⚙️ Firmware & Updates
Apple‘s iOS 27 is adding automated perimenopause detection to the Health app with symptom pattern alerts—it matters because women 40+ finally get native tracking for a phase that’s been relegated to specialty apps, and it signals that mainstream health platforms now see this as essential.
Marty’s Take:
Native Health app integration is a forcing function, but Apple can’t close the hardware gap: no Apple Watch model measures hormone fluctuations directly, so what users get is still self-reported symptom logging dressed up with automation. Fitness trackers with continuous skin temperature sensors—Oura Ring Gen 4, Garmin Venu 3—still hold a defensible physiological edge that software intelligence alone can’t replicate.
