While the Apple Watch was not originally created to save lives, over the years some of the health-related features on the device have sent out timely warnings allowing users to get to the doctor or the hospital before it was too late. In other situations, the Apple Watch on a person’s wrist notified emergency services or first responders, and a timely rescue was made. If you recall, when Apple was planning to launch the Apple Watch in April 2015, the tech giant was looking at the device as a piece of luxury jewelry.Apple has released a couple of new television…

Retailers in China have slashed the price of the iPhone 15 in hopes of boosting demand, reports Bloomberg. Since its release, the iPhone 15 family has been struggling in China. The deflating Chinese economy, the ban on the use of the iPhone in government agencies and state-backed companies, and the resurgence of Huawei are the primary reasons why Apple’s latest phones aren’t doing well in the world’s largest smartphone market. Chinese retailer Tmall, owned by Alibaba Group, has discounted the iPhone 15 Pro Max by $180 — $60 more than the price drop offered last year during the same period. Popular retailer JD.com is also running…
