Strange that the smart condom was left out:

According to the preorder page, the ring will answer questions such as:

• What's my thrust velocity? 
• How fast are my thrusts?
• How many calories did that sesh just burn?
• How many times did I just have sex? 
• What's the average skin temperature of my... eggplant?
• What's my girth?
• How many different positions did I just conquer?

Seems like a missed opportunity. Apple could make these devices better than anyone, and likely get a premium price. 

Premium price indeed, as WPA-OTP (aka WPA3) needs large storage chips for the incoming and outgoing hashed data.

No I don’t have WiFi at home, that’s why I pay for unlimited LTE.  Many people with iPhones never turn on WiFi, it’s unnecessary unless they’re downloading huge games.  

The complaint is Apple is lazy, there is no reason to restrict these downloads to WiFi.  I sneeze on the internet and use 65MB of data...

1) I can feel your sentiment. While I do have WiFi at home, I prefer cellular Internet as it's way faster where I live.

2) However, in defence of Apple, the 100MB / 250MB download limit over cellular may be set by the telco's, and not Apple. Can't confirm though, but read it more than a few times.

3) Turning off WiFi altogether has all kinds of negative impact on iOS. Things stop working, like the Photos app, even though I've set to use it over cellular unlimited.
