I was waiting for Daring Fireball's Gruber to weigh-in (emphasis mine):

Spatial computing in VisionOS is the real deal. It’s a legit productivity computing platform right now, and it’s only going to get better. It sounds like hype, but I truly believe this is a landmark breakthrough like the 1984 Macintosh and the 2007 iPhone.

But if you were to try just one thing using Vision Pro — just one thing — it has to be watching a movie in the TV app, in theater mode. Try that, and no matter how skeptical you were beforehand about the Vision Pro’s price tag, your hand will start inching toward your wallet.

Earlier he wrote about spending $5K on a 77-inch TV. That's one of the analogies I used when talking about the possibility of buying VisionPro. I recall my hesitation about buying a flat-screen or HiDef TVs years ago. I thought my sis was insane to spend thousands on a 50+ inch TV I thought had fuzziness. Now so many buy huge TVs without hesitation. Alas, I'm still not sold on buying VP for myself... yet.

During the height of COVID my fav Chinese spot changed ownership a few times before selling to totally new owners. The location was listed as "Permanently Closed" twice after the ownership changes (new name, then ownership between a husband and wife after they bought out their partners). It's still listed under the old new name even though there are completely new owners and they once again changed the name. Thankfully the same lead chef remains.

I see similar mistakes with Yelp & Google Maps. Owners have to stay on top of their info to ensure it's up-to-date/accurate.

I see why there's a proxy fight he may wind up losing. He's focused on only hurting Apple, not looking out for the good of Masimo.

What an incredible F-You by Apple
