I’m reading that the “base” level device will provide 256GB of storage — I’m assuming there will be higher storage options.  What do you think is adequate?

“Hey apps are free, standalone apps that access a paid service. This is similar to how apps like Netflix and Spotify function — the app is essentially a reader app that accesses off-device content.”

How is this app similar to Netflix or Spotify?  Does it stream video or audio content?

I’m not privy to the whole situation, but my impression is that the developer seems to be looking for a fight.

What happens if a developer wants to use APIs from Apple and doesn’t have an app in the App Store?  The DOJ is an oxymoronic joke, and they seem to be intent on creating a problem rather than dealing with bigger problems right in front of their eyes.

The store visit requirement for fitting and shipment to home makes sense.  I don’t think this will be a long term requirement, but rather it will be to get feedback and work out kinks.  I would think light seals in different sizes could be purchased separately, which would eliminate questions about the fit.

“Patent Troll” seems to be an unfair label, in this case; based on this quote from the WSJ:

“A few months later, Mr. Kiani said, he got a call from his chief medical officer, Michael O’Reilly, informing him he was joining Apple, which he said had agreed to double his salary and pay him millions in Apple shares […]

Mr. Kiani is one of more than two dozen executives, inventors, investors and lawyers who described similar encounters with Apple. First, they said, came discussions about potential partnerships or integration of their technology into Apple products. Then, they said, talks stopped and Apple launched its own similar features.“

Michael O’Reilly started with Apple in 2013 and the other former Masimo employee mentioned in this situation, Marcelo Lamego, started in 2014.  O’Reilly is still at Apple and Lamego left after just a few months to start his own wearables company.
