No, it is not a joke in bad taste, December 28 is past. This is real. Numerous customers have reported a strange bug in the latest Apple Watch Series 3 models. According to them, their devices undergo a spontaneous restart in healthcare environments, such as hospitals and health centers.
Many of the affected users are workers in these places, and make sure they see their watch reset every so often, turning your experience of use with the Apple Watch into a true hell. But why is this happening, and why only with the latest model released by the company?
Well, we don't know yet. Outside of hospital conditions, the watch has no such symptoms. Therefore, we can ensure that It is a failure derived from something caused in this type of place.
Some kind of interference is suspected caused by some type of medical material, possibly from some nearby and common machinery in hospitals, for which our Apple Watch Series 3 restarts over and over again, every 30-90 minutes approx.
This problem, which began to be reported at the beginning of December of last year, occurs with increasing frequency and with a greater number of consumers, so Apple is investigating what may be its cause. The Cupertino-based company opted to exchange the allegedly damaged product at some of the affected customers for a brand new one, but the problem persists.
From Apple offices, it is hoped that the bug can be fixed with a small software update, but so far it is not known if this will be possible. It is curious but, for the moment, the only "solution" that the users of these affected devices have obtained from the North American company is to use their watch in airplane mode, while they remain in healthcare environments.
