Apple's watchOS 11 is rooftop sex videosnow available for download, brining sleep apnea notifications to users for the first time.
The publicly available version of watchOS 11 comes after several beta variants, with most of the new features focusing on health and fitness.
Perhaps the most interesting among them is sleep apnea detection, a feature that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved for Apple, and which the company announced at its Sept. 9 event. Apple says it uses the Watch's accelerometer to detect small movements at the wrist during sleep, which are associated with interruptions in normal respiratory patterns (the metric Apple is using for this is called Breathing Disturbances). Apple then uses this data to notify the user if it identifies signs of sleep apnea.
