Yesterday, Apple unveiled its new AirPods, Apple Watches, and iPhones. With its latest products, the company introduced -like features under the Apple Intelligence branding. It followed Samsung in bringing the Sleep Apnea Detection feature to the Apple Watch. Several already have this feature.

So, it remains to be seen which method is more accurate and reliable.
