iOS 27 doesn’t leave any iPhone behind, but WatchOS 27 can’t say the same with Apple Watches

by

Apple held its WWDC 2026 conference yesterday and one thing must be said: it was less attractive than expected. Knowing that this is a software conference in which they were going to focus on the new features of iOS 27, macOS 27 and the rest of the systems for their devices, perhaps we expected something more. Clues about the folding iPhone, which will go a little deeper into each of the systems and some hardware updates for equipment like the Mac mini. However, Apple tiptoed around the software because it was dedicated to detailing two things: privacy and security controls for minors and lots and lots of AI. This is logical because Siri AI (which is how it has been renamed) had a lot to prove, but in the end The interesting thing is to know who will be able to use the new functions. And here is good news for iPhone users and quite bad for those who have an old Apple Watch. If you consider an Apple Watch Series 8 old, of course. Obsolescence at two speeds: iOS 27 vs WatchOS 27 During the presentation of iOS 27, those from Cupertino confirmed that no iPhone that had iOS 26 was going to be left behind. This was a surprise because Apple provides long-standing software support for its devices (traditionally, at least), but iOS 27 was expected to leave out the generation of mobile phones launched in 2020. However, it will not be like that and both iPhone 11 like him iPhone SE 2020 are listed as compatible with iOS 27. It is a surprise, without a doubt, and we are eager to see how the speed improvements that the new system will have thanks to better CPU optimization will affect these veteran devices. Now, one thing is that they are compatible with iOS 27 and another is that they all have the same iOS 27. Here there will be two speeds: From iPhone 11 to iPhone 15 Plus – Compatible with iOS 27, but not Apple Intelligence. From iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 17e – Compatible with iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence. In the end, it makes sense, since Apple Intelligence has certain hardware requirements and older devices were not intended for this. The crucial difference in this is the RAM, with 6 GB for the iPhone 15 and 8 GB for the iPhone 15 Pro onwards. Another story is WatchOS 27. Apple tiptoed around the software of one of the best-selling wearables in the world, but right after the presentation we were able to find out the list of Apple Watches compatible with WatchOS 27. And the list is… short: Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 9 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch Ultra 2 Apple Watch Ultra 3 At first, the Series 9 It seemed that it was left out of the equation, but it has subsequently been confirmed that it will be included because it did not make sense that, with the same SoC as the ultra 2you did not receive the update. Even so, This is a very short list That contrasts with what we have seen in the iPhone, especially for devices that do not add a multitude of functions each generation of software. But hey, it’s an Apple with two speeds in the software and if it now turns out that a three-year-old watch is old… well, that’s the way it will have to be.

Hubble is slowly falling, but NASA doesn’t know if it’s worth rescuing

by

At the end of this month, the launch of Link, the ship developed by the Katalyst Space company, is scheduled to rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Telescopewhose orbit has been declining in recent years due to atmospheric resistance. Although the development of this mission has been expensive, NASA considers that it has been a minimal investment compared to all the return that can be generated by keeping the telescope in operation for a few more years. Therefore, given that Hubble is also deorbiting, the question arises whether it would be interesting to do the same. It is clear that this telescope can still provide a lot of science. However, it is an old instrument, so its maintenance and operation are quite expensive. That is why NASA is doing calculations to discern whether it would be interesting to develop a ship similar to Link for its rescue or if, ultimately, it is more profitable to let it deorbit. Almost 100 million dollars in one year. During 2025, NASA invested 98.8 million dollars on the Hubble Space Telescope. Only the much newer James Webb required more investment. We must not forget that Hubble was launched in 1990. It is very old, so today it is more expensive to maintain and even operate with it. But it’s in good shape. Despite needing so much investment, Hubble is in great shape. Many saw the launch of James Webb as an opportunity for Hubble to retire. The networks were filled with photographs in which images of the same point taken by one telescope or another were compared, always much more clearly in the James Webb. However, they are not exclusive telescopes, but complementary. Hubble focuses on detecting emissions in visible and ultraviolet light, while James Webb specializes in near and mid-infrared. It is true that James Webb can see through dust and gasgo further and take images with higher resolution. However, there are objects that can only be observed at the wavelengths at which Hubble works. Today he continues to make great discoveries and if he were to deorbit and retire he would leave a very big void in space research. The ideal would be to last 15 more years. The Habitable Worlds Observatory is scheduled to launch in the 2040sa large telescope, much more advanced than Hubble, which will also work in visible and ultraviolet light. This could, in a way, retire Hubble. Until then, it remains a necessary telescope. You have to do calculations. With the Swift, the profitability of launching a ship to their rescue was very clear. For Hubble, more calculations will have to be made, since a ship larger than Link would also be needed. Still, given how useful this telescope has been and continues to be, it would not be strange if it is still profitable to recover it. If this is not done, re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere could occur. in 2029, with a median set in 2033. There would be no time to get his replacement ready. It is a very important detail to take into account. Image| NASA Hubble Space Telescope In Xataka | The James Webb has broken another historical record: a supermassive black hole older than expected

