Leak reveals a revolutionary new Apple service that had to be put on hold

A wild new report from The Wall Street Journal reveals that Apple's strategy in the personal health realm is far more ambitious than anyone previously imagined. While Apple's health-oriented initiatives have, to date, focused primarily on Apple Watch features, the Journal relays that Apple has been tinkering with the idea of running a primary health care service with doctors employed by Apple.

And far from just a theoretical idea on a whiteboard, Apple has already tried implementing this plan on a much smaller scale. Back in 2017, Apple started to take over a few local clinics that were already frequented by dozens of Apple employees. As part of the initiative, Apple assembled a team of doctors, engineers, and designers to see if it could come up with a superior alternative to traditional healthcare services.
