Apple has added another potentially life-saving feature to the Apple Watch, with WWDC 2026, quietly revealing it as it's in danger of flying under the radar.

As many hope for the reveal of a folding iPhone, and complain about yet another overhaul of Liquid Glass, it was easy to miss the announcement of a new Apple Watch alert system.

With high blood pressure often being referred to as a 'silent killer', Apple is finally taking our health concerns more seriously . Apple has previously toyed with the idea of monitoring blood pressure, but now, we have a full-blown version.

Of course, this wasn't the only big reveal of WWDC, with the long-awaited Siri overhaul sticking the AI assistant in your Dynamic Island and literally embedding it at the core of your iPhone. This new and improved Siri is also getting a facelift on your Apple Watch, meaning you can take it on the go more than ever.

This more conversational Siri is able to keep a closer eye on us and help with our health worries. Hopefully, the update was worth the wait.