Money doesn’t buy happiness. But it does give a monstrous Bugatti television that folds itself

by

A 137-inch television that, when you are not watching it, folds by itself and remains as a luxury decorative structure in your home. Yes, it is as crazy and absurd as it is real. Bugatti has presented to the world “his” first televisionone of the most spectacular on the planet. Of course, it needed a little help, so it relied on the work of C Seed, an Austrian display brand focused entirely on luxury. WTF. The chances of seeing the video of this television and not surprisingly, in my opinion, they are very low. In fact, the first thing I thought when I saw the video was that it was generated by AI. Mistake. The concept is “simple”: a television in 110 and 137 inch formats that folds in 45 seconds and remains as a very expensive decorative element in the home. Beyond the eccentricity, on a technological level it is truly amazing. Original design of the C SEED N1. Two of them can be configured in dozens of options. Bugatti version. Who is behind. The truth is that Bugatti did not invent this television, it was presented by the Austrian company C SEED in 2022 under the name N1, and it began to be sold to order in 2024. C SEED is a young company, founded in 2009 and with headquarters and production plant in Vienna. From the beginning, it focused on luxury televisions and solutions, both for mansions and superyachts, events, etc. It’s a small, absolutely niche company, so if you’ve never heard of it… you’re not alone. The bug. The Bugatti N1 is a complete redesign of the original N1, with materials and lines used in the Bugatti Tourbillona four-wheeled hypercar million of euros. And as for specs… 4K UHD resolution, HDR10+. Foldable microLED technology (five panels). Wisdom Audio self-deploying speaker system. Swivel system up to 180 degrees to the right and left. 1,000 nits brightness. 3m wide, 1.7 meters high, less than 10cm thick in its 137-inch version. 680 kilos for the 137-inch version. The five panels of the television unfolding. How is it possible. C SEED has not created a 137-inch folding panel, the TV is made up of a total of five microLED panels. This is one of the keys: it is not a typical panel with sub-panel hinges visible at a visible level, they are rigid and independent panels. The company has patented its own “Adaptive Joint Calibration” system, in other words, its electronic calibration system to align panel joints with millimeter precision in real time, making them indistinguishable to the eye. MicroLED technology is self-emissive, in which each LED is an individual, independent light emitter. This means that the system can precisely control the intensity, color and on-time of each pixel individually, including the pixels that are on the edge of each panel, next to the board. Go deeper. C Seed does not go into details about the manufacturing of the mechanism that rotates and hides the panel, although the documentation of the panel reveals some images of its interior. In them, we can perfectly appreciate the cavities that house the microLED modules, the screws and some of the joints of the system. In addition to this system, the audio system, signed Wisdom Audio, is especially striking. The speakers are hidden within one of the panel structures, and appear only when we need to play audio. The rest of the time they are hidden, to keep the design as clean as possible. I want one. The C SEED website only allows you to configure the television. Once we have done so, we submit the request and the company will contact us. Depending on the materials chosen, the customizations we want to make and the size, the price of the previous version was around $200,000, so add another few thousand for this Bugatti version.

