Ohh yeah I saw the thing about the EarBuds! This is actual about the rumored iWatch and how they've reportedly been having meetings with FDA about "medical apps", but there is reason to suspect that these medical apps are actual in-house Apple applications made for their iWatch to collect biometric data. Most smart watches have some minor biometric sensors but they are more novel in that before any equipment is useful in a medical situation(like a diabetes patient monitoring glucose) the FDA(in the USA) has to approve it. So Apple getting this would put their device way ahead of the competition.
