Apple today said that hypertension notifications are now available for Apple Watch and iPhone users in Australia, Malaysia, Colombia, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil, and Turkey.



Introduced last September, the hypertension detection feature uses the health sensors on the Apple Watch and custom-designed algorithms to determine if a user seems to be regularly experiencing high blood pressure. If hypertension is detected over a 30-day period, the Apple Watch is able to send an alert suggesting that the user opt in to more frequent blood pressure monitoring with the guidance of a doctor.

According to Apple, hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease, impacting 1.4 billion adults globally. Hypertension does not have visible symptoms in most cases, so it can go undiagnosed.

Apple Watch owners in the countries where Apple has added support can set up hypertension alerts in the Health app.

Hypertension alerts are available with the Apple Watch Series 9 and later and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later.

Jeff Bezos’s Amazon MGM Studios is to release its feature-length documentary about Melania Trump, directed by Brett Ratner, a formerly exiled film-maker accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. The film was screened at a promotional event at the White House attended by what the Hollywood reporter described as '70 assorted VIPs', including Apple’s Tim Cook and Mike Tyson. Bezos bought the rights to the film for $40m (£30m) and spent a further $35m on a global marketing push – but so far, ticket sales are reportedly ‘soft’. It is expected to be screened in more than 100 UK cinemas

Apple surprend tout le monde en publiant une mise à jour pour un modèle d’iPhone sorti en 2013.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPad 16 years ago today, marking over one and a half decades of the company's "revolutionary" tablet.


Jobs unveiled the first-generation ‌iPad‌ at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on January 27, 2010. Designed to fill the gap between smartphones and laptops, the original ‌iPad‌ featured a 9.7-inch LED-backlit multitouch display, Apple's first custom designed chip, a 30-pin dock connector, and up to 64GB storage. With a starting price of $499, it offered users a new way to browse the web, read eBooks, watch videos, and interact with Apple's growing app ecosystem. Jobs described it as "a magical and revolutionary device."

iPad is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price. iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.

The ‌iPad‌ used a version of iOS tailored for its larger display, bringing a big-screen experience to familiar mobile apps like Safari, Mail, and Photos. It introduced the iBooks app and iBookstore as part of an effort to compete in the e-reading space dominated by Amazon's Kindle. Its design was characterized by thick black bezels, a physical home button, and a convex aluminum back. It weighed 1.5 pounds and offered 10 hours of battery life.

The initial reception to the ‌iPad‌ was mixed. While many praised its lightweight computing and media consumption experience, others questioned its necessity and potential to replace laptops.

Nevertheless, the ‌iPad‌ sold over 300,000 units on its launch day in April 2010 and one million within its first month. It catalyzed the creation of a new product category, sparking competition from rivals such as Samsung, Microsoft, and Amazon. By the end of 2010, Apple had sold over 15 million iPads, generating $9.5 billion in revenue and solidifying the device as a key pillar of the company's product lineup.

The ‌iPad‌ has since become a tentpole device for Apple, expanding into product lines including the iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro and accessories such as the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. Subsequent models introduced cameras, multitasking, different display size options, USB-C connectivity, and more. See Apple's original press release from 2010 for more information.

Transférer des fichiers entre votre Mac et votre téléphone Android, c'est souvent la galère. L'ancien Android File Transfer de Google était une horreur absolue et depuis qu'ils ont arrêté de le maintenir, y'a pas grand-chose de potable. C'est d'ailleurs pour ça que beaucoup d'utilisateurs de Mac ont également un iPhone.

Alors quand je suis tombé sur DroidDock, forcément ça m'a intrigué. C'est une app macOS qui se branche sur votre téléphone via ADB et qui vous permet de naviguer dans les fichiers comme si c'était un Finder amélioré. Vous branchez votre câble USB, vous activez le débogage USB sur votre Android et c'est parti mon kiki !

Et là où c'est pratique c'est que vous pouvez prévisualiser vos images et vidéos directement dans l'app sans avoir à les télécharger d'abord. Vous avez trois modes de vue (grille, liste ou miniatures) et le drag & drop fonctionne dans les deux sens. Vous glissez un fichier depuis votre Mac vers DroidDock, il atterrit sur votre téléphone. Et l'inverse marche aussi.

Le dev a aussi pensé à pas mal de trucs pratiques du genre si vous avez plusieurs appareils Android branchés en même temps, hé bien vous pouvez switcher de l'un à l'autre sans les déconnecter. Y'a aussi un mode sombre pour ceux qui bossent la nuit et une barre de recherche pour farfouiller dans vos dossiers. D'ailleurs si vous utilisez scrcpy pour contrôler votre Android depuis le Mac , DroidDock fait un bon complément pour la partie fichiers.

Sous le capot, ça utilise Tauri avec du Rust et React et l'app est tellement légère qu'elle fonctionnera parfaitement sur un vieux Mac. Le projet est open source sous licence MIT et vous pouvez le télécharger ici : DroidDock !