The problem is not that middle managers are retiring en masse. Generation Z doesn’t want their job.

by

The inverted population pyramid that we have in Spain means that hundreds of thousands of professionals with decades of experience behind them retire every year. Area directors, zone managers, team leaders and other intermediate and management positions that have sustained the structures for decades. The problem is not their exit, which should be a normal and expected process, the real challenge for companies is that now no one wants to take your place. The situation even has a technical name “succession crisis” and the data confirm it. According to data collected in the report ‘Human value: global trends on the future of work‘ Prepared by Manpower Group, 57% of companies globally recognize that their aging workforce is already affecting their human resources strategy. Key management positions are retiring and Generation Z does not seem willing to fill them. Reasons are not lacking. Retirements skyrocket. The first to reach retirement age have been the generation of baby boomersbut the first members of generation Only in Spain, in 2024 they registered 368,065 new retirements, 12.6% more than the previous year, while the 345,000 retirements registered in 2025 show a sustained rhythm for the following years. As pointed out to ExpansionAccording to Óscar Berumen, CEO of Grupo Viraal, what is lost with these departures is not just a vacant position: “When a company lets these profiles go, it loses technical knowledge, strategic memory and a deep way of understanding the business.” It is a type of knowledge that is not contracted with a typical job offer. Generation Z is very clear that they do not want to ascend. The phenomenon even has a name: conscious unbossingor the total disengagement from decision-making positions that generation Z is putting into practice. According to a survey From recruiting firm Robert Walters, 52% of Gen Z professionals actively avoid middle management positions throughout their career. 69% describe them as roles in which a high level of stress is required, in exchange for low financial reward. In other words, the salary improvement that companies offer does not compensate for the additional mental load that promotion entails, which is why young people from Generation Z are not willing to give up mental health or reconciling their personal life. According to the latest data for 2024 from the INEthe average salary of those under 25 years of age in Spain was 1,372.8 euros. Take on more responsibilities without real compensationGraphic is not the most attractive proposal, which is why many young people prefer to fulfill their current positions and maintain conditions compatible with their personal life. AI accelerates the problem from another side. As if the refusal to promote was not enough, the emergence of AI in the workplace has added another reason to stay away from promotions. According the data collected by Revelio Labs for Business Insiderjob offers for middle managers in the US were 42% lower than the maximum recorded in April 2022. The consulting firm Gartner calculated that by 2026 one in five companies will use AI to eliminate more than half of their middle management positions. The last ones layoffs in big technology such as Amazon, Google or Meta have not occurred in a context of financial crisis, but have been carried out with the intention of flattening internal structures. This flattening has especially affected to middle management who were dedicated to transferring the objectives to the rest of the staff and managing their execution. Now that job AI is going to automate itwhich is why young people do not want to play those roles and put a target on their back in the next round of layoffs. A perfect storm. According to estimates of the report According to ManPower Group, by 2030, more than one in four workers in advanced economies will be over 55 years old. Generation Among millennials, that figure rises somewhat more, to 56%, but it is still a minority. Companies that operate with structures designed for linear upward trajectories face the major problem that that model no longer fits the way young people understand work today. The gap left by boomers and generation X will not disappear just because of the passage of time. Organizations will have to decide whether to redesign the role of middle managers to make it attractive again, or they learn to function without them.

