  • Hands on with Apple Vision Pro in the wild

    phillyfanatic09phillyfanatic09
    The clarification on the HoloLens actually using holograms is important but misses the bigger point, which is that the VisionPro is aiming for many of the same use cases as the HoloLens does (as it limps along until MS kills it.)

    The HoloLens 2 projects a 2k image onto a clear visor so the wearer can still see their surroundings. This approach has pros and cons vs a pass through mode but the biggest advantage is that it allows images to be projected onto the wearers vision without using the camera array and processing power required by the VisionPro.

    Apple has spent tremendous resources designing the VisionPro to have a terrific pass through mode and seems to have mostly succeeded. I’m sure the VisionPro will be able to use this in ways that the literal vision pass through of the HoloLens cannot but it’s not surprising that developers are trying some of the same applications with it.

  • Apple slammed with $1 billion class action lawsuit in UK over 30% App Store fee

    phillyfanatic09phillyfanatic09
    It’s interesting that these litigants are calling the fee excessive but clearly want access to Apple’s customers. They want Apple to host their content, handle updates, payment processing, taxes and maintain the App Store at little to no cost to them.

    How is this different than going to a large retail chain and demanding you be allowed to place products on their shelves, use their cashiers and warehouses but the retailer keeps 3% of the sales? No retailer would take that offer and no court would make them.

    The argument that consumers have to use the App Store soon won’t even be valid as side loading becomes available. And kudos to AppleInsider for not calling Apple’s fees a “tax”.

  • TikToker shocked by high Verizon bill over 'free' Apple Watch promo

    phillyfanatic09phillyfanatic09
    One thing to know about Verizon is that they only sell Apple Watches and iPads with cellular service. I’m not saying this woman should have known that but it’s something everyone should keep in mind.

  • If both your iPhone and passcode get stolen, you're in deep trouble

    phillyfanatic09phillyfanatic09
    Do this immediately as soon as you know your phone is stolen. The thieves will be racing to sign you out of your watch as soon as they get a few minutes to access your Apple ID.

  • Logitech MX Keys Review: Smart choice for multi-device users

    phillyfanatic09phillyfanatic09
    Those labels are for Windows (Ctrl, Alt, Start) or Mac OS (Cmd, Opt). So the function depends on what OS you are in at the moment.
