Help me out, why are we expecting an iPhone 12 and not an iPhone 11S?

I don't see the point of "s" models anymore. Marketing is better with sequential numbering; less confusing. We haven't seen but two years with "s" models, iPhones 6s and 7s. 

I suspect that Apple will continue with replacing the current lineup each year, and push down the previous low end model as the midrange model in the lineup. So we should see an iPhone 11 as the midrange model this year, plus the speculated mini, 12, and the two 12 Pro models. That's 5 models plus the SE.

Whether there will be a old and new model of the mini in the lineup next year is a great question.

You forgot the Xs & Xs Max.  That makes 3 years of "S" models, with a break with the 8 model because they took it to 10 (X)! 

Er.. You both forgot the 3GS, the 4s and the 5s.

I wonder if Apple could* combine Pulse oximetry and ECG with the sleep app. This could be interesting in indicating a risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. Indeed, add in microphone snore/apnoea sensing on the 'phone (like popular sleep tracking apps have) and this could be really useful in indicating risk - correlate with a Health App based Epworth Sleepiness Score and already entered anthropomorphic data and could identify many presently undiagnosed OSA suffers (or at least highlight a risk and prompt a physician review). It's very under diagnosed!

*I bet they've thought of this!

I read somewhere it does blood oxygen readings during your sleep. Mine doesn’t arrive for another week so I can’t say. 

That it does. But the interval for automatic readings seems to be every six hours, which hasn't helped me at all. I already use a CPAP machine to assist with my OSA and was wondering how helpful the watch would be in monitoring overnight.

So far, and admittedly I haven't taken a deep dive into what can be achieved, it hasn't been particularly useful in this regard. But it's early days, and once I get a useful amount of data I'll be performing some analysis with my GP for everything that's getting logged. The BP graphs are reasonably nice to look at, though.

Plus how many of you are wandering around with a Mac filled with data that if accessed is worth a flip? Without physical access, its useless.

"Although they can't decrypt files protected by FileVault encryption, they can inject a keylogger and steal passwords since the T2 chip manages keyboard access."

You don't use your computer for online banking?

So once the bad people HAVE the device they can mess with it.   Yawn. 

"...it'll require a hardware component, such as a malicious and specially-crafted USB-C cable."

How do you know that you're not using an infected peripheral, like a used cable purchased on eBay or even a 3rd party cable on Amazon?
