cool new ios26 feature in the health app: sleep scores.
Discussion
Unfortunately, they are based on *very* simplistic data. The number just represents how well you hit your own goal (bedtime, duration and number of wakeups). Doesn't take any actual health data into consideration.
That's some very personal and identifying data. I wonder where it's going and what they're using it for.
apple is pretty good with privacy when it comes to health data. its local to the device
until you read in the news that your data was either "hacked" or directly used to monitor you.
worst case, they extract your data and you dont know about it. and then you wonder why you are rejected by insurance or credit companies? ;-)
fyi, this happened already in the past and i am sure that thr future will rhyme
has there ever been a case of apple mass leaking user data? seems like that could only happen if the data wasn't local to device and encrypted by device keys
it depends on your definition of "leak" (law, purpose) and "apple" (vs subcontractors).
Can you verify that that's the case by auditing the source code? Or are you trusting their words alone?
just from their docs and empirical tests. i lost all of my health data when my watch broke and didn't have a backup.
don’t really trust it… do we really need to track sleep on an app?! it’s healthiest to keep phones out of the bedroom, right?
lol this scares me
I might be deaf soon 😹
