Apple Vision Pro customers face a 25-minute in-store sales pitch
This is the future of the internet, it will be bigger than the personal computer and bigger than the smart phone. For many years the main way to access the internet was sitting at a desk, looking at an around a 15” screen, and using a mouse. Then for the last decade and a half most people access the internet with a 4” piece of glass and using their fingers on the touchscreen. Those will both seem quaint someday. Apple Vision is the first step in the majority of people being able to visit the internet as though it is an actual place or have the internet be part of the place they’re at. Shopping for something at Target? Do you want to be looking at the item an inch high on your phone, or looking at it as though you’re IN Target and actually looking at the item? Making travel plans? Want to see your hotel room in a photo a couple inches in size on a tablet, or would you rather walk around in the room as though you’re there? Love sports? Want to watch the Chiefs trick play touchdown on your little phone screen or watch it like you’re on the sideline?The Apple Vision Pro is a VERY expensive first step obviously, but it’s the Vision OS that everyone should be paying attention to because that’s the future that Apple is taking us to. There will eventually be a pair of glasses that we can easily throw on that won’t look much different than a pair of Oakleys, that will run Vision OS with an iPhone at first and then someday without.Steve Jobs influence is still alive and well at Apple, they’re skating to where the puck is going not where it’s at. There are going to be a TON of naysayers for this thing because they’re not seeing 5 to 10 years from now. Apple sees it and has spent many 10’s of billions of dollars to make this happen. Someday just being able command the internet with your eyes and have it be life size (or bigger) will be the most normal thing and EVERYONE will be doing it. -

If the lenses were resting on my face in front of my eyes and the internet was life-size it would be way, way, WAY better. I just watched highlights of the Rams and Lions game, the players were about 3/4” tall on my iPhone. If I could have watched those highlights like I was standing on the field during the actual game believe me I would have. And so will everyone else. That would be genuinely jaw-dropping.You’re missing the BIG picture of what Apple Vision will be able to do. -
Apple's record $81.4 billion Q3 obliterates Street expectations

What kind of WS bullshit is that?And you’re spot on, just like previous quarters when Apple crushed earnings, it’s only what Wall St. thinks will happen going forward that matters.Well, if you go to the VAERS website* right now and compare vaccine deaths, most vaccine deaths range from a handful, to a dozen, to a couple hundred at most. Covid comes in over 6,000. Of course, not all of these are verified, but evidence suggests that most of the VAERS inputs are from medical providers. Keep in mind, vaccine programs have been halted before for as little as 25 deaths. We have >6,000 reported deaths now. And yet people see fit to continue this, even giving it to children, who have virtually no risk from covid. Incredibly cowardly, especially when you consider that over %90 of elderly (in the US at least) have already been vaccinated.
How will all of this affect Apple? Who knows? Should be an interesting quarter.
627,000 people have officially died from COVID19 to date in the U.S., and you are "concerned" about a very small number who have had fatal reactions to the vaccines, and another some 6000 who have been vaccinated but died from COVID19 anyway.
Seems like a vaccination give you 100x better chance of life, and then of course, there are all of those nasty short and longterm effects of COVID19 that a significant portion of those with symptomatic COVID19 will experience over their lifetime.
I say, knock yourself out!
I’m also concerned I’m contributing to derailing this thread, so this post will be my last post on the vaccine.
One of my favorite subjects is Apple’s stock, so I look forward to more posts about their quarterly earnings report. Quarter 2 of 2020 to quarter 2 of 2021 was about a 50% increase, which is mind-boggling for a company with a market cap in the trillions. And I think they’re going to keep growing at an astounding rate.
