Siri can now help users access and log their Health app data

watchOS 10.2, iOS 17.2, and iPadOS 17.2 are available today, allowing Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, iPhone, and iPad¹ users to conveniently access and log their Health app data using Siri.

With the all-new S9 SiP, Apple’s most powerful watch chip yet, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can now process Siri requests on device. On-device processing — also available on iPhone and iPad — means users’ Health app data never leaves their device to complete a Siri request, helping protect user privacy.

Siri can answer requests related to over 20 Health app data types stored on Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad.

For example, users can now ask:

“Siri…”

“How does my Move ring look today?”
“Did I close my Exercise ring?”
“What’s my step count?”
“How far have I walked this week?”
“How far did I bike yesterday?”
“What’s my heart rate?”
“What’s my blood oxygen?”
“How much did I sleep last night?”
“How much have I slept this week?”
“What’s my blood glucose level?”²
“What was my blood pressure yesterday?”²

Users can also ask Siri to log:

“Siri…”

“I took my 8 a.m. medications.”³
“Log that I took my multivitamin.”³
“I weigh 167 pounds.”
“My period started today.”
“Log that I have spotting today.”
“My blood sugar is 122.”
“Record my blood pressure as 118 over 76.”
“Log my body temperature as 98.3 degrees.”

Read about more ways to access and log Health app data with Siri throughout the user guides for Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, iPhone, and iPad.

Siri requests related to Health app data are now available in English (United States) and Mandarin Chinese (China mainland), with more languages to follow.

Available on iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), iPad mini (5th generation and later), and iPad (8th generation and later).

Apple announces expanded partnership with Amkor for advanced silicon packaging in the U.S.

Today Apple announced it will be the first and largest customer of the new Amkor manufacturing and packaging facility being developed in Peoria, Arizona. Amkor will package Apple silicon produced at the nearby TSMC fab, where Apple is also the largest customer.

“Apple is deeply committed to the future of American manufacturing, and we’ll continue to expand our investment here in the United States,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “Apple silicon has unlocked new levels of performance for our users, enabling them to do things they could never do before, and we are thrilled that Apple silicon will soon be produced and packaged in Arizona.”

Apple and Amkor have worked together for more than a decade, packaging chips used extensively in all Apple products. With a shared desire to manufacture in the U.S., Apple and Amkor developed plans to build the largest outsourced advanced packaging facility in America. Amkor will invest approximately $2 billion in the project, and upon completion, it will employ more than 2,000 people.

Apple’s investments in advanced manufacturing are part of the commitment the company made in 2021 to invest $430 billion in the U.S. economy over five years. Today Apple is on pace to meet its target through direct spend with American suppliers, data center investments, capital expenditures in the U.S., and other domestic spend.