Europe is preparing four measures to become independent from United States technology. The problem is that he doesn’t know how

by

The European Union has been ruminating for some time that depending on third parties to manage its data, its chips and its digital infrastructure is a risk that it can no longer afford, so next Wednesday, June 3, it will put on the table a package of measures to achieve its technological sovereignty (or at least, to depend less on countries like the United States or China) whose draft they have already had access to. Financial Times either Political. The sovereignty package is so ambitious that it aims to mark a before and after at the level of the RGPD and it is not something general and intangible: there are four specific measures so that vulnerabilities such as that of Nexperia don’t happen again. But the dependence on the United States is just as worrying, as the slam of the Netherlands on the purchase of Solvinity. Two concrete examples from two different countries for the same problem: European critical infrastructure is in the hands of others. The EU package of measures. Next Wednesday, technology commissioner Henna Virkkunen will present the review of two laws known as the Chips Act and the Cloud and AI Development Actin addition to an open source software strategy and a roadmap for the digitalization of the energy sector. More specifically: The cloud, tested. Audits and stress tests to discover vulnerabilities and thus anticipate a possible US blackout. Chips Act 2. The Commission imposes the power to, in an emergency, cancel semiconductor supply contracts in the event of a shortage, fine companies that hide information about their supply chain and act as a central buyer for the 27 member states, as it did with vaccines during COVID. Open source as an alternative way. The EU wants to promote European free software companies, will encourage collaboration between states and create an instrument to maintain indigenous solutions against US proprietary software. A lot of financing: 200 billion euros are needed to expand data center capacity until 2036 and another 20 billion to execute digitalization and AI plans in the energy sector. Where from? Fundamentally, attracting private investment. Why is it important. Because Europe does not manage its own data or control the core of its critical industry and this has clear and direct consequences. The old continent has already seen the wolf’s ears. A good example is the cloud: three American companies occupy 70% of the European market, according to Sinergy datacompared to a pyrrhic 15% made in Europe. These are hospitals, public administration, defense of all of Europe operating on servers where Washington rules. In terms of chips, it has already experienced it with Nexperia: the Dutch government took control of the company to prevent China from destroying it and Beijing responded by cutting off the supply of chips, which resulted in a shortage of processors and even stops in an industry as essential for the old continent as the automobile. Context. This package of measures comes with clear bases: the recommendations of the Mario Draghi’s competitiveness report of 2024 and the Competitiveness Compass of the EU and in reality it is not more bureaucracy, but a way of simplifying everything to see the objective more clearly. In fact, a year ago the European Parliament defined what he understood as technological sovereignty: “the ability to build capacity, resilience and security by reducing strategic dependencies, avoiding dependence on foreign actors and single suppliers, and safeguarding critical technologies and infrastructure.” Regarding the chip manufacturing industry, a paradigm shift is observed: we have gone from the practical “just in time” to streamline inventories seeking efficiency and low cost to manufacturing “just in case”, something that is already contemplated by both the European chip law and its American counterpart. Europe’s problem is that it arrives late and with a tiny manufacturing muscle. Yes, but. The European record invites us to take this ambitious plan with caution. The different projects to manufacture chips in the old continent have progressed unevenly, the funds from the original law were dispersed among different state projects without a common industrial strategy (for example, Germany negotiated with Intel and France with STMicroelectronics) and the reality today is that chip manufacturing conditions in Europe continue to be worse than in China, South Korea or the United States. That Europe legislates and each state goes to war on its own also applies to the cloud: the government of each state has the power to decide what to do after the relevant audits. The new package of measures starts from the same point and runs the same risks of fragmentation. On the other hand, there is the economic issue: public financing may be dispersed, but private financing for data centers is not yet assured. And finally there is a big underlying problem: Europe has laws, but it lacks a powerful and complete industrial ecosystem to achieve technological sovereignty.

The most advanced ship China has ever built doesn’t know if it’s an aircraft carrier or an assault ship. And that’s exactly what makes it dangerous

