🦿 Lucian Marin Apple seems to have turned the Touch ID button into an OLED screen for iPhone 8 based on latest rumors (bgr.com/2017/05/16...). I really like this idea. An alway-on round screen would be useful for notifications, clock, fitness tracking or endless other functions.

☕ David Antoine The fingerprint scanner will eventually be placed on the back of the phone if they can't embed it under the screen... We will see, but I'm more curious about the next Apple watch, especially if it is capable of measuring blood sugar levels, according to some reports/rumors. This could be a big selling point as well as being very useful for diabetics I guess, if done right of course.

🤔 John I'm really curious to see what FitBit comes up with for a smartwatch after buying Pebble and a couple other startups.

☕ David Antoine I have read some reports about Fitbit not being in a good shape financially. Their selling volume has sharply dropped (35% y.o.y) the last Q4, if I remember correctly, and they are restructuring as well. Hopefully they will survive, it would be sad, especially after having bought Pebble assets... I would like to see what they would come up with.

🤔 John I did a little research the other day. They have an insane amount of cash on hand for runway, and they made 3 really smart acquisitions (pebble, coin, and a Romanian e-ink luxury watch startup). I actually bought some shares after reading up. I think they have a really good chance of delivering a unique smartwatch that can compete pretty well. At the same time the stock will probably continue to trend downwards until the watch is launched and has proven sales, which will not be fast since they are integrating those 3 acquisitions. I'll personally probably buy more shares if it's still below $6 when the new watch is announced.
