This! Instead of cars or VR is where Apple should focus on. The Apple Watch and wearables capabilities, potential, and market are going to explode and Apple needs to be there. It's also far more important or worthy project than stupid toys or cars. There are plenty of people working in that space, and Apple just needs their hardware to support their functionality.

yes this is a nascent moment in health wearables as a must-have gadget, but it will be something huge. Apple needs to get to know the FDA and vice versa because this is where Apple can dump some of their billions in research with a clear conscience and a mountain of gold for the taking if played righ.

It would be a great time to introduce the jet white 7. Not only because the sooner the better, but while the 7 is still "new" and the 8 is still a whiles away. it would do more to stir even more interest for the7 than any advertisement. My local news covers anything Apple. Free advertising is the best advertising.

I would love to get a 12.9 pro because I love to draw, but it seems to me like specialized apps and OS optimization is moving quite slow. So I'm still on a wait and see mode for now.

There is video where the base model using final cut pro, exports 4k video in a 1/4 of the time as a Windows machine using premier. Same thing for transferring files. 
I think we're starting to see the same things on the Mac as we see in the iOS-Andoid model; That higher specs don't equal better performance. That it's the seamless software/hardware optimized environment that trumps off the shelf devices created in separate bubbles and strung together instead of designed as one.

Doomed! Imagine the numbers if the 7 wasn't "boring" or if the 7 had an exciting design as the Pixel! /s

Blows my mind how much the tech media is praising the Pixel.

Its absolutely ridiculous that the tech media bashed the iPhone7 non stop for its design.
And then the Pixel comes out with a design very similiar to the iPhone7 but uglier ( ugly antenna lines, chin with no button, ugly glass square on the back) and they praise it to high heaven.

Just shows the tech media is EXTREMELY BIASED and are hoping beyond hope for a phone to beat the iPhone.

It's an echo-chamber where they all know each other and group think. Their Note 7 literally blew up in their faces so they needed something else to cling to.

Their doomsday scenario about the upcoming 3.5 headphone jack apocalypse didn't pan out. All the punditry didn't cause widespread riots and no one cared, like no one will give a cräp about the Pixel either.
