In the case of the Gear Fit, there is a simpler STM32F439, a Cortex - M4 chip which
actually suits the purpose, because the Gear Fit was simply designed to record and relay data and nothing else.
What is
actually going to happen is the same thing that has been happening all along: those with an interest in denying anthropogenic climate change will selectively quote those things that
suit their
purpose (the fact some evidence of impropriety was raised) while selectively ignoring those things that do not (the fact those improprieties were disproved).
