Apple Watch | Dear Apple | Apple

- Dear Mr. Cook... - Dear Tim... - Dear Mr. Cook... - Hello, Mr. Cook... - I am writing to you from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. - I am writing to you from Atlanta, Georgia. - I am a 27-year-old high school teacher. - I am a senior in high school. - I only had the

watch

for two or three weeks. - I was

watch

ing a movie with my wife in our family room. - I was having lunch at one of the spiciest restaurants in San Diego. - It was a typical summer night. I looked around the corner and a bear was staring at me. - I was doing what we call "pull and return," when I slid head first into the compactor. - I was skating on a frozen river when the ice broke. - The door closed and everything was dark. - My old friend started clutching his chest. - I was struggling to catch my breath. - I used the watch to study my pulse and it was extremely erratic.

Things escalated quickly from there. - I was getting tired and I realized I was getting hypothermic. - I go to grab my phone, but my pockets are empty. - I didn't have my phone with me. - As I was trying to decide what to do, I looked down and saw my watch. -I placed my Apple Watch on his wrist and couldn't believe what I saw. A notification for atrial fibrillation appeared. Holy Cow! - My God! - I look at my Apple Watch and my heart rate was 187 beats per minute. - I took him to the hospital where he was treated for a heart condition I didn't know he had. - Dear Apple, my dad was flying in our small plane to Vermont.

I was asleep in the back seat. I woke up when we were crashing into the treetops. The plane broke into six pieces and we were miles away from civilization in the freezing cold. Then suddenly my Apple Watch started ringing. I forgot I was wearing it. I told my grandmother that I would have to call her back and immediately called 911. - I whispered to my co-teacher, "I need to go to the emergency room right now." - They advised us to go directly to the emergency room. - I held the button and whispered: "Siri, call 911." - I called 911 and that fool started ringing, and I was smiling like a newborn baby. - The rescuers arrived in minutes. - If I hadn't had the Apple Watch, things could have been much worse. - I am very grateful. - From now on I will never leave home without it. -My doctor said: "It was his watch that saved his life." - Thank you for helping save my friend's life. - Since the cardiac event presented no other symptoms, clearly the watch was my only call to action and my only link to the excellent medical care that saved my life.

With deep gratitude, Erik. - Thank you, Hanna. - Bill. -Taryn. - Sincerely, Dr. Korn. - All the best, Shaae.
