It is interesting that Apple will now sell 7 distinct phone models. Throw in the different capacities and carriers and you have a few dozen different SKUs. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a notable deviation from their early approach to the iPhone.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is not easy to get any FDA approval. Companies go bankrupt after spending millions and still don't get approved.
It's a 510k "clearance", not an "approval". It's relatively cheap and all you have to do is show your thing (ECG in this case) is effectively the same as other similar devices (older ECGs) for medical purposes.
The ambiguity there is abused by many companies on the fringes of consumer health and cosmetic products.
> A 510(k) is a premarketing submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent (SE), to a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval
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 had a HUGE expectation on a new MacBook Air! I've watched til the end expecting "one more thing" (which would be unlikely, given it isn't a exactly a new product)
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.
They bought the company ~3 years ago that made a camera with post-processing DoF tech: LinX.
They killed the SE! Now we're stuck with screens too big to use with one hand. I really really dislike this.
Secondary actions may still require a second hand, but most primary actions should not.

Especially the exaggerated adjectives. Everything's "gorgeous," "beautiful," or "stunning," even if it's just a featureless black slab like every other phone for the last 5 years.

Just announced: Apple now runs on 100% renewable energy.
