  • WWDC 25 visionOS 3 wishlist: what we'd like to see next for Apple Vision Pro

    there is one simple request I have as well. There are many people who bought used AVPs or even new ones and want to use them with their own Apple IDs in countries where the AVP was not released. E.g. Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden etc... In all of these countries you can't use the app store or Apple TV. This is a disgrace. Apple should allow the AVP to be officially used with Apple services in all countries where it officially operates.

    The EU keeps that from happening if the Apple Vision is a work in progress and it is, you can’t get there and satisfy the EU at the same time. There is a period of time where you’re trying to develop the hardware/software to its fullest potential and you can’t do that with a government telling you how to do it at every turn. 

    Particularly when you add in some large developers who want free access to your infrastructure. If the original iPhone is any guide, it took at least two years maybe three years before that ecosystem was stable in the way that we know it today it was not instantaneous and the Apple Vision and its new ecosystem will end up being the same process.

    The fallout from the whole Epic fiasco means Apple is gonna be more careful and even more measured in creating a whole new ecosystem and a AppStore out of nothing, I don’t think they’re ever going to create a gold rush scenario again like the original iPhone/Appstore not if you’re gonna be sued left and right down the road.

    They’re building the ultimate snooping device. 
    It will track your every movement, everything you say and will spit out more AI garbage than you could ever imagine. 
    While it servers will be burning the planet down.

    But Apples, shiny new M series servers based upon Apple Silicon probably won’t be burning down as much from wattage standpoint, (servers I might add that Apple has been reluctant in building).

    Likely a speaker with a screen. An ai Alexa. 

    What else is a third device “on your desk?”

    doesn’t sound like a wearable. 

    Saw the Ive and Altman commercial yesterday on YouTube. They sounded very bullish on this as if it were the next great thing. 

    As much as I don’t personally care for where technology is heading as it removes humans from the equation more and more, my interest is piqued concerning this. As it always is when Jony Ive is involved. The man always produces the best hardware designs, whether it’s a computer, a music player, a smartphone, a tablet, a watch, wireless earbuds, and even a paper red nose. Whatever he makes, it’s either revolutionary or st worst, best in class. 

    Remember Alexa? Apple was declared behind because they didn’t have a little speaker tied to a super computer that phoned home what happened with that? I’m not necessarily saying Apple is way ahead, but I would rather have Apple Silicon along with MacOS and all the different versions/offsprings of it going forward in comparison to the competition, it’s become obvious it’s gonna take a little bit more time for Apple to build out and optimize both in comparison to the competition, and I definitely hope Apple is on schedule to release the M5 before the end of the year in some of their devices along with continued software upgrades to go along with it. WWDC 2025 should be interesting.

  • Innocn 49Q1R 49-inch OLED monitor review: A display confused by some strange compromises

    danoxdanox
    I think Apple will use the thunderbolt five connection to drive their next generation monitors and those monitors will probably be 4.5K, 5K @ 120 Hz or even 6K or maybe possibly higher but unfortunately, for most people the price may be too high, and meanwhile in the current PC market which has basically standardized on 4K at 120 Hz (gameplay) anything beyond is going to require thunderbolt five and the question is will people in PC land be willing to pay for the upgrade probably not.

  • Microsoft blames Apple's interference for why the Xbox mobile store has failed to launch

    So can Apple turn around and blame Microsoft for the lack of AAA games on the Mac? Is turn about fair play?

    Wouldn't that be developers not wanting to waste resources developing for Macs due to Apple's proprietary software (Metal, Apples fault) and lack of market share making it not profitable? 
    Basically AAA games are not on Mac because of Apple and developers, mainly Apple, not Microsoft.

    So if that’s true, Microsoft is now the most valuable tech company in the world what’s their excuse lack of money? I don’t care if Microsoft ever makes anything within the Apple ecosystems but it’s funny that Meta, Microsoft and Google want to camp out within the Mac ecosystems at will and then complain about it to government like Epic when things don’t go their way.

    Microsoft is so bad at times they can’t even get to Apples Rosetta one level with Windows in their partnership with Qualcomm on Arm chips, you know those Surface laptops, but they always seem to get a free pass for their crap just like Intel.
