Apple is already being weirdly criticized for an AI effort that hasn't launched yet
Great article DED. As someone has posted who cares? Definitely not the majority of folk who purchase iPhones. Those of us reading AppleInsider are enthusiasts we are definitely not the majority of consumers. Yep critics live up to their name. They bash but never create a damn thing to make society better. Honestly, if DED hadn’t mentioned it I wouldn’t know a damn thing these jokers said recently.

Apple Vision Pro is motivating a giant California health provider
How amazing it will be when these slim down in size approaching the dimensions of a pair of eyeglasses. Guaranteed that’s where it’s heading and Apple are the ones to pull it off properly done.

Notifications in iOS 17 are too quiet, and there's nothing you can do about it
You bet. People have to complain about something. I appreciate the change.Graeme000 said:Ooo this is a welcome change! No more constant dings of other people receiving messages or getting updates. -
Activists agitate for 'iPhone infinity' with AI-generated Tim Cook, promise protests
But they never do that do they. It’s easier to go out and annoy the public by doing dumb sh*t in the name of protest. After Apple’s announcement on Tuesday you think they would call it off. But nah it’s Apple so full speed ahead.Kierkegaarden said:I have a suggestion for these lunatics — make your own product, and sell it the way you want to.

Apple Vision Pro research and early work was hidden in plain sight
Appreciate you helping the shortsighted among us to think outside the box. Most people only look at the limitations in life and not the possibilities. We have resources to use to our advantage but no one especially the education system teaches us how. 👍🏾danox said:jfabula1 said:
That price is worth my one month mortgage payment, definitely not for me. I will be outside looking IN.JP234 said:There should be, somewhere out there, a market analysis to determine the point of diminishing returns comparing markup/volume ratios.
"From" $3499 is too expensive for what VisionPro represents at this time. Yeah, I'm impressed with it. A lot. Am I impressed enough to buy one without asking, "Will this add $3,500 (or more) of value to my work or home life?" The answer is, right now VP offers nothing that is unavailable in some other, albeit less impressive format. Yet. There are plenty of ways to spend "from" $3,500 (plus tax, lens correction and AppleCare) that would equal or surpass the benefit I'd derive from a headset.Dump the floating windows. The market for VP as a work tool is too niche. The transparency feature seems impressive at first, but you could also just take them off when you want to talk to someone in the room. Is that worth an extra whatever? And why do we need to create an artificial representation of ourselves NOT wearing the headset when using Facetime? Let your contacts see that you're wearing them, and envy you. Or take them off.
Do what's necessary to get the price to $1,999, and add an eSIM. Now there's mass market appeal. Keep the $3,499 model for the upscale customer, call it VisionPro Ultra or something so they'll have something to brag about.Then invest that 3,500 dollars into buying Apple shares, and in the time that it would take to complete a four-year degree you can buy five Apple Vision Pros at the end or just continue investing, stop thinking short term.Also note if you had invested that same $3500 just after Apple 7 to 1 split and just added just 10 shares per year through the 4 to 1 split and just kept on investing, you would be in a position to buy 20 Apple Vision Pros today.
