"In terms of monetization of AR/VR, we focus first and foremost on customer experience,"

Surprised he included VR in his statement.  

He mentioned both AR and VR only because the analyst’s question included both, and Tim was echoing back the question. Beyond that, his discussion of the topic focused exclusively on AR. 

Finally, a phone without bloatware.

Interesting timing for me: as a new developer, I posted my first game to the App Store today.  

Now we know what the focus of version 2.0 will be!

BTW, the Simulator released in September was unbearably slow... as posted by many Devs online.  I hope this new 9.0.1 version corrects that.  Previous versions of the Simulator had fine performance, so something went drastically wrong in 9.0.

"...from more than half of the devices* it attempted to access in the past 11 months..."

* Note: the half running iOS.  The other half -- running Androd -- opened quite easily

So Tim Cook wants to turn Apple into GE. I don’t like this idea of Apple turning into a conglomerate.

go to sleep.

So you think Apple becoming a conglomerate is a good thing? What’s next, Apple branded health food stores?

This seems to me like Apple wants to strength its own health team while at the same time getting real world experience. The Health Care Industry is huge and complex, if Apple can better understand how a real live clinic functions, the better their health focus products can be. 

Yes, I see this as analogous to Apple’s investment in the Chinese ride-hailing company: it’s not necessarily that Apple wants to be that company, but having an investment in that company would give Apple insider knowledge of how that new business segment works.
