If the claims are true that the lag is noticeably less, this is obviously pretty big.
You also can't use the side of a stylus to shade. For anybody drawing with it, this would be a big bonus.
The cost isn't actually all that crazy. I bought the Pencil from 53 (betting they'll have to change that name) for about $70. Easily the best stylus I've ever used, but this blows it out of the water. It can do the shading, but not the other two things.
Google has had their phones listening for "OK Google" for a while now and as far as I know it isn't much of an issue. I'd argue the benefits of getting a measurement conversion when my hands are covered in raw pork would outweigh the annoyance of having go off every now and then when it shouldn't. Super excited for this feature.

I use it all the time too but I also can imagine how it could be misused and will probably misuse it myself to be honest.
You would think that they would lock Hey Siri down with a voiceprint so I can't get on a bus and Yell "Hey Siri, text my wife I want a divorce". Especially since the watch has it but you have to raise to use it and the 6s will have a coprocessor to handle it.
