Insanely great. But what did this cost me, as an Apple shareholder? Betting my dividends would be higher if Apple spent a teeeeeny bit less on these eclectic and expensive stores that are popping up. Apple customers don't need a "floating dome" to shop for Apple goods and services. A mall store is just fine for me.

I see it as brand marketing strategy. Especially in Singapore, brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Sony, Samsung.... etc sticks out like a sour thumb with their "Wow-Factor" building designs. Apple just can't be the iittle guy in the corner or the tiny guy in between these big brands. It would be embarrassing. If there is going to be an Apple Store somewhere in my town in the state of Connecticut, yep, I can see it be the size of a 7 Eleven store with low key architecture design. And those brand names stores, including Apple, on Fifth Ave in New York City don't make any profits at all due to extremely high rent. They are there just for the brand awareness.

LumaFusion and Davinci Resolve put Premiere Rush to shame. Adobe? Hello? Anybody home? Adobe needs to shift their spending more on Rush for iPad Pro vs on the not-so-useful features in Photoshop. Or perhaps that was their intention: a very simple interface for a "Rush" job.

I can't see what Apple could do?  If they improved the sensitivity wouldn't that just make measurements better for light skins too, thus maintaining the differential?  It's physics not bias. 

Not necessarily. All pulse oximeters use a measurement correction curve to convert from the amount of reflected light to an oxygenation percentage. That curve needs to change based on skin tone and possibly other characteristics we don’t even know about today (since only recently did a million people start carrying an oximeter around with them everywhere). Correcting the curve for darker skin would make readings for lighter skin less accurate, so it would need to be adjustable.

There should be a calibration setting. 

I can't imagine the calibrating process would be "what color shade is your skin: choose 1 to 10" and Apple Watch will adjust LED strength accordingly.

Merry Christmas, Appleinsider staffs. AI is my go to Mac news & info. 

This is unexpected. It’s like Porche produced external hard drive at one point.
