Apple Watch torture recording?

October 13, 2018 by Steven M. Peters

Color me skeptical.

 

From AppleInsider’s Saudi journalist used Apple Watch to record own interrogation and execution, report says:

According to a Sabah Gazetesi report, Khashoggi recorded what is believed to be audio evidence of his death inside the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey more than a week ago. Sabah Washington correspondent Ragip Soylu posted a screenshot of the story to Twitter on Friday.

In its report, Sarah claims Khashoggi recorded questioning by a “hit squad.” A copy of the audio file was synced with Khashoggi’s iPhone, which was in the possession of fiancee Hatice Cengiz. Cengiz was waiting outside the consulate during the alleged exchange, assumedly within Bluetooth range of the Apple Watch in question.

My take: While there are plenty of third-party Apple Watch recording apps (I checked), this is pretty far-fetched. To me, it sounds more like a cover story concocted to protect signal intelligence sources.
