The low light applications for depth cameras, applies to autonomous vehicles, iPhone, iPad, AR glasses, etc.

Makes sense, wouldn’t want a patent troll buying that and using it against Apple.

Although a good idea, this technology is still a couple of years off for me and yet i’m thankful for the people buying in and providing income for future rnd. 
My gripe is base stations, while recently visiting a friend’s home, i noticed a floor of hubs and power cords - ugly to me.  This is how the smart thermostats started and the reason why i bought into ecobee long before anyone heard of them outside of canada. they found a way to make an amazing smart thermostat without the use of a Hub while others had ugly antennna hubs, they weren’t for me. 
Looking forward to the future when these items can be charged by solar, no wires and no hubs. 

I understand your reservation for hubs, but in the case of Hue, I like this feature.  As more devices end up on my network, I currently prefer these devices on a separate Zig network until a better option arrives.  There are trade offs, but it’s great having over 30 Hue devices not registering on my WiFi.
Unfortunately Apple ceded the network gear market at a time that’s ripe for innovation.  I’m hoping that they will jump back in with the advent of mesh, IoT, high bandwidth, services, and security.

Dear Tim Cook,
If AirPods generate enough revenue to be a viable market, how is this not similar?  Services could include cyber security monitoring, VPN solutions, and home AI for security (ex: pool guy is not a burglar, or the maid didn’t steal anything).  Allow the AI to coordinate with your neighbors AI in case a fire or burglary in progress.  Monitor your handicapped child or parents remotely, without being invasive.

Hardware would be $150 nodes for a high speed, high bandwidth network with on demand mesh fragmenting and private AI/HomeKit channels (Call the tech lightning bolt?  Lol).

I think it's move to services is very wise but could be improved (it's fairly evident they don't quite "get" web-base technology like Google, Facebook and Amazon...even Microsoft do). But the iPhone business rapidly shrinking in a short time would have a profound impact

Apple doesn’t get web technology, you’re halarious...  
Apple doesn’t get lack of privacy and ethics like Google, Facebook, and Amazon...
I fixed it for you, you’re welcome...

iPhone business rapidly shrinking?  Please cite your facts...

All Samsung hate aside; You have to admit that's a great piece of engineering 👏

At first, I thought you were being sarcastic, then I realized you’re post is serious.  Please tell me how you know the engineering is great?  

It was announced today...

I’m going to give their app a 1 star review for no Apple Pay.  Target caved...
