> Apps which track your heart rate aren't fully vetted by the medical community and as such they give out a lot of false readings.

The Apple Watch ECG and irregular rhythm notifications are approved by the FDA.

See a doctor. The Apple Watch knows when you're asleep and should expect a slower heart rate.

Either way... better safe than sorry.

I haven't heard of any false positives on the Apple Watch - and you know if there was, it would be a huge deal on the internet, probably with a -gate suffix.

It's a niche. People who take photos in HDR and video in 4K 60fps or whatever it goes up to. Anything short of a cable is just too damned slow.

But Apple has an iPhone Pro and this is a pro use, so we need the port to support it.

Gigabit is pretty standard in the US, probably mostly among computer geeks like us. It is not standard everywhere in the world, nor among the non-computer savvy.

Charging is not the only issue, though. People need to get tremendously huge video files off their phones these days.
