Apple already fixed this. 1.3 turns off the persona when typing.

Interesting that Apple told them a lighter version is coming.

Nothing but cope in these comments. Please provide a link proving that Apple's "strategy" is to not sell a new phone every year. You expect us to believe that Apple's marketing strategy is to sell less phones and make less money?

Apple expects some people to upgrade every year, and others on a cycle. This is well known that consumers were going this long cycle way for a long time. This is partly why Apple went to services. Apple isn’t making less phones because of this as their market is huge. Apple doesn’t have the capacity to make a new phone for everyone, every year. Then there is sourcing all that material and how to recycle all those phones. 

I don’t think Apple’s strategy is to get most users to upgrade every year. That puts a tremendous impact on the environment and I don’t think Apple is setup for that much manufacturing. Apple is setup to gain from people sticking around, buying services and when they are ready to upgrade, upgrade. The phones are built to last a bit, so why is it bad to Apple of users that people keep their phones for longer?

You guys need to be mindful that the blood oxygen feature is only disabled in the USA. It works everywhere else in the world, and Apple Watches are being sold with the feature today. 

Thank you! This article is just another example of the US media forgetting the rest of the planet exists!

Now has it actually been removed from new watches or just disabled for USA? I doubt AppleInsider will be finding out before or after the launch!

It is only disabled. If Apple gets the go ahead, they can reenable it.
