Foxconn is ready to establish more assembly plants in India.
It only has two plants there right now, but it’ll need much more to keep up with iPhone production.
It does anticipate many challenges in the possible transition.
Foxconn looks beyond China to continue making iPhones.

As the trade war between the U.S. and China continues, affected companies are starting to put their contingency plans in place. One of those is Foxconn, better known as the main manufacturer of iPhones, and it is setting its sights on India.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Foxconn is ready to start expanding in India. It’s main base of operations is in China, but with the U.S. imposing a 15% tariff on Chinese-made models, they are looking elsewhere to bypass the trade war.

The Apple Watch has an excellent oximeter-based heart rate monitor for tracking your day and basic workouts, but it’s not perfect for more endurance or weight-based activities. For those tough workouts, you should consider an external heart rate monitor like Scosche’s Rhythm+ Monitor Armband.

Heart rate monitoring on Apple Watch comes at the expense of battery life: The smartwatch’s health sensors account for a large majority of battery drain. As such, Apple limits how often the sensor records data, even during workouts. At rest, you’ll get heart rate data every 10 minutes; during a workout, you’re likely to get recordings every 10 seconds to a minute.

The wrist-based monitor can also get tripped up if you tend to do a lot of exercises involving wrist bending or quick movement. The oximeter works by measuring the movement of your blood using light, and when you flex your wrist, you can momentarily change that circulation, leading to erroneous heart readings (If you’ve ever seen an …

Apple said it will keep computer generated transcriptions from audio recordings of Siri interactions.
These transcripts could be retained for six months.
The transcripts will be retained whether you opt in or not.
Apple this week made some big changes to how it handles Siri recordings, saying it will no longer, by default, retain audio recordings of Siri interactions, and instead let users opt in when the Siri grading program relaunches later this year.

That’s a big step toward improving user privacy, which Apple admitted it betrayed following a news story about contractors listening to Siri recordings that may include private information. But Apple won’t completely cease using your interactions with the company’s assistant.

In Apple’s new FAQ page about Siri grading, the company says it will continue to review computer-generated transcripts of audio requests, and that…
