Even in hospitals body temperature is not checked with a rectal thermometer or one you clamp in your arm pit any more, usually they use a forehead or ear thermometer The new Apple Watch has two temperature sensors, one is on the bottom of the watch against the skin of your arm and one is somewhere on the top which checks your surround temperature and then Apple uses some algorithm they developed to calculate body temperature. As I already pointed out, they didn't mention at all this can be used for determining fever and such, but I guess it's enough to detect changes in body temperature which they say may help women to determine when Ovulation occurs.

That would be a bad thing. 😊 Mr. Ed From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2022 3:35 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: First thoughts on Apple Watch series 8 and iPhone 14 The Apple Watch 8 has some good new features with crash detection and the build-in body temperature sensor, but from what they said during the event that temperature sensor seems to be exclusively used for cycle tracking and may help women who are wanting to get pregnant, they did not say you could simply use it to measure your body temperature as you can with a Withings Thermo or other body temperature thermometer to see if you have a fever or not. T He Apple Watch 8 Ultra sounds pretty cool and if I did more scuba diving than I currently do once every couple of years when I go to the Philippines I might be tempted to see how accessible it is as a dive computer; but it's definitely an impressive watch. The iPhone 14 has the same A15 chip as the iPhone 13 although they didn't say it in so many words; I think that is the first time Apple released a new iPhone and they kept using the same chip as in the one from the year before. The iPhone 14 Pro gets the latest A16 chip which makes the new camera system and always-on display possible. I thought it was nice to see that Apple included the new emergency SOS via satellite on both phones and I was definitely surprised when they said it was going to be free for the next 2 years. This would indicate, however, that ultimately it will be a paid service and of course let's not forget that it is only available for the United States and Canada at that point. For once Canada is getting something at launch which was not always the case (Apple New, Apple Pay and other features are examples where it took a while for Canada to get it). Crash detection is also part of all iPhone 14 models so now if you are driving with somebody and you have a crash (let's hope it will never happen) you may get help quicker. As expected the Mini is gone and replaced with the 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Plus. Storage still tops out at 1 Tb so no 2 Tb phone as was rumoured. Also, in the United States (not sure about Canada) all iPhone 14 models will now no longer have a SIM tray, it is e-SIM only from now on. Apart from that this is pretty much it. Anybody who has an iPhone 13 or 13 Pro has in my opinion very little reason to upgrade unless you spend considerable time out of cell service and may want the added peace of mind the emergency SOS via satellite offers; you can also share your location via Find My by satellite, but I haven't quite figured out if you can simply send text messages to somebody else, but I don't think so. If you have dedicated devices like Garmin's Inreach or a Zoleo satellite messenger which of course also requires you to subscribe to one of their plans, you can text anybody and receive text replies from anybody and you don't have to make a big production of pointing your iPhone to where the satellite is. An Inreach or Zoleo in fact can be in your backpack's top pocket and it works just fine and none of these devices have an external antenna which during the presentation Apple hinted would be required. Anyways, the satellite SOS is definitely a good start and once again something new and innovative Apple has introduced and I would bet money on it that within the next year or so Android phones will be released which also have this. What surprised me was that Apple seems to have set u p their own centre for this, but that is probably the only way they can offer this for free and they also didn't say which satellite network they use for this, i.e. Iridium or Globalstar. Will I upgrade from my iPhone 11? I honestly haven't decided, but if I do it would definitely be to a 14 Pro because then at least I would also gain the LiDAR feature. As for the Apple Watch I think I'll stick with my sixth Gen watch, it doesn't have blood oxygen or the new temperature sensor, but unless I experience what Arnold Schwarzenegger did in "Junior" I doubt I'll be pregnant any time soon. In any case, I'll wait to see if my provider wants to offer me a deal I can't refuse, Telus already sent me a message yesterday telling me that I am on their priority list and will get a call in case I want to preorder the new iPhone although even if I decide to upgrade I would probably rather buy it outright. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
