  • Apple Vision Pro will get a polish, not an overhaul at WWDC

    CookItOffCookItOff
    Am I the only one that thinks that AVP has the most to gain from a a new AI Siri with ChatGPT 4o integration? A conversational UI is the holy grail for a device like the AVP. It would be fundamentally transformative for the AVP form factor and would make it infinitely easier to use and navigate the system and to get things done. 


    For example, “open the Mount Hood environment, start my podcast, set my windows up around the house the way I had them yesterday and then search for that .pdf file I was working off on Friday about new product strategies. Make a spreadsheet and line chart from the projections in it and then email that to Tim. Then set up a FaceTime meeting at 11am and send the call link to my work team. Once that’s done open up a word document and begin taking dictation”.
    This has me concerned on what I'm going to do with the free time a save if this comes to pass. :smiley:  And for the work at the office peeps I'm sure they only have so many "look busy" task they can perform during the day which those examples would cut into greatly. lol

  • Future Mac Pro may use Apple Silicon & PCI-E GPUs in parallel

    CookItOffCookItOff
    I would love to be totally wrong on this, but after thoroughly reading each patent application it looks like these are the patents for how the Ultra chip (two Max chip linked together through infinity fabric) processes graphic task in tandem, and the infinity fabric link which Apple uses to tie both MAX chips together, and has nothing to do with future multiple dGPU support by Apple. 

    Further evidence of this is that the patent file date is for August 2021 and the Ultra chip debuted in March 2022.

    This doesn’t mean that Apple isn’t working on dGPUs though. And we may very well still see dGPU support come to the new AS MacPros. I just think these patent applications cover the Apple Silicon Ultra’s pair of GPUs talking to each other in tandem.

  • 'Monarch: Legacy of Monsters' may be first 3D Apple Vision Pro show

    Bro, this right here. Let’s f-ing go! If I’m standing on that ocean shallow during a torrential rainstorm while Godzilla and other monsters are doing battle all around me with the fidelity that everyone is claiming, then $3500 seems like a steal.  This looks like it will be a showpiece for sure.

    I owned a software company at one time.  I'd have laughed if anyone had told me I could keep 70% of my sales revenue.  These companies bitching about the 30% have no clue about the overheads they'd face without the Apple Store.  Their solution is easy: leave the Apple Store and find out.
    As a developer myself, I'm embarrassed to be associated in any way to those "developers" that whine about the 30% fee.  I remember the days of boxed software and distribution and 30% would have been considered a steal.  Apple and its AppStore has enabled developers the ability to sell their apps to countless customers with zero headaches of distributing their apps.  Apple provides so much value - like payment processing, Xcode tools, development packages, infrastructure, etc.. - which carries a cost and all it asks is 30%.  Fricken steal.  

    It's also right in line with what the other competing platforms and markets charge too.  

    Screw you whiners.  
    Don’t forget the automatic pool of Billions, yes Billion with a B, of potential customers that they now have access to once their app goes online in the App Store. 
    I can’t image the old school way of going door to door of small retailers and box stores trying to sell software to a middle man that will take majority of the profit. I feel for you old school guys.

  • Apple cites bevy of scared users to back up its case against the EU DMA

    CookItOffCookItOff

    That hasn't happened with the official Google Play Store, and there's a multitude of 3rd party stores to choose from. 
     Of course it has, and to say other wise is complete nonsense. Android users around the world out number iPhone users 5 to 1 but the Google plays store does only half the revenue of Apple’s App Store. The only reason for this gigantic disparity is that people are buying their apps for android devices from other places. ;)
