This strategic move introduces the 'Hearing Test and Hearing Aid' functionalities on AirPods Pro 2 along with 'sleep apnea notifications' on Apple Watch to users in Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Apple’s approach to integrating advanced health capabilities continues a pattern of high-profile initiatives under Cook’s leadership, reflecting the same forward-thinking vision seen when he championed cultural ventures such as the F1 movie featuring Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton. Moreover, Apple’s focus on global well-being is consistent with Cook’s emphasis on social responsibility, most notably demonstrated during the company’s active support for Texas flood relief efforts. As Apple broadens its suite of offerings in health and beyond, industry analysts are watching closely to gauge the broader impact of these moves on the company’s public profile and technological influence.
