Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors
gatorguy said:It does not seem like a very Apple-y product, but that's not unexpected either. It's a first gen, and according to reports was intended for developers anyway. Three years out they may have something. At the moment it seems like it was pushed out to the retail market before it's fully hatched, and I'm not sure why altho I could guess there's some other nearly-finished products from potential competitors coming before the year is out.
No doubt some regular users here will rush to buy a Vision Pro anyway; after all, it's from Apple. By the time it's fully developed in gen 3 I would expect it to be half to a third of the current price. That's when it may capture my interest. Or not.
Meanwhile, Google and Meta are furiously working back at the drawing board... Another Oh shi! moment for those guys, just like with iPhone and Apple Watch. -

Editorial: Mac Pro puts the pedal to Metal in Apple's race with Nvidia
Excellent article. I am so glad at least somebody knows and writes about the history of Apple accurately.
Although only mentioned in passing I am pleased you mentioned the costs of those powerful Macs such as the "Mac IIfx--with a starting price well above $17,000 in today's money--with the much faster and more powerful Quadra 900, priced closer to a current-day $13,000." It helps put the cost of the new Mac pro in perspective and hopefully helps quash this totally silly meme that Apple has priced itself out of the pro-market spread by those that can't afford or justify one but secretly want one. -
