    So the first segment of the event will be introduction of MacOS Monterey? Highly anticipated!
    Hopefully it now sucks way less. That has been Apple's weakness the last decade or so, whereas one could argue it used to be their strength (even more than hardware).
    The iPhone and iPad are the greatest sharing and communication devices every created. But Mac is still the best content creation computer.

    True, my comment was more the Mac area of Apple. But, as good as the iPhone is, a lot of the OS issues stem from the iOS UI and attempt at integration between the two platforms. I'm not saying that latter aspect was to be easy, but I wish Apple hadn't thrown out so much of their user-interface expertise in the process.

    I strongly believe we are about to get a surprise from Apple that people aren’t expecting. It might be the AR/VR unveiling everyone has been waiting for. 
    AR/VR? Hmm, I've been wrong before, and my prediction today is the biggest longshot I've ever predicted, but here goes.... A few weeks ago ABBA announced new virtual reality ABBAtars of themselves, but they didn't mention any hardware platform that their VR Abbatars would be available on. The timing might be coincidental, but I'm predicting that (a) Apple will release a VR/AR device, and I also predict that (b) the first app Apple will announce for their new AR/VR device will be "ABBAtars," which will allow people to see themselves right in the midst of ABBA's performances. I've never stood in line for any product before, but I'd stand in a long line for that one.
    Uh, gee — it says all over their website what this is for — a series of concerts in London using their avatars as stand-ins for the band. There's absolutely no mention of AR/VR anywhere to be found: https://abbavoyage.com
    Of course they didn't say it was for any sort of AR/VR! That's my whole point - I'm making a prediction. You should look up the word "prediction" in the dictionary. I enjoy when other people misinterpret me and I get to tell them.
    You said they announced a VR product but not the hardware it’d run on. That’s a false premise to start, so your “prediction” is meaningless. It’s not a VR product. It’s a show. 
    I did not say that they announced a "VR product". I didn't even use the word "product." You are making up false claims to try to validate your mistakes. For a person with 5000+ posts you are sure inaccurate a lot.

    You know very well that their VR show does run on something. Maybe we will get access to something that will run it. That's my longshot prediction. Is that too hard to understand still?

    Learn to read, learn to think, and please learn to be polite.
    You: "they didn't mention any hardware platform that their VR Abbatars would be available on."

    Product: "VR Abbatars"

    Everything they demoed in that video was a product that was rendered for final playback, not a realtime VR environment — that much is clear. It literally runs on anything that plays back video to the screens they're playing them on. It's not VR, AR, or anything like that. Again, nowhere is that a thing related.
