Simon,
I am not aware of Apple forcing anyone to use most of these features.
The fall detection is a feature now under SOS on
the watch that can be disabled or enabled; users choice.
Granted, you may not need it, but there are
people who do and Apple is one of the leading
companies in making things for everyone, not
just a few, and allowing for personal customization.

Richard,
The fall detection for me will be impossible to live with,
I'm always tripping over someone or something when walking around town.
As for at home,
I've got no space to fall over in,
To much clutter around the place,
Mind you I spend a lot of time either sitting at my desk or on the couch
May e it will see that as fallen.

Fascinating, Mark, so you think the young, rich,
bay area people are going to be needing the
hearing aid features, the fall risk features,
and others I won't bother with here.
I could not disagree more with your statement.
Simon, Several of the health features are
clearly targeting older adults. You may not be
there yet, but those are going to be good
features for the vast majority of people using iPhones one day.
I know someone who was helped greatly by the
fall detection as they live alone and the fact
that their watch alerted her emergency contacts
that she had fallen, was possibly a life saver.

Hello Simon,
I share your sentiment especially regarding the
new Focus feature. Then again, we must always
remember that many of these features are based
on the needs of young, rich, highly active San
Francisco Bay area based users.
This is just my opinion but I would put money on the demographic I describe.
As I think back over the years at some of the
photos they display regarding their staff,
during the presentation, it leaves little doubt
about which demographic gets the most attention
and it ain't low-paid blue-collar wage earners (smile).
Just my opinion, nothing more (smile).

Hell, I'm listening to the presentation now and
currently at the health features update.
From what I've heard so far,
I'm kind of thinking I'm getting in above and beyond my requirements level.
Some of these new to come features sound pretty
far out there, To the point I think, as cool as
that feature sounds, Why do we need it, Or more to the point, do we need it?
Are we starting to get lazy
It's almost like the IOS 15 OS will do
everything for me except make my coffee in the
morning, and sleep for me at night.
Or should that be the other way around,
Don't get me wrong,
This stuff sounds very very cool and helpful,
But really, do I need to know when I'm going to fall over?
But we in New Zealand wont get the benefit of a
lot of these features because our systems aren't up to stratch
Like my medical test requests / results, I don't
believe we have the inferstructure in our
medical systems to get this without jumping through rings of fire!
But still.
Lets see where this goes once the os is actually updated.

Shhh. Don't jinx it.
The one thing I'm actually looking forward to is
the SharePlay feature. Especially since a lot of
the big streaming services appear to be onboard.
Not that my sighted wife or family/friends for
that matter would ever say anything or complain,
but hopefully with SharePlay, it'll be a lot
more convenient to watch and enjoy something
with others for those of us who need or want the
audio described track by simply slipping on a pare of headphones.
It's been something I've always written to Apple
Accessibility and feedback about with every
major iOS release since I don't know when.

I am really surprised to come home tonight and
to find virtually nothing about today's WWDC
keynote. I guess the good old days are over when
the Viphone list had 200 messages on a day when Apple delivered a keynote.
