  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    JapheyJaphey
    No surprise all the haters rushed to be the first to comment. 
    And all before the announcement was even over, lol.

    Is he suing his parents as well. They undoubtedly signed all the required releases.
    If he didn't pose with the album cover, not a soul in the world would know it was him as a baby.
    As usual, AI avoids several pertinent facts of this story. Like, his parents supposedly never signed a release for the photo and they were not compensated for its use. And you’re right, nobody would know, or even care, that he was the baby in the photo if not for him self-promoting the fact since he was 17. Plus, for someone that suffered “lifelong damage”, $150k per defendant (17 of them) seems sort of low considering his attorneys will end up banking a nice chunk of it. 

    correction: upon further reading, I found that his father actually received $200 for the photo, the same amount Elden himself was paid when he posed again to mark the 2016 25th anniversary of the album.

    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.
    Not fully hatched? 
    It seems like they put a lot of love and energy into addressing all the shortcomings other AR headset suffer from. So I’m just curious as to what you need to see for it to be considered “fully hatched ”?

  • Apple cancels 'Shantaram' after a single season

    JapheyJaphey
    Good riddance.
    My enthusiasm for this series started to fade around the 6-7 episode once I realized that nothing was happening. The last several were only watchable in 15-20 minute chunks at a time. Its was just sooooo boring. I’m all about a slow burner,  but anything with a 900 page source has more than enough material to keep things moving along. Combined with the mediocre acting of Hunnam, and the positive aspects of the series were quickly outnumbered. Seriously, the dude might play a pretty good biker, but everything I’ve seen him in since SoA finds him playing the exact same character. Jax is dead…it’s time to move on and develop a little range.

  • iOS 16 will have refreshed Apple apps but look the same as iOS 15

    JapheyJaphey
    In other words, Apple has some new updates to their operating systems, but we’ll just have to wait to find out what they are? 
    So, just like every other year then? 
    Riveting report, Gurman.

  • Apple Music Classical waltzes onto iPhone

    JapheyJaphey
    I opened the app intending to listen to Shostakovich, and 3-4 lines down that’s exactly who I found. My recently listened to section was populated with songs from the Music app, which I thought was a nice touch.  For me, the best thing about this app will be not having to get constantly bombarded with anymore pop crap.

    More touches and more polish will follow. For now, I’m loving what I’m seeing/hearing, but this is not a finished product.

  • Apple Music Sing turns iPhone & Apple TV into karaoke machine

    Apple has announced a new Apple Music service, but it's not the classical one it's promised for before the end of the year. Instead, it's Apple Music Sing, which leverages Apple Music's lyrics to provide a Karaoke-style experience.

    Read on AppleInsider
    When did Apple ever promise the Apple Music Classical service to be released by the end of the year? I do not even recall them announcing said service, let alone promising a release timeframe.
    When they announced the Primephonic acquisition. It’s in the last paragraph of the press release…

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    I imagine the Vision Pro preceding a Vision Air and possibly a Vision SE somewhere down the line. These aren’t for consumers in the same way that the Mac Pro isn’t for consumers. Our version won’t take too long once this is out in the wild, because then the fine-tuning of the hardware and software can begin and margins can improve, making an affordable model more realistic. But make no mistake, Apple wants as many people to use these as possible, so the price won’t stay like that for very long. They have services to sell us, after all.

    What a bunch of negative DORKS on this site. Much like the iPhone, until you use it you can't understand its utility.

    At least be intelligent or insightful if you're going to be dorks.
    Um… EVERYONE knew the iPhone was a hit right off the bat. 
    Nope. Sorry, but that is completely inaccurate. The nerds loved the iPhone, yes. But to the regular consumer they were derided for many many reasons…

    •They were too expensive at first, necessitating a price drop less than 2 months after launch. 

    •They were only available through AT&T. 

    •They only worked on the pre-3G EDGE network. 

    •Third party apps were only available after jailbreaking the device. 

    •It wasn’t a Blackberry. 

    There list goes on, but the point remains…they only sold a few million the first year they were available. They were far from a hit that first year, they were more like a curiosity to most. The iPhone May have been the Time magazine Invention of the Year, but it took 1-2 years before it was actually a hit.
