Mais à la fin, l’une des protagonistes dégaine son iPhone et lance l’app éponyme d’Apple. Celle-ci recense toutes les mesures issues notamment de l’Apple Watch : capteur de fréquence cardiaque, thermomètre, oxymètre sanguin… On l’aura deviné après la lecture de cette vidéo ; Apple se permet ici un un clin d’œil évident aux autres marques de smartphones qui semblent parfois [...]
