The “hard work of data collection”, it’s a fucking scale and it’s MY data, I paid for the hardware, it’s not Withings data at all. They knew the deal going in, Apple didn’t change the terms.

I’ve been a withings customer for just shy of 15 years. My original scale from 2012 is still kicking and I bought an upgraded one 2 years ago.

I will never pay Withings another dime if they keep up this bullshit and/or look for a way to hack the scale to have it talk to some self-hosted backend/app that does sync to Apple Health.