by

Some time ago we knew the existence of the Type 076a warship very suitable to take the recognition of the most advanced that China has ever built. After completing his training maneuvers, he recently was seen crossing the South China Seaquite turbulent waters from a geopolitical and military point of view. And of course, having a 40,000-ton giant there does not go unnoticed. Your own category. The Sichuan is technically an amphibious assault ship, designed to transport troops, armored vehicles and all types of vessels. But to call it just that would be an understatement. With a full-length flight deck, a double-island superstructure and, above all, an electromagnetic catapult Capable of launching conventional fixed-wing aircraft, this ship also functions as a light aircraft carrier. In this way, you could say that the Type 076 is in a category of its own. It is a category of its own, a hybrid between an assault ship and an aircraft carrier that can operate fighters like the J-35the latest generation Chinese stealth, as well as drones and helicopters. Its length is around 260 meters and can house up to 1,000 navy soldiers. Your catapult. Most of the amphibious ships that exist in the world can carry aircraft, yes, but only those with the ability to take off vertically or over very short distances, such as the American F-35B. The Sichuan does not have this limitation, since its electromagnetic catapult, between 100 and 130 meters in length, is of the same generation as that of the aircraft carrier. Fujian and equivalent to the technology that the United States has developed for its latest superaircraft carriers. This gives it unparalleled versatility for a ship of its type and a much greater operating margin in terms of load, range and armament of its aircraft. Electrified. The Sichuan propulsion system it’s electric. Of course, to power it, two 21 MW gas turbines need to be combined with six 6 MW diesel generators, which gives a total power of about 78 MW. This design is used both to power the propulsion motors and also to manage the energy peaks demanded by the electromagnetic catapult. This type of engine has several advantages over conventional diesel, including faster starting, greater operational flexibility, less vibrations and a smaller underwater acoustic footprint, making it more difficult to detect. Testing in the most tense place in the world. The Chinese Navy confirmed At the end of April, the Sichuan had set sail for the South China Sea to carry out its first tests in waters other than those of its base. Zhang Junshe, military expert, counted to the Global Times that it is “rapid and efficient progress” that brings the Sichuan closer to its official commissioning. The previous tests that we reported on last year were carried out in waters near Shanghai, where they evaluated the stability of the propulsion system and electrical systems. Now, in the South China Sea, it is time for something more demanding: complex climatic and maritime conditions, high humidity and variable waves, an environment that will help them validate flight operations, amphibious maneuvers and test the performance of their combat systems in real conditions. A whole birthday has come together. The Sichuan reached the South China Sea at the same time that the United States, the Philippines, Japan, Australia, Canada, France and New Zealand began the Balikatan maneuvers, a set of military exercises that are carried out annually and involve nearly 19,000 soldiers, according to Admiral Samuel Paparo, head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, before the Senate Armed Services Committee. In addition, the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning He also headed towards the same sea those days. And of course, in the face of such deployment, there are many who think that China is carrying out a calculated show of force in waters that it claims for the most part as its own, and where precisely it has open territorial disputes with the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries in the region. What comes next. Once these tests in the South China Sea are completed, the tests should include integrated operations with embarked fighters, helicopters and amphibious forces. When all test cycles are complete, the Sichuan will be ready to enter service with operational combat capability. Junshe counted told the Global Times that the ship’s construction speed is “considered fast” and reflects China’s increasing maturity in building large warships.

The new Siri will arrive soon in beta phase. It doesn’t matter when you read this

by

The new Siri will arrive in beta phase with iOS 27. And yes, you have already read this news… two years ago. Gurman himself failed in his predictions, as he expected the beta version of Siri to land early this year, in one of the iOS 26 betas. With Gemini Intelligence presented and the advanced state of third-party alternatives such as ChatGPT either Claudeit may seem that Apple’s delays are getting more serious. The truth is that it matters little. The new. Gurman has revealed important details about the iOS 27 news and, among them, it seems inevitable that the new Siri will finally arrive. Although it will be an independent application (like any of its rivals), it will be fully integrated into the system and can be invoked as before. To reinforce privacy, Apple will allow you to schedule automatic deletion of conversations. A function that casts certain doubts since, whether we like it or not, the proper functioning of an AI depends on how much it knows us. And if you are going to forget what we talked about for privacy, you will have a difficult time in new conversations. If you can’t beat the enemy… Siri as a direct rival to Gemini, GPT or Claude doesn’t make much sense, so the leak suggests that iOS will not depend exclusively on its model. When she is not able to respond for herself, will continue to use third partiesas it currently does in its integration with OpenAI. After the agreement between Google and AppleGemini will be at the base of much of Siri’s behavior. The question is how much and in what way, since privacy is Apple’s main concern compared to other models. what’s happening. The internal delays in the new Siri are causing chaos that is taking a media toll on Apple, and there is no firm explanation beyond the fact that they will only release it to the public when they are ready. The shipwreck of the new Siri It is a mixture of competing visions, technical errors and an internal war between the Artificial Intelligence and software teams themselves. The obsession with privacy has led to two years of delays in a territory where progress is counted weekly. For years Apple set the pace of the industry. For two years now, for the first time in a long time, he seems to be running after her.

