Health tracking - useless except to tiny tiny tiny market.
Wouldn't health book just be replacing existing app's you are already using? I'm hoping for something that's not already being done by existing app's.

Bring back the Computer in Apple.
I agree. I see it being like Passbook, but even less useful.
If you're expecting them to just be back to building PCs and laptops, give it up because that's never going to happen again.
If it did, that would be a sign that something's gone horribly wrong. When they were PCs only they were at best, what...a $10 billion a year company at their best?
Now they're a $180 billion a year company.
The only health related app I have is iTriage, which is really pretty good for medical diagnostic and facilities location services.
I have to wonder if this app will embed itself into the health book
Maybe not. I don't think they were selling that well to be begin with and didn't they just get through a recall?
This sounds like iOS in the car type stuff. But instead of Honda it's Maytag, etc.

OS X is still a huge feature at WWDC, and they had the "Back to the Mac" event not that long ago, so there is still a lot of "Computer" in "Apple."
IMO, Apple knows the last two/three years have not been the best in terms of breakthroughs and they know people expected better from them or they wouldn't be on the top 5 of the most valuable companies in the world. Furthermore, they have lost the first place on that list recently and I don't think they are ok with that. They need to change the world once again as they they with the original iPhone.
Apple is very deliberate in their new product launches. It happens like clockwork almost every 3 years. They release, then rapidly refine, while the rest of the industry catches up to the first iteration. Then overtime the competitors catch up as a market segment matures, while apple has already been working on their next new product market for a few years.
That has been the formula for the last decade, like clockwork.
I believe then, we reached the end of a cycle, is it ?
Only a couple weeks after I installed a full Iris Home Automation system, Apple is creating or announcing theirs?.![]()
Not only that but they have some really spectacular patents and I suspect many of them will be put to use (finally) in the next year or two.
For the "fanless" portable they've got a really cool ionic wind generator. Using an iMac as the wireless charging hub for your home. Some really cool ideas that have had their patents updated over the last few months.
I share your excitement! Those who said that Apple can't innovate anymore (Hello, Steve Wozniak!) are about to have their pants blown off!!

5. Profit?
The thing is, most people who aren't nerds following these things don't understand the unfathomable effort that goes into these things. Consumers think these new paradigms just fall from the sky, which is really disheartening.
