Mainstream reporting on Apple is often sensational and superficial. Once and a while it's also stupefying. That's the case with this story about the Apple Watch, where it seems details of Apple testing various different health sensors during the normal course of their product development cycle somehow got warped and twisted into something profoundly stupid.

Apple is ditching the health tracking functions of the Apple Watch, which is going to start shipping in April. Why? "They sorta had to," said CNET senior editor Jeff Bakalar. "Because it's not working." Apple touted a new health and fitness app when they first announced the Apple Watch back in September. Since then it's remained a highlight of what to expect, and it was evidently still a part of the plan when details of the watch leaked in January.

John Gruber stated the obvious on Daring Fireball:

This is ridiculous. Nothing has changed about Apple Watch's health and fitness features since it was announced. They have a web page explaining just which fitness tracking features it has.

Despite that, and despite the articles own comments pointing out the errors over and over again, at the time of this writing it's yet had yet to be corrected.
