And if the climate change radicals get their way this is the future for the U.S. Learn to live one or two days a week without power... to save the planet of course.

Nuclear power would solve the problem once and for all; it’s by far the greenest energy, if everything is factored in (land and resource use, waste, CO2, impact on eco systems, cradle to grave) and there’s enough of it for hundreds of millions of years.

It would be more useful to have iDevices with eInk displays on the back: this would allow customization of the devices look with custom wall papers when used in transparent cases, and more importantly, allow low-power display and reading in daylight: think displaying a subway or city map while traveling, e-book reading at the beach, etc.

Just as good as hospital equipment???!!!

The above is a screenshot of my blood oxygen levels over the past week. I do not have lung or heart disease & am physically fit. Capillary (blood) oxygen levels range from 95 to 100% in healthy adults. As you can see from the screenshot most are the readings recorded by my AppleWatch indicate that I am hypoxic (low oxygen level in the blood). 

I am a physician & have contacted Apple regarding these inaccurate readings. The response from their engineers was that it was because of my skin pigmentation. I am Asian & while not pale skinned, am not dark either.

Hm, similarly here: often it can’t successfully get a reading, often it’s low like yours; and I’m as white, and skinny as it gets. So it’s certainly NOT pigmentation or body fat getting in the way…

It may be also a question of how tight the watch sits, if it gets shifted due to sleeping position, or possibly if by how one sleeps, blood circulation to the arm is restricted?

Don’t know, I’m supposedly healthy and my readings are all over…

I don’t get how anyone could say this „isn’t for work“: typical journalists who can only imagine desktop work or leisure.

Take tableside POS order entry and payment in a restaurant: iPhones are expensive and too small (iPod touches are essentially gone), and full sized iPad are too big and clumsy.

similar things can be said for using the device for inventory tracking, bed-side health data entry (iPad mini fits into a lab coat pocket) etc.

Unfortunately iPad Mini is useless as a network testing device, since Apple won’t allow access to MAC addresses, not even as something users can allow on a per-app basis in privacy settings.

 Build numbers please?

Why can’t you finally get into the habit of publishing build numbers?
