Apple just pushed iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1 — and Blood Oxygen Monitoring is back in the U.S.! After the Masimo patent dispute, Apple’s found a clever workaround: your watch takes the readings but your iPhone does the processing. You’ll find your results in the Health app. It’s not the old system, but it’s better than nothing.
Apple is reactivating the Blood Oxygen feature for US users of the Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2. The twist? Measurements now run through your paired iPhone, with results showing up in the Health app. If you already had the feature, nothing changes. Updates drop today with iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1.
vivo just dropped a teaser for its Vision MR headset – and yeah, it looks a lot like Apple’s Vision Pro. Slick UI, AI features, hand tracking… but only in China for now, and only in stores. Battery life & comfort? Still a mystery.
Apple Watch users in the US are finally getting blood oxygen monitoring back — but with a twist. After a legal battle with Masimo forced Apple to disable the feature last year, it’s returning via a clever workaround: your paired iPhone will now process the readings instead of the watch. The update applies to Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 sold in the US, bringing Apple closer to Samsung’s health tracking game, though it’s a bit less convenient than before.
Samsung’s diving into the AI eyewear game, with its first smart glasses expected in 2026. Think Ray-Ban Meta style but loaded with Samsung tech—mic, speakers, camera, and an AI assistant for calls, texts, and media. Rumors say Google Gemini AI could make them even smarter. The next big step after smartphones?
HTC is stepping into the smart glasses game with the Vive Eagle — sleek, lightweight, and loaded with tech. You get a 12MP ultra-wide camera, real-time AI translation in 13 languages, open-ear stereo speakers, and up to 36 hours standby. Powered by Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1, they’re water and dust resistant, charge super fast, and come in four translucent colors. Priced at about $521 in Taiwan, with global release still unannounced.
Apple just found a way to bring blood oxygen tracking back to U.S. Apple Watch users — even after the ITC ban. Update your iPhone and Watch, and the data’s processed on your phone instead of the watch. Not perfect, but it works — and it’s got patent trolls fuming.
Apple’s Vision Pro 2 is coming late 2025 with the new M5 chip, promising faster performance, better battery life, and cooler temps. Same chunky design though, so it’s more evolution than revolution.
Samsung is making big moves in wearable tech with display-free smart glasses and an AR headset set to launch in 2026. These devices are designed for a wide audience, offering smart features without the price tag of larger headsets. Will they be enough to take on Apple and Meta? We’ll have to wait and see!
