Apple Watch 4 - ECG Australia

Hi


Can you please tell me if and or when the ECG function is avaliable in Australia.


And if it is not avaliable, why Apple is falsely advertising this feature in Australia?

I have just trolled the site and could not find anything to say that this feature was not working in Australia

this leaves them open to leagal problems in Australia

No. Apple has made no mention of any release dates for any country.


Since they rely on approval by the local government agency that regulates medical devices, specific dates of approval may be hard to come by.


Apple is not actually promoting the ECG in any way in Australia. In fact the Australian website for the Apple Watch doesn’t even mention the ECG app at all.
