I would think these are more targeted at people with Lightning accessory dongles, not simply for a power cable.  

For example:  Lightning SD Card Reader, L to Camera Connector, L to HDMI video adapter ...  Buy this one converter dongle instead of replacing 3 or 4 other lightning accessories dongles.

I'd like to see me detail on what was actually infringed.  Was it the core technology of the product(circuits & components)? or was the patent something ridiculously simple like "a wearable that displays blood oxygen saturation on a screen". 

I have upgraded my Stainless Steel Apple Watch every year since the first Apple Watch 0 ... except this year.  I get the stainless steel because it can be polished and can continue to look band new through its lifetime.  I always hand my watches down to family or spouse... someone always needs an upgrade; so I never feel like I am wasting $$ upgrading yearly if someone else continues to use it.  I did have a 6 on order, but for me the big feature would have been the SpO2 sensor.  However, when I heard numerous reviews that the Blood Oxygen Sensor was so un-reliable, and had to be sitting on your wrist "just right" to get an accurate reading I cancelled my order.  I was hoping your review would touch on this, as there are very few 6 month followup reviews like this.  I've had no issues with my 5, so I don't regret skipping the 6 at all.  I haven't heard anything about WatchOS updates improving the accuracy, so I guess I'll wait and see what the 7 has to offer.  

So the senior leader ship team for one of the richest companies on the planet doesn’t have 24 x 7 security at their home residence?  And you can just walk through a gate up to the front door of the house?

While I am I the Shortcut Beta program, and extensively experiment with its capabilities (and Workflow before it), I don't think the vast majority of Apple iPhone users have ever bothered with it or know it exists.  It's a great supplement to Siri, and fantastic for automation gurus, but it doesn't excuse Siri being so far behind in general voice capabilities from Alexa.  And I don't mean Skills that integrate with ever other electronic device in your house via a special phrase, just simple basic stuff:

Me:  "What time will it be in 9 hours"
Siri:  "The time is 10am"
Alexa:  "In 9 hours will be April 14th at 7pm"

There are just so many basic questions I've asked Siri that she simply cannot understand, that 90% of the time I just use Alexa instead.
There is also a consistency issue across Siri appliances.  Siri on my phone/watch != Siri on my MacBook Pro != Siri on HomePod.  
Absolutely no reason why Siri on a MacBook Pro connected to the internet couldn't do everything Siri from the Phone/Watch can.
