.
