This MacVoices Live! session focused on two topics. The first was the FDA approval of Apple AirPods as OTC hearing aids, and the Apple Watch’s ability to diagnose sleep apnea. While neither will replace professional devices and services, they can open improved health to many. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio, and Web Bixby share thoughts and experiences on the importance of these approvals. Then, the panel discusses their first experiences with macOS Sequoia and whether you should upgrade or wait. 1Password Extended Access Management Today’s MacVoices is supported by 1Password and their new 1Password Extended Access Management.
