Apple's Health Age Test Is Brutally Honest | One More Thing

What does an iPhone think your real age is? In the public beta of iOS 27.2, Apple's redesigned Health app tries to answer with a set of tests that weigh your body against the date on your birth certificate. Bridget Carey, the voice of CNET's Apple show One More Thing, took the test herself on camera.

The episode had about 140,000 views sixteen hours after it went up. A regular CNET video usually ends its whole first day around 15,000. The channel's week had been busy with Kindle unboxings, each still in the tens of thousands, and this one left them behind.

The chapters lay out the test: core and strength moves, a flexibility check, VO2 max, then the quieter parts of the redesign. Lab results, nutrition and mental health data can go into the app, and Apple Intelligence writes personal summaries. A Readiness Score tied to the Apple Watch Series 12 gets a mention near the end.

The comments came in more than twice as fast as on a usual first day, and they are mostly about the host. Many viewers mention her humor. Several note that she did her exercises outdoors on a New York bike path. Garmin owners point out that their watches have been grading them for years, and one wish list asks for glucose and blood pressure readings next. One of the most liked replies compares a health age to the "feels like" temperature on a weather app.
