I think Apple will have to offer more than lossless music to stand up to that “Music is about the change forever” claim.  After all, other services have been offering that feature for years.  Maybe this is when they push out virtual surround sound.

For ECG specific application - AliveCor is the world leader. 
Apple watch primary function is not ECG - but a big selling point. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple buy AliveCor. Which would be a shame - the Kardia devices are exceptional. 

As a physician, I’ve always felt that AliveKor products were subpar.  They do little to remove artifact, and they charge you a very expensive subscription just to be able to see previous 1-lead EKG’s that you have recorded on your own device.

I’m not sure why you would say the Apple Watch cannot do an EKG.  Both these devices perform a 1-lead EKG (AliveKor and Apple Watch).

I long ago purchased the Kardia device from AliveCor, which is a 1-lead EKG device that is inferior to what the Apple Watch can do (Apple watch didn’t offer it at that time, though).

Only afterwards did I realize that those guys charged you $10/month just to be able to review ekg strips that were stored ON YOUR OWN DEVICE.  As far as I could tell, they had zero overhead cost beyond the initial development.  If you wanted to show your doctor the strip, you had to pay them $10/month.  At least at the time, you got nothing else for that subscription, as far as I could tell.  It felt then like a rip off, and still does.  I have used it zero times since I got my EKG Apple Watch.

I wear a mask all day.  Face ID is great, but useless with the mask.  The return of Touch ID would be SO NICE...

I would like to see security options that could allow requirements for both Touch and Face ID (and possibly passcode), combinations of these, or none of them (security off).

I also want to see a “poison finger” option where, if a certain finger is used on the fingerprint scanner, the phone is disabled and wiped.

This feature would grant additional flexibility and choices, which I think is always good.
