At this price point it’s completely welcome. Folding an overpriced and underdeveloped health market into a commercially successful highly-engineered product is the best the world can ask of trillion dollar companies.

While Apple choices are sometimes dislikeable, I’m really happy that they seem to care about some social problems (accessibility, privacy) giving them so much screen time. They could just invest that time into something flashy and non-consequential and still make boatloads of money.

At least they are building a cheap option for a change, a hearing aid can cost between 500-1500 euros here. Seems like a market that's ready for disruption.
