The apple watch 4 seems to be promising with the new edge to edge display and the ECG.
Since I hate marketing hyperbole, I would like to clarify certain claims:
Apple watch’s ECG is technically just a rhythm strip, not a ECG. At most it can be classified as 1 lead ECG ( Normal ECG has 12 leads). It monitors the heart pulse and if there is irregularity, it reports it. The irregularity can be due to anxiety and emotion like watching India lose match or seeing petrol price at petrol bunk! Thus it need not be due to genuine AFib (Atrial Fibrillation).
In fact, FDA clearance certificate clearly states the following:
In other words, notification of AFib doesn’t mean you have AFib and absence of AFib notification doesn’t mean you don’t have AFib!!
It is also worth noting that the feature will be available only in US by this month end. There is no news of availability of this feature for other countries.
Lastly, this is not the first wearable AFib monitor to be cleared by FDA as claimed by Apple![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
. Alivecor’s Kardia Band was cleared years ago by FDA and has been selling for years now. In fact, it is a popular Apple watch accessory.

Waiting for the iOS12 update,
with this update, Google Maps and Waze will come to Apple CarPlay.
The Dual Sim in I-phone will consist of 1 Nano Sim & 1 Digital E-sim( i guess similar to CDMA handsets)

eSIM is embedded SIM. It is basically a rewritable chip in the phone or IOT device. The telecom operators can supply provisioning profile details over the air through an app or by QR code. So unlike CDMA where phone number is locked to the phone, you can have multiple telecom operator numbers in eSIM and you can select which number should be active by selecting corresponding profile.
In India only Jio and Airtel have eSIM provisioning as of now. There are only 10 countries which support eSIM at present. Proliferation of eSIM is good as it will give tremendous boost to connected IOT devices and connected cars.

I too upgraded my iPhone SE and mom's iPhone X to iOS 12.Performance of both phones has been improved and there is no lag after updating my SE to iOS 12.
Now,thinking to source an iPhone XS or iPhone 8 Plus for myself and my dad,who is using Oneplus 3 since last 2 years.My brother is willing to send me an iPhone XS from Canada along with insurance.My question is,does the international version(Canada and USA version)iPhone XS work with Indian sim though it has 2 sims now?If not,I'll source an iPhone 8 Plus.