Liquid cooling or air cooler? What to choose so that your CPU doesn’t smoke without having to spend a fortune

by

How difficult it is to choose the parts of a desktop PC: what if the processor, what if RAM memory (well, if you find it at a good price), what if graphics card and other things. But it’s not all about your computer being as powerful as a NASA computer: you also have to design it so that it doesn’t smoke. And that’s where refrigeration comes in, a topic that has more to it than it seems and that we are going to explain in this article. Essentially, you have two ways to cool your processor: an air cooler and liquid cooling. You may read in many places that the latter is the best, but there are many nuances in that statement that must be clarified. So, let’s get down to business. Choosing an air cooler Let’s start with the air heatsink, which we can say is the ‘old-fashioned’ solution for cooling a processor. If you take a look at one of these heatsinks, you will see that it is almost all a fan, although it is a somewhat more complex component than that. Everything is placed on top of the processor and right there, depending on the model we choose, we must keep one thing in mind: may need a lot of space inside the PC case. Piecemeal. The air sink has a copper or aluminum base that rests just above the processor and, to facilitate heat transfer, the thermal pastea compound that makes it easier for this generated heat to pass from one place to another. That heat travels through heat pipes or heat pipes, which are sealed tubes with a small liquid inside that continuously evaporates and condenses to transport heat very efficiently, until it reaches the radiator. How does one of these heatsinks cool? There is no universal answer to this, since each model is different. But, yes, keep this: a quality air heatsink can cool better than small or medium liquid cooling. And that, in addition, with several very interesting advantages. The first thing is that these heatsinks are much easier to install: just apply thermal paste, screw and connect to the motherboard, nothing more. Besides, andThese heatsinks are much simpler and more durable. Basically, what can end up breaking is the fan and it is not difficult to replace at all. Now let’s get to the bad. Again, it will depend a lot on the model we choose, but there are air heatsinks that, when put at full capacity, They are real turbines and they make a lot of noise. They also take up a lot of space, as we said above, which has two implications. First, you need physical space to put it in the box. And second, if it fits just right, it will not have enough space to expel air and the cooling will not be correct. Choose liquid cooling The alternative is AIO liquid cooling (which comes from ‘All In One’). If you have read this far, you can already imagine that we are facing a more sophisticated refrigeration method. In fact, it is not only more sophisticated because of the way it extracts heat (which also, as we will see below), but it is a sophisticated system in sight. It’s an eye-catching system: the compact block above the processor and the case-mounted radiator offer a much cleaner look than the bulky air cooler. This system is based on the same thing as the air heatsink, that is, a metal block that comes into contact with the processor (with thermal paste, of course). What’s happening? What happens through that block? a liquid that absorbs heat and carries it through tubes to a radiatorwhich is actually quite large. This has fans nearby that cool the liquid and, in this way, the cycle begins again. Let’s go with its strong points. Remember what we mentioned above about the price, but, in essence, liquid dissipates heat better than air. In addition, the fans of this type of system are usually quieter than the one with the air cooler, which means less noise. Although be careful, because the pump can also make a little noise. There is also the issue of space, since the block that goes on top of the processor is much less bulky than the air heatsink. Bad turn. This cooling system, being more complex, is much more difficult to install. Besides, It also has a shorter useful life. (they usually have a useful life of between three and six years) and, if there is a coolant leak, it can cause serious damage to the PC (it is not common, but it can happen). They are also more expensive systems, as we say. The good and the bad of both options, face to face air heatsink liquid cooling THE GOOD 🟢 It is a cheaper system that works well and is more durable. It can be more efficient when cooling and aesthetically it is very cool. THE BAD 🔴 It takes up a lot of space inside the PC and can make a lot of noise. It is more expensive and, if it causes problems, it can be a headache. Ideal for: Have a long-lasting cooling system without many complications. Users who put a lot of effort into their processor and who want the interior of their PC to be more aesthetic. Neither of these two options is bad for your PC, but they have their advantages and disadvantages. Beyond what you want to spend, what you have to take into account when choosing is What needs do you have and what use are you going to give to your computer?. If what you are looking for is a system that will last for many years and you will hardly have to worry about it (beyond cleaning it and changing the thermal paste), then the ideal is to choose an air heatsink. Because? Because these systems are simpler and it is difficult for them to break. In addition, a good … Read more

