Let's talk tech. Apple Watch's blood oxygen feature
returns in iOS 18 .6 .1 and WatchOS 11 .6 .1.
This update re -enables the feature on Series
9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 watches, but with changes.
Last year, Apple made the bold decision to remove
the blood oxygen feature from the Apple Watch
Series 9 and Ultra 2 in the United States due
to a patent dispute with Massimo. Now, users
will have access to the redesigned feature by
updating their paired iPhone and Apple Watch.
Results can be viewed in the respiratory section
of the health app with older watches remaining
unaffected. And in entertainment news, Mutch
Cassidy lived long after the famous gunfight
in South America. We aim to correct an old Utah
myth that Butch and Sundance were killed in that
gunfight. We can confidently say that Butch Cassidy
made it safely home to Utah a few years after
that gunfight. Local families rode with Butch
and Sundance before they fled to South America
in 1901. It's been said a local teenager was
excited to see the new Ford Model T driven by
a butch in town. He was celebrated by the neighbors.
When he died in 1937, friends and family buried
him in an unmarked grave. Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the Irish playwright and
critic, George Bernard Shaw. And he said, progress
is impossible without change. and those who cannot
change their minds cannot change anything. And

good friends. We'll see you tomorrow with another
episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
