What's Apple's Vision Pro killer app?
9secondkox2 said:Unfortunately, this article is an example of the VP problem.If you need miles and miles of text to evangelize the product and “explain” why all the stuff thrown at the wall is somehow collected into a killer app, then none exists. “Oh, the killer app is everything all together!” Nope. Sorry. Doesn’t work like that.This has been the problem even in internal testing. Apple’s own staff had concerns. Now, outside of fanboys or developer evangelists, it’s a big question mark and rightly so.Downplaying customer price concerns over a non essential product is also troublesome - especially during inflation.The VP HAS POTENTIAL and can become something great - if Apple can figure out why they made it to begin with.So far, they’ve simply just built a better headset. Will it be enough to actually become a viable “platform?” We will know in two years, after the initial early adopter phase is over.

How Apple's 40 years of learning & iteration is powering Vision Pro
meterestnz said:InspiredCode said:I wouldn’t say Apple was outfoxed in the 90s. Apple just lost their way. It took Steve Jobs return and acquiring another operating system to get out of bad engineering decisions of the time.The bad engineering decisions were another story. I believe what happened was in some way attributable to the change in culture Steve’s “being outed” brought about. When he was pushed, all his followers were devalued as well. The new power was held by conventional, cheap as thinkers. This also locked Apple into the old OS past it’s us-by-date. Steve always had a sixth sense about when a technology was outdated and how to transition to the new. He returned with the transition mostly complete with OSX.Steve’s final departure had the opposite effect than his first - it entrenched his way of thinking in the company culture and empowered his people to endeavour to create.

iMac 24-inch M3 review: A clear sign that Intel Mac support is ending soon
libertyandfree said:The M3 iMac is a very nice upgrade but Apples pricing for memory and SSD upgrades is ludicrous. These upgrade prices should be sliced in half immediately and Apple would still be making huge profit margins on them. Minimum configuration should be 16GB and 512GB SSD. The lower options should not exist.Moreover, Apple is always pounding its chest about how green they are but then they create an entry level high volume consumer product that will be out of use and in a landfill within 5 years. If they doubled the memory and SSD size it would last many more useful years
