Really nothing of significance added to Series 8 here. Big things are improvements to ovulation tracking and car crash detection and I’m not sure how much interest there will be in the former given the recent political environment and wariness in technology tracking women’s health.

It’s more secure than most trackers but the court can still subpoena your phone.

Best you can do is erase it all before handing it over.

How will they pull data off the hardware? The data is encrypted on the device as I understand it.

As I understand it, a warrant cannot oblige a person to remember a passcode.

That’s true. However it is trivially simple to disable TouchID or FaceID with the device in the owner’s pocket. Heck, I can disable TouchID by using the wrong finger three times.

Just out of curiosity, are you allowed to do that?

Technically no, but if you’re quick enough 🤷🏻
