  • Maxed-out Apple Silicon Mac Pro costs 1/4 what a maxed Intel one did

    this is a very impressive item at a very impressive price point

    but - i have experienced apple dodging responsibility for new apple gear defects too many times for me to ever buy 'new' retail apple hardware again

    i've been quite happy buying used apple gear on ebay and craigslist, etc.

    in about a year, after engineering works out the kinks and releases the rev 1.2 version, then I could possibly be tempted to buy a used M2 Mac Pro . . .

    Pretty amazing for a 1.0 product ... but the price is going to scare away a lot of regular folks. 
    apple's market has never been regular folks

    they will sell every unit they can manufacture

    I was going to make that verbatim quote, you beat me to it, but then I see all the homophobic posts here and, wtf?

    One thing for sure, when people truly don't like something (like, er, gay people) they tend not to discuss it.

    Otherwise they place themselves in a position whereby other people wonder exactly why they're so obsessed with the subject in the first place.

    Repressed, have you heard of it?

    Facehugger Lobotomy Pro - renders all previous smartphone dumbdowns obsolete!

    It's just what a self-absorbed, obsessive-compulsive, pron-addicted society requires for this moment in human evolution.

    No longer will bloggers,  twittlers, tik-tok-wits and Instagram influencers require that their cellphones be attached to selfie sticks when sharing recordings of urban beatdowns, automobile accidents, skateboard park mishaps, retail theft incidents, mostly peaceful protests, self-defense documentation and other events of prurient misery.

    I have no desire to allow any device to scan / map / record / digitize my irises or corneas

    This is some Star Trek shit right here and y’all complaining bcoz “it doesn’t look like apple,” “it’s too clunky,” “it’s too expensive.” Cry me a fucking river. This is awesome! Will I spend that much money on it, likely no. But I’m sure as hell gonna try it out at the store. The implications are astounding as far as I’m concerned. 
    Great. You’re in a niche group. Go buy and enjoy. It’s pretty neat I guess. Just don’t expect it to be the next iPhone. 
    it's the next 60' computer / video display.

    (yes, sixty feet)

    sony, samsung, LG et al should be very worried

    show me a retail flatscreen with this display quality and versatility at this price point.

    sony once sold a 98" 8k display for $84,000.

    the Apple Vision Pro offers a much better experience for a fraction of the cost.

    I don't want one, but this will completely change video consumption, the same way the iPod changed music / audio consumption

  • Even with so many demonstrated use cases, Apple Vision Pro might not yet have a purpose

    perfect monitor replacement 

    8k 100" displays cost as much as an EV

    this would be my use case

    ... Of course now that Apple is about to show the world how it should be done, Google will resurrect their failed project.

    as someone who has navigated many complex google UIs over the years (adwords back-end, account admin pages, API interface config, etc), my opinion is that apple has nothing to fear from google in terms of UX design

    if i didn't know better, I would deduce that google pays their UX team according to the number of UI features they modify / degrade, regardless of whether or not those changes yield actual improvements to UX (which is almost never)

    They need a 120 Hz Studio display to compliment it.
    it's called Apple Vision Pro

    at least nobody will have to buy two, unlike studio displays

    if I was samsung or sony or LG, i'd be worried

    for the price of their best 120" displays, you could outfit the entire family with Apple Vision Pros

    Apple Vision Pro is going to slaughter the external monitor / hi-def TV market
