Apple has very explicitly stated in very clear terms that the health app does not share data with other apps or devices unless you give permission. And as someone who has given that permission (twice, once to give a meal tracker write permission and once to link to my doctors office’s application for read and write) it’s for every application. It’s not a “hey you need to let everyone have access or no one”. You can get fairly granular.

There’s always the possibility of lying but usually when a company goes that hard on saying the same thing is so many different ways it’s legit. They don’t commit like that unless they know they won’t get in trouble. Those kinds of statements could open them to false advertising claims if it got out they were taking your health data.

Here’s a link to their privacy document which reviewed a good bit of info: https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/Health_Privacy_White_Paper_May_2023.pdf

Except you can’t. People can deactivate this for each contact in their address book really easily. You can even create your own for each person and have that override theirs on your own phone.

I’m not sure about a formula but you can use Visual Basic to make a random number generator for a bunch of rolls and place those values in an array and then place the array in the appropriate cells.

I can’t tell you exactly how to do
This as I haven’t used excel or Visual Basic in a while and never actually linked them together myself. I don’t know if you can even do it for free as I think visual studio costs money, though that may show how long I’ve been away from that side.

I can say you can also do the same as what I describe above using Google Sheets and App Scripts in probably 20 lines of code. I am more fluent with those and I think it would be pretty easy even if you don’t know how to code.

Two key points that most people seem to be missing.

First, it’s a pro. This implies, based on naming schemes of other devices, there will be a cheaper model or maybe multiple in the future.

Second, this is absolutely an enterprise device. This device can help with productivity in work environments and such and is being marketed mainly towards businesses for employee use. If a business uses apple products and is interested in VR this is the product they will buy because they know it will be easy to set up and integrate seamlessly. Ya, it’s got some games and entertainment, but so do MacBooks and iPads which are also very successful for business use. But the primary market will be businesses buying this for employees that do a lot of travel where they can’t always have a laptop or, as AR improves, specialized fields where the AR can help/assist the user. That last one is interesting cause everyone has been saying it can be done but technology needs to catch up. Well with this it’s caught up. Just waiting on developers.

There are rumors of the Switch getting a successor next year. My biggest wish is for it to be compatible with the current games, included digital purchases. Honestly, if I can import my digital library and saves I’m already sold on a switch successor
