So just a thermometer gun? It costs like $20-30 on amazon and I've never needed one other than in my home / kitchen. Why in the world do you want a phone for this haha.

I do think I've found the perfect car for you: https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpsons-car-gif-8120474

On that topic, I would have liked a new AirPods Pro to be able to monitor my body temperature through my ears, while I'm working out.

It would be nice to have constant monitoring against a baseline as well, to alert people when a fever might be breaking out.

If they are producing and selling it on amazon means someone buying it even if you don't need it. Body temperature check definitely would be handy. Those sensors definitely don't cost $20-30. I had CC1350 SensorTag and it already had that for retail price also around ~$35 (but altogether with 10 different sensors inside and that bought 10 years ago).

They also sell smart outlets, back massagers, and garden sprinklers on Amazon. That doesn't imply people would find them handy in their phone.

I think it'd be an easier pitch in the watch though as that's where they are already shoving most of the health sensors (and have wrist temperature monitoring already).

There's lots of devices that can do all sorts of things, but not needing a separate device was their point
