I Suggest Updating Immediately: China-Market Apple Watch Finally Gets This “Lifesaving Feature”

An APPSO article republished by Guokr reports that sleep-apnea notifications have become available on supported mainland-China Apple Watches following an iOS and watchOS update. It lists Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and SE 3 among supported models. Users must update their devices, enable sleep tracking and complete setup in the iPhone Health app. The feature is intended for adults who have not already been diagnosed with sleep apnea.

The article explains that the watch uses its accelerometer to look for breathing disturbances during sleep. Assessment requires at least 10 nights of wear within a 30-day period; users can export a report to discuss with a clinician. This is a longer-term notification feature, not a real-time alarm that wakes someone during a breathing interruption, and a notification is not a medical diagnosis.

Comment | So Many Fake 400-Service Numbers Show Up in Search Results—Should Platforms Be Held Responsible?

A The Paper commentary examines misleading appliance-repair hotlines that appear prominently in search and social-platform results. It describes reporters finding numbers presented as brand after-sales services even though the operators were third-party repair businesses, including numbers already flagged as risky or disowned by brands.

The author argues that paid placement can make this impersonation particularly confusing: a consumer searching for official support may be led to an unrelated service with unclear prices and weak complaint channels. The piece calls on platforms to verify promotional claims and label third-party services, brands to publicize genuine support contacts, and telecom providers to check hotline applicants. It recommends obtaining repair contacts through a brand's official website or app. These accountability proposals are the commentary's analysis, rather than a reported court ruling against a particular platform.

Background: China's 400 numbers are business service hotlines that typically charge the receiving company rather than the caller.
