\u201cA shift into health insurance would add further impetus to Apple\u2019s already booming services business.\u201d – Benefits Pro<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From a business perspective, Apple\u2019s plan to pivot into the health insurance market is one that works since their devices are designed to work and fit in with people\u2019s daily activities. One such device, which many have slated as the precursor to this move, is the Apple Watch, which serves many functions other than telling the time and receiving calls, emails, notifications and more.<\/p>\n
