The last one is pretty cool indeed. Still, I feel like Apple has still some "one more thing" for lidar in the future

Well, it doesn't seem to me that Apple has backed this new technology with any significant app that makes use of it. And I don't see any serious app in the apple store that makes use of lidar either.

I still don't understand why Apple has chosen to include such a sophisticated and expensive sensor of so little use to average consumers in its flagship products.

They're probably setting the stage for some future technology, maybe AR related?

Awesome inventory. I'd add service discovery and distributed key/value store for configuration data
