Apple Watches are increasingly being used by parents for their children, particularly since the introduction of Family Setup in 2020, despite growing concerns and school bans on smart devices, according to multiple sources. The wearable technology offers a convenient compromise for parental communication and safety, as highlighted by its features and Apple's responsiveness to security issues.
One parent, after a frightening experience with their child at a playground, decided to equip their child with an Apple Watch. The parent, who was only 500 feet away, found themselves unable to be reached when their child needed them. This prompted the decision to use the Apple Watch for communication and safety.
The Apple Watch is one of the company's most versatile products, used for various purposes, including texting, style, and fitness tracking. The Family Setup feature allows parents to manage and monitor their children's devices.
This week's tech news, compiled from various sources, also highlighted other tech deals, including the Shokz OpenFit Air earbuds, Kobo Clara Colour, and Samsung SmartTag 2 trackers. Microsoft is updating Secure Boot certificates, while Google is testing YouTube Music changes.
