Summary:

Whiffin described paired-device artifacts from 4:02-6:09 p.m.; they document device events, not by themselves the user, wearer, or time of the killings.

Body:

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Ian Whiffin described an iPhone 13 paired with an Apple Watch, the phone's last unlock near 5:13 p.m., a last Watch heart-rate record at 5:23 p.m., stair-flight records at about 5:33 and 5:38 p.m., and call records at 5:33, 5:34, and 6:09 p.m. [SWORN TESTIMONY] He also described same-day Miralax, ThreeV, and CVS searches and earlier mental-health searches. [UNKNOWN] These are device artifacts; without additional attribution they do not identify the person holding or wearing a device or establish the time of any killing.

Structured claims:
- [sworn_testimony] Whiffin testified that the Apple Watch reflected in the extraction was paired with the iPhone 13 he analyzed and that Apple Health records can include steps, climbed flights, and heart-rate data.

- SUPPORTS: Day 13 · Commonwealth digital theory — https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/prosecution-case/card/185. The admitted phone, Watch, stair, search, and call artifacts add device-level chronology used by the Commonwealth. They support a device timeline, not an automatic wearer or crime-time inference.

The 5:38 p.m. reporting endpoint, unknown device disposition, and source-attribution issues limit person-level or crime-time inferences from the device chronology.

- SUPERSEDES: Apple Watch and Health claims — https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/digital-evidence/card/48. The Day 14 sworn forensic testimony supersedes the legacy card's through-Day-12 statement that the online Watch and Health claims had not yet been authenticated. The new testimony authenticates specified device records while retaining wearer, source, and interpretation limits.
