The function was approved by US health Authority FDA, which is responsible for approval of medical devices. First, however, ECG version would only be delivered in USA. Apple is first provider to install such a sensor in a computer clock. The display of new version is also slightly larger and thinner. Apple Watch has been leading Smartwatch market since launch 2015.
The expectation of new, more expensive iphones has significantly increased Apple’s market value over past few months. Apple was first private company in world to be rated at stock exchange with more than a trillion dollars in early August. As a result, Apple has such a large market value as 15 largest DAX companies. Business success is mainly attributable to stable sales figures of iphones, which bring more than half of proceeds. Sales are stagnating, and Apple is only third-largest smartphone manufacturer in world after Samsung and Huawei; For this, iphones are comparatively expensive. Apple also generates revenue from app sales, music service Apple Music, and cloud business. In future, group will also focus more on video content and bring payment service Apple Pay to Germany by end of year.
