LOL the idea that AirPods are "no longer cool" is as funny as the fact that AirPods weren't originally cool. The online technorati openly derided the AirPods with jokes about wearing toothbrushes in your ears, saying they looked stupid, etc. That didn't stop the AirPod's rise in popularity because they're very good, and got better with newer versions.

Off topic from this article, I know but man I wish I hadn't updated my XS to ios15.  What smoothness remained in this device is now gone.

You can try booking a Genius Bar appointment and demand that they restore the XS' performance or put 14 back on it.

USB-to-HDMI 2.1 adapters should work at full bandwidth on these Thunderbolt 4 ports.
(But I get that the purpose of complaining online isn't to find answers; it is to complain)

I was able to sail through the purchase process at an unhurried pace, including answering questions about my eyewear prescription, completed checkout and got a Feb 2 delivery date. No issues or errors this time. Didn't add any accessories at time of purchase. I uploaded my prescription to Zeiss, and they confirmed it just a few hours later.

People speculating on the ins and outs of the battery pack:

You can also plug Vision Pro into the wall. My guess is that most people, most of the time will use them like that. I know I will.

Looks like the battery has a USB-C port for power in, so why not hook additional/3rd party to that port?

Someone will sell "Vision Pro compatible" battery packs on Amazon and Temu regardless of the connector type. China's manufacturers have cloned just about every other accessory in the Apple ecosystem.

I've been told that nobody uses iMessage outside of the US and Japan. WeChat dominates in China, and WhatsApp dominates everywhere else.

At least in the Apple Store app, the length of coverage for AppleCare+ wasn't stated. $499 for 1 year or 2 years? We all seem to assume 2 years, but that's not necessarily the case unless in writing.

It said $499 coverage was for 12 months - it was on the page describing the details, in fine print.

I thought he was a yuuuuge fan of his Samsung Galaxy S3.

Sounds desperate to me.
