There are several reports of Apple products like iPhones, and Apple Watches saving lives of its users. And now, it is being reported that an Apple smartwatch has saved its users life by detecting a rare tumor. According to a report by cbsnews.com, the smartwatch has saved the life of Kim Durkee, a Maine woman by alerting her heart was in atrial fibrillation. “The 67-year-old bought the watch to help monitor her exercise regimen and to summon emergency help should she fall. She never dreamed the watch featuring Minnie Mouse would help diagnose a deadly tumor,” the report said.

Other than the fib, Kim had no other symptoms. “She underwent surgery on June 27. Doctors removed a four-centimeter tumor that almost certainly would've killed her,” the report informed.
