I like vertical videos. Easier to watch on the iPhone and iPad.

Natural viewing angle is wider than it is taller. Vertical videos make no sense unless using it for sports to analyze motions.

Your eyes are side-by-side, not one above the other.

"The special events focus on the intersection of health, fitness and technology, such as how to live a better life by maintaining a healthy body and mind." This is the sort of comment that undermines Apple's reputation as a computer builder. They now appear to consider themselves self-important enough to play the role of life coach, guru, religious prophet and who knows what next in their cynical, greedy and hype-fuelled quest for my money and yours.

Nothing new here. Apple has never positioned itself as just a computer builder. Computer builder brings to mind Dell. Or Newegg.