The homeopathy has received a hard blow today from the Spanish health authorities, and more specifically the AEMPS itself, by pointing out in a devastating report that homeopathy has no effectiveness proven when it comes to treating different ailments, despite the fact that they promise something completely different. Something that can mean a great fall for a business that has invoiced millions of euros and all thanks to the scientific evidence that is increasingly clear regarding the null effects that these ‘treatments’ have. A lot of weight behind. The history of homeopathy in Spain has been written for years based on regulatory purges, but the latest Health analysis leaves no room for doubt. Based on 64 systematic reviews From scientific studies published since 2009, the national body has ruled that these products They provide no real benefitdifferent diseases such as, for example, depression, autoimmune diseases or even dermatological diseases. And as we see, it is not something new, since the scientific community has been warning for years that the supposed improvements reported by some patients with homeopathy are explained by three factors: the placebo effect, the evolution of the disease itself and the unreliability of the studies on which its operation was based. A tug of war. In fact, science tells us that, when clinical trials are carried out with great rigor and with the appropriate research methods, the difference between administering a homeopathic product and a simple sugar cube is statistically null. But the mental effect of taking a pill that promises an almost miraculous effect when it comes to curing an illness plays an important role in making us think that it really improves us. The real danger. A priori, taking a homeopathic product does not have too many dangers for the patient, since they do almost nothing in the body. But the problem is that the use of homeopathy encourages the abandonment or delay of medical treatments with proven evidence, such as, for example, an antidepressant in major depression. Failure to follow the most appropriate treatment has fatal consequences, especially if we are talking about serious diseases where time is a super important factor. Furthermore, the AEMPS and various medical reviews have documented very serious adverse effects due to this lack of real medical care, such as abortions or deaths. Although the most serious may be in the field of oncology, where the use of these alternative therapies such as seawater has been shown to directly increase the risk of mortality as patients reject conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. A free fall. Today, this market moves around 30 million euros annually in our country, representing 0.5% of total pharmaceutical sales. Here the great giant of the sector is Boiron, which controls 90% of the market and is seeing its empire falter, since, although its products are still present in thousands of pharmacies, sales they haven’t stopped fallinggoing from billing 20.6 million euros in 2016 to only 14.6 million in 2024. Recalls from the market. The purge in pharmacies has been relentless, since following EU directives that require efficiency tests to authorize medications, the AEMPS has already withdrawn 66 injectable products in 2019 and another 314 in 2024. But as of today the Ministry of Health has recalled more than 1,000 homeopathic products. The 976 that have managed to survive and remain registered have done so under a “simplified registry.” This is an ‘escape system’ in the law, since here they are considered harmless products, but they are strictly prohibited from including any therapeutic indication or promise of cure on their packaging. In this way, no homeopathic product can have the promise of curing a disease in Spain. In Xataka | Millions of Spaniards consume benzodiazepines to sleep at night.
