Apple's new hypertension feature on the Apple Watch (Series 11, Ultra 3, and rolled out to Series 9, 10, Ultra 2) adds passive, background monitoring of blood pressure signs using the optical heart sensor. Through a custom algorithm, the watch estimates blood pressure without displaying exact numbers or enabling spot checks. Over a rolling 30-day period, the device looks for signs of potential hypertension and can trigger on-screen alerts if something seems off. When alerted, users are advised to take daily cuff-based readings with a traditional monitor and log them in the Health app on iPhone. These readings help inform a professional check-up. The feature is not a replacement for a cuff monitor, but a screening aid to flag possible issues for further evaluation.

In a provocative move, the company says it runs a daily onboarding roulette: randomly deleting an engineer’s Graphite account at 9 a.m., along with tokens, filters, and assets, to test the process. Co-founder and CTO Greg Foster says the method quickly reveals friction and prompts fixes, noting that across the Eng–product–design team, an individual is deleted about once a month on average but a daily hit flags issues faster. Critics argue the tactic risks undermining trust and productivity. Graphite reports the approach has surfaced dozens of bugs and built team empathy toward users while sparking broader debate about ethical testing in startups.
