4k finally? Had to skip the 4th generation because it was missing. It is kind of absurd situation, you can record 4k on iPhone, but can't watch it in full resolution.

Absurd? If you've been following Apple for any length of time, surely you'd see that they try to ship products when they're ready. Not when they're ready by your expectations but when enough is ready by Apple’s estimates.

It’s likely they're not considering just your ability to capture 4K but their ability to have content to sell or stream to customers in 4K and that may not be ready. It wouldn't be a particularly great launch of a new Apple TV that can display 4K content but Apple doesn't sell any 4K content. 

These retailers and banks should build their own phone. Why should Apple be forced to open its technology just because others failed to make a compelling platform/device of their own that people want to use?

No one forces the software powering a microwave oven to be open for others to write on, nor is BMW forced to open its iDrive media console software software to others.
