  • Apple sells up to 180,000 Apple Vision Pro, says Kuo


    Again based on his unspecified inventory calculations, Kuo points out that with a "user base of over 1.2 billion active users... as long as about 0.007% of users are willing to buy... Vision Pro can sell out after opening for pre-order."



    1.2B active users in the US........?
    Graham raises a good point. There are certainly not 1.5B active users in the US. We must remind ourselves that the AVP pre-order launch was limited to only the United States. So, if Apple sold 160K - 180K over this initial launch with only sales to the US, it may bode well for world-wide sales

  • Apple Studio Display only starts at $1599, and can easily climb to $2458

    For what it's worth, I did come across a recent review of a tilt-adjustable stand that also accommodates VESA mounts and permits screen rotation to either landscape or portrait orientation in addition to position/tilting. Among other sizes, it is listed to support 100 x 100mm, which is what specified for the Studio Display VESA option.

    This may be worth investigating. As I am looking at this, one further item is worth noting... the unit is designed for monitors weighing between 20 - 42 pounds and the Studio Display (VESA option) is 12.1 pounds. If I find other options that address this, I'll add a posting.

  • So far, Apple is struggling to market Apple Vision Pro

    In introducing the AVP, Apple accomplished two things:
    1. They shifted the paradigm for spatial computing and immersive user experiences. The the rest of the industry will be obliged to follow.
    2. The polished experience they created (both in terms of design and the mix of technology) is hard to recreate. Their rivals will struggle to match Apple for over the next couple of years.

  • Apple AR, VR operating system now called 'xrOS'

    One possible reason Apple may be opting to use xrOS is to avoid confusion with ROS - the well established open source framework for Robotics.

  • Lufthansa AirTags ban based on incredibly bad regulation interpretation

    What Lufthansa is missing is the fact that a lot of checked bags do not originate on Lufthansa. Other Star Alliance members (like United, Air Canada, etc.) have passengers connecting to Lufthansa flights around the world. Does Lufthansa expect their Alliance members to police this for them?
