Adobe premiere pro cc 2019 13 1 1. Following the release of iOS 13.6, Apple today released watchOS 6.2.8 for Apple Watch users. The update adds support for the Car Key feature and it also enables ECG to three more countries.
With Car Key, drivers can replace physical keys with their iPhone. As Apple demonstrated during the WWDC 2020 keynote, you can simply hold your iPhone close to the car's door handle to unlock it using NFC technology. This feature also works with the Apple Watch Series 5 running watchOS 6.2.8.
watchOS 6.2 also brings the ECG app to three new countries: Bahrain, Brazil, and South Africa. Irregular heart rhythm notifications are also now available in those three countries.
The ECG application allows users to take an electrocardiogram, measuring the electrical pulses of your heart. Irregular heart rate notifications do not require an active ECG to be taken. The watch will analyze heart rate readings continuously in the background and trigger an alert if something seems off.
You can read the full release notes below:
watchOS 6.2.8 includes new features and improvements:
- Adds support for digital car keys for Apple Watch Series 5
- ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4 or later now available in Bahrain, Brazil, and South Africa
- Irregular heart rhythm notifications now available in Bahrain, Brazil, and South Africa
Some features may not be available for all regions or on all Apple devices. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit this website: https://support.apple.com/HT201222

Apple is said to have several new hardware announcements planned for this spring, including the low-cost iPhone 9/iPhone SE 2 as well as new iPad Pro models. One of the questions that remains, however, is whether or not Apple will hold a March keynote to announce these products.
Reports indicate that Apple will announce the low-cost iPhone 9 next month, alongside likely iPad Pro updates. New MacBook hardware has also been rumored, as Apple is expected to continue to move away from the butterfly keyboard design. Substance designer 2019 3 31.
Right now, one report has suggested Apple will hold a press event on Tuesday, March 31. As we said at the time, however, that report should be treated with some skepticism given the source.
There's plenty of precedent for a March Apple keynote this year. The company has held events during the last week of March for the past two years. In 2018, the event focused on the iPad and education initiatives. Last year, Apple dedicated its March gathering to Services, announcing Apple News+, Apple Arcade, Apple Card, and Apple TV+.

But Apple also isn't afraid to release new hardware through press releases. In March of 2019, Apple dedicated an entire week to hardware announcements via press releases. The new iPad mini and iPad Air were announced that week, alongside new AirPods and more powerful iMac hardware.
Then, in the fall, Apple made more big hardware announcements without an event, despite quite a bit of speculation around an October keynote. Both the 16-inch MacBook Pro and AirPods Pro were announced via press releases, again signaling that Apple doesn't always need to hold a media event to announce new products.
The press release strategy has been popular for Apple. Staggering announcements throughout the week creates a constant sense of excitement, especially when you don't exactly know when a press release announcing a new product might drop. Apple also benefits from a week's worth of mainstream media coverage, rather than a single day.

So, the question we pose today is: should Apple hold a spring event this year or make all of its announcements via press releases?
