I understand you deleting my original comment, that’s cool. 

I do think Apple should have stood up though. As the old saying goes “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing”. To just go along is to assure that next time the President will be emboldened.

A good way to create a database of the physical attributes of customers hand and wrist.

useful information when you’re in the business of designing wearables like wristbands, watches and maybe even rings or gloves for VR headsets.

They wouldn't keep the information...it's rather useless. And wouldn't be worth the cost of storage of tens of millions of people wrist size. Might be nice for the customer to keep it for next time.

OMG they would definitely not keep that info. No that’s too dangerous. Imagine the security implications if the Chinese got ahold of every American’s wrist size. 

LOL /s

It reminds me of the old joke from the early Space Age: The US found ballpoint pens didn’t work properly in zero-g so NASA spent a million dollars to engineer one that would. The Russians used a pencil. 

So Apple is developing a system that scans your wrist and computes the circumference of your wrist to tell you what size band you need. Meanwhile I am wearing an AW10 with an aftermarket band. It’s a stretchy band and looks very much like a braided solo-loop, however it’s adjustable. I put it on the watch, set it to a comfortable point, locked it in place, and from then on I use the stretchy to take it off and on. 

There is a simpler solution.

Most of these are nice upgrades but not something that would cause me to go out and drop, the not insubstantial, money on a new iPhone. The exception is the 48mpxl chip in the 5x. I almost upgraded to the 16, but when I saw that the 5x was still 12mpxl I held off hoping they would do this with the 17 Pro.
