maybe I'm just a trash photographer, but I think these ultra-wide lenses on the iPhone and iPhone Mini are such a bummer. Would much rather have wide and telephoto.

I was wondering how the A12Z actually performed as a Mac, the developers were pretty good about keeping mum. Nevertheless, here's one benchmark. The M1 does indeed whip the A12Z, it is by no means "just the iPad Pro chip in a Mac". https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-apple_m1-1804-vs-apple_a12z_bionic-1651

One interesting bit: the A12Z runs at 1.6ghz, and 2.5ghz in "turbo" mode. The M1 runs at 3.2ghz, and has no turbo mode at all. Possible that the 16" Macbook Pro, iMacs, and Mac Pros will be distinguished by a turbo mode that runs as high as 5ghz? 

whoa nelly

I live on the top of an eleven floor building, and our elevator has been breaking down off and on for years. Walking up eleven flights is rough. Twenty two stories would be a serious no joke hike.

I suppose when one scaled that recreationally, they could at least leave groceries and their bicycle behind

I would have preferred blood pressure monitoring over glucose monitoring..

Everyone focuses on the diabetes thing (for good reason), but ultimately diabetes would be maybe the least consequential benefit of glucose monitoring. 

If you can monitor glucose, you have insight into a tremendous amount of data regarding calories and metabolism. Imagine if your Watch not only knew how many calories were in every single potato chip you consumed, but also how your body metabolized it. Weight, hormones, stress, brain activity, obesity co-morbidities… this is the holy grail of physiology tracking. It would revolutionize healthcare and fitness for everyone. 

Which is why I’m skeptical of the whole thing. Heartbeat, ECG tracking, and blood oxygen measuring via camera were all proven technologies that had been around for years — Apple just miniaturized them and put them in a popular consumer product. Non-invasive glucose monitoring is still very experimental and cutting-edge. I just don't see a company like Apple inventing this out of nowhere. I hope I'm wrong, though.
