. Will it have use in an educational setting, an engineering setting, a architectural or creative setting? Absolutely but at the speculated price it will not be the next big thing.

The rumored $3,000 price is just an Apple marketing mind game like the rumors before the iPad was released,  When this device comes at out $1,500, the tech press will marvel at the bargain and more people will be able to afford it.  Your overall premise is, in my view, correct, that it won't be the next big thing at least until a cheaper more mass-market version is released. (Maybe it will be a subscription device?)

My guess is that a spouse put the AirTag in the car and it has nothing to do with "anti-police sentiment."

Even if one's ... ahem . . . livelihood depended on avoiding law enforcement, knowing where one car is wouldn't help much.  If you thought your cop spouse was cheating on you, you might care.

This lack of availability of content I was not trying to access at the time, combined with the vertical or horizontal line iPhone issue that I didn't experience have me boiling mad.  I sense a class action lawsuit coming up.

Apple will obviously have it in the Apple Watch either this year or next. 

I'm not sure that it's obvious but I hope you are right.  It's obviously a good thing.  Having this built into the watch will make blood pressure immensely easier to track and perhaps it will pop up with heart rate on Fitness+ workouts, etc.

Apple Music Sing will be available later this month to Apple Music subscribers worldwide, and can be enjoyed on iPhone, iPad, and the new Apple TV 4K.

Does this mean only the Apple TV 4K released this year is going to get this feature?

Yes that's exactly what Apple is saying. And that sucks. And we'll never know if it is truly a hardware limitation or an arbitrary cutoff.

It does kind of suck for those of us who have an Apple TV 4K that isn’t “new” but this feature will make the upgrade worthwhile.
