Apple Watch Ultra 4 · Reported Feature

Blood pressure monitoring, now at the FDA

Apple Watch Ultra 4 is reportedly getting a high blood pressure notification feature, and Apple's already submitted it to the FDA for review, so this isn't vaporware, it's a product waiting on a regulatory green light. Blood pressure is one of the most common unmanaged health risks in the US, and a wrist-based alert system would put that detection on tens of millions of people who'd never otherwise think to check. No public release date yet; the FDA moves on its own schedule.
