About that Apple watch
A pro-government Turkish newspaper claims officials in the country have an audio recording from the watch he wore when he walked into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul over a week ago.
Authorities recovered the audio from Mr Khashoggi's iPhone and his iCloud account, the newspaper said. The journalist had given his phones to his fiancée before entering the consulate.
The newspaper also alleges Saudi officials tried to delete the recordings first by incorrectly guessing Mr Khashoggi's PIN on the watch and then using the journalist's finger.
However, Apple Watches do not have a fingerprint ID unlock function like iPhones. The newspaper did not address that in its report.
An Apple Watch can record audio and can sync that later with an iPhone over a Bluetooth connection.
The newspaper's account did not elaborate on how the Apple Watch synced that information to both the phone and Mr Khashoggi's iCloud account.
Turkish officials say they believe a 15-member Saudi "assassination squad" killed Mr Khashoggi at the consulate.
They have alleged that they have video of the killing but not explained how they have it.
