it would have its own wireless networking: WiFi and cellular

the battery life will last at least 8 hours, with USB-C charging and/or support for wireless charging

it will be white, likely white plastic, possibly with a metal back

the shape will likely be either a circle or squircle, less than 0.5” thick

alternatively, if starting with a premium device:

1) free for chat pro subscribers

predictions on the price of the device:

1) free for chat plus subscribers
2) $99-$199, includes 1-3 months of free chat plus subscription

there will be 1st and 3rd party accessories that allow you to wear it as a clip or pin

prediction: io hardware they talked about will be voice first and hang around the neck (optionally)

we agree
