The new Pope is seen with an Apple Watch in his hand – is he embracing technology?

Pope Leo XIV may have recently shown "a love" for wearing high-tech gadgets, as many have noticed that he wore an Apple Watch during his first Holy Mass.

Furthermore, many elderly men in their 70s, who otherwise do not own any modern high-tech devices, have been gifted an Apple Watch by relatives concerned about the elderly falling or having a cardiac problem.

This is because in such cases, the watch sends an alarm, they write. foreign media, the Telegraph reports.

It's possible that the Pope has relatives concerned about his health and they bought an Apple Watch for him.

On the other hand, if the Pope were to buy an Apple Watch for himself, it would make sense that he also owns an iPhone.

This is because an Apple Watch owner must connect to an iPhone for the initial setup of the watch, sync data, and pair the watch with a specific iPhone unit.

Another possibility is that Pope Leo XIV was a watch enthusiast.

Nick Gould, who calls himself “a watch expert,” noted that “during his first Holy Mass, Pope Leo XIV wore an Apple Watch, which he had previously worn before being elected Cardinal.”
