  • Aetna to Subsidize Apple Watch
  • Apple Is Increasing iPhone 7 Orders

After discussing the three major parts of the announcement, we go through my thoughts and observations about a health insurer subsidizing Apple Watch. The email then turns to a new report from the iPhone supply chain indicating Apple just increased part and component orders for iPhone 7.
