It's now possible to change the depth of field after taking the photo. I wasn't paying close enough attention to know if this will also be possible on older iPhones. EDIT: sounds like it's just the new iPhones. But it includes the less expensive Xr.

I missed the part in the stream about FDA clearance, but my guess is yes, it would be some sort of medical device. However comparing the ECG functionality available for an apple to watch to even a standard portable 12-lead ECG is like comparing a slide rule to a modern GPU. It is definitely _not_ a replacement for going to the hospital, but it is a novelty and might be a good way to tell someone when they should go t…
> it is a novelty I'm sure those millions of people who have hospital-grade ECG machines at home have no need for this toy, but for those few who don't, it sounds like an absolute game-changer that could really save lives. The best medical device, like the best camera, is the one you actually have with you when you need it - and as someone who has occasionally worried about what feels like a weird heartbeat, I'll be…
It might be a dummy question, but what does FDA clearance mean exactly? Does it make the watch a medical-grade device and I can do ECG using the watch instead of going to the hospital?
How does the iPhone X s max differ from the iPhone X?
I expect the yet unannounced 3rd phone in the lineup (apparently "Xr") will be the same screen size as the old regular, in a smaller package, and a replacement of sorts for the SE.
edit: well I was wrong, apparently it sits between the XS and the Max, with completely different capabilities…
The showmanship really feels like it's run out. Even when it was the post-Jobs Ive and Cook it was still captivating, but this is just tiresome.
I can't believe they named a phone X[s]. How can they not see everyone calling it "iPhone excess?"
Everyone thought people were going to make tampon jokes about the iPad Pro ("maxipad"), but as far as I know it hasn't caught on. I don't think this will either, for the same reason. People who buy the phone won't call it that because they sunk so much cost into it. The only ones who might call it the iPhone excess are die hard android users, but those don't communicate much with iPhone users (at least not in such an…

The Vivo Nex can do this too btw. It's a cool feature though.

May I ask why is it a huge deal?
It is not easy to get any FDA approval. Companies go bankrupt after spending millions and still don't get approved.

I would expect seniors to be a sizable portion of Apple Watches. Being FDA approved for tracking health would be a huge draw for this audience. Watch Apple implement a subscription service to call emergency contacts in the event of a health event detected by the Watch.
Hope nobody falls on their watch and are uninjured but break the touch sensor, preventing them from being able to cancel the 911 call…
