He doesn't really explain why this will help healthcare. Ok, it has a better and more efficient motion sensor. And? Do joggers run with their iphones in their pockets? How accurate is that data going to be anyway if the phones jump around in your pocket? I'd expect something like a wrist band or watch would work better for that sort of thing. Plus, we already had some apps that tracked the distance you were making and so on.

If Apple is going to "revolutionize healthcare" this is not how they're going to do it. When I'm imagining "futuristic digital healthcare", I'm thinking of something a lot more all-encompassing than a motion sensor.

Hey, I'm thinking that we've seen nothing yet, but the M7 is small enough to fit in something thats very durable, lightweight and that is not your phone. I'm talking about something smaller, that will make us get rid of things like, Keys, Cards and other wearables.

Imagine the time before iPhone, and now look at the times after the iPhone. Apple made all this possible by challenging the industry.

I'm thinking about a product, that you wear, thats let us do a lot of fancy stuff, with out even thinking about it.
