    For twenty years, Apple has introduced iMac in two display sizes, each major redesign has seen both screen sizes increased. I will be surprised and disappointed if the upcoming bigger iMac isn’t enlarged from 27-inches. 
    I kinda agree. I wouldn't be surprised if a colourful 27" is introduced - I imagine there is a pretty good market for that, and a pro version, maybe with a larger screen and the accompanying chipset and price.

    Apple ought to buy, license or develop cgm sensor technology as used by Dexcom or Abbot, and then sell the sensor at cost to users. The sensor should work directly with an AW, but iPhone or Mac required for stats, analytics and reports. By bringing the point of entry down to cost it would be so cheap every T1 or T2 diabetic, or pre-diabetic, as well as any health conscious person could afford it, and all they would need is an AW and/or an iPhone. In fact thousands if not millions of people would probably get an AW and iPhone on their insurance. It would be  a ton cheaper than the current cost of sensors for the insurers.

    I get irritated when someone in the group has an Android and the entire chat turns green!
    Ha ha... So do I. It inevitably leads to some people not getting messages and a thousand messages flying back and forth trying to figure out if everyone is still 'in'. Once a chat turns green I'd rather switch to WhatsApp, which works just fine on my iPhone as well as on my Mac. WhatsAPP also does 'FaceTime style video or voice calls, to either one will do. The ONE thing I miss from ALL messaging apps is a larger text field.

    I generally have both Waze and Apple Maps running on trips.  Where one fails (and they both do regularly) the other picks up the slack. 
    Me, too. Or I'll compare the two and when they are the same (often), I run Apple maps. I am generally happy with both. Haven't opened Google Maps is a very very long time, but Waze = Google, so....
