Apple has had those billions of dollars (basically money for free) and all the years to get into its own search game. 

The cynic in me says it chose not to move forward on that precisely because of the Google Golden Goose. 

It's a good thing they didn't....they definitely would have been targeted by the EU, etc. for yet another thing.

So, am I reading the article correctly, the heart rate data can only be sent to an iOS (or presumably Android) device — i.e., these don't work in tandem with an Apple Watch in cases where you are/do want to use both? That seems like a bit of a miss.

Or did you simply not test that scenario?

It will default to the watch...

I’m not convinced that this isn’t special effects vs actual video played on phones.   It’s probably a mix of both.  

That's not how this band operates...

• So... the bad is pretty bad. At least I think so. Using Camera Control for shutter release isn't a haptic press, it's actually pressing down on the physical button which requires more force than you would expect. Definitely more force than using the volume button for shutter release. The problem is that phone cameras are very light weight, so when I pressed with enough force to release the shutter, I inevitably pushed the right side of the phone down a bit, too, which causes camera shake and your image to be slightly askew. I had to really focus my concentration on not allowing the phone to move, which isn't where I want my concentration to be when capturing an image. You can adjust the force for haptic presses, but not for the physical button that releases the shutter. My workaround was to use my left thumb, which was positioned under the phone and resting on the volume button anyway--as mentioned, shutter release with the volume button is a light press that doesn't move the camera. The other workaround is to just use the screen. But as it stands, I find Camera Control unusable for shutter release. 

 You've got to be doing something wrong if the phone is actually moving when pressing the Camera Control button. I have a SupCase on mine which covers the Camera Control, and even with that, it does not take must effort to depress activate the shutter or start a video, certainly not enough to cause camera shake.

For non-professional use, Musescore works really well and is free.
