  • Apple Vision Pro customers face a 25-minute in-store sales pitch

    Sounds like the right way to approach it. You also don’t want a bunch of randoms trying it out just for kicks and potentially braking something. Basically you want serious or just interested parties trying it on. 
    You mean like they do every other Apple product? Going in and trying something is one of the ways you discover a desire to purchase. 

    A supervised demo is fine for a fragile device. But a 25 minute speech means something’s wrong. 

    The whole thing is starting to look convoluted 
    25 min speech? 

    Either you didn’t read the article or you didn’t understand it.

    Apparently you didn’t read the part that clearly reads “SALES PITCH”

    buck up on basic vocab before embarasssing yourself further. 

    Whether spoken word only or with visual aids, a pitch is at its core - a *gasp!* speech. 
    That Part is the Headline - which rarely, if ever, accurately reflects the information presented in the article.

  • Satechi reveals game-changing 145W GaN travel charger at CES 2024

    Not sure the bedside table is the best place for that many Lithium cells being charged while stacked on top of each other.

    Why anyone would install software from a man with the maturity level of tadpole is beyond me.
    Given the number of successful products from men with the maturity level of a tadpole. Email systems seems one of the low potential harm products

  • Big changes expected for iPad family in 2024

    How are there big changes when Gurman has no idea?  'A revamp, but no mention of what that entails'.  Typical Gurman response.

    They can do whatever hardware changes they want, it still runs iPadOS and baby iPad apps, so the base model and the iPad Pro both do the exact same thing, with similar performance.  Neither can take full advantage of the SoC.    The only real revamp was in 2018.  Since then, each new iPad has been exactly like the previous one.  So they are going to waste M3 chips in an iPad when they should be using them in the rest of the Mac lineup.  Same reviews each year, great hardware, but limited by the OS.

    Apple needs to scrap iPadOS and just put macOS on the iPad since the hardware is now the same.
    Or do what they need to do, let complex Apps run on a sandboxed OS (or lift the sandbox*). Seems to me that iPadOS is already as capable as macOS already geared to multiple input methods, it is really lacking in some flexibility that is needed for more complex apps. Scripting, Peripherals, etc, that surely someone in Apple is smart enough to find away of working that doesn't break the security model. 


    *not advocating for this option just acknowledging it.

  • Rumor: USB-C Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Trackpad are coming in spring 2024

    They should add wireless charging like AirPods case to all 3.
