  • Sit or stand: What to think about when using Apple Vision Pro

    I’ve always assumed that I would be sitting down on a couch while using it.

    Why is there a typo? What is the typo? What should the headline read?

  • Understanding spatial design for visionOS

    I think that I would prefer immersion over Passthrough. For me, I think Passthrough might be more distractive. Of course, I also don’t have a family. Passthrough might be more practical if you’re surrounded by family.

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

    My original plan, when I saw the product intro, was to buy the Vision Pro when it came out this year. But I have now decided to give it a pass. A hard pass. This product is not going much of anywhere. It will have some important niche uses, but even that will take a few years. (If you think I am mistaken, do correct me; the general level of "meh" as reflected in the lack of enthusiasm for it in this forum supports my views).

    As a shareholder and a four-decade customer of Apple, I truly hope Cook et al. have something more needle-moving up their sleeves as a next product or service. 

    For the first time since the early-to-mid 90s, I am worried about Apple's growth prospects or rather, the seeming lack of any. Revenues have been flatlining-to-declining, and I hope that does not continue (although I am pessimistic, at least over the next year).
    I don’t get it. What changed between watching the intro and now? I don’t know if it will be worth the money, but I might buy one. I would probably use it to watch TV shows and movies and web surfing. I agree with you that it is a niche product, but I knew that after watching the intro.

  • Apple Vision Pro launch quantities rumored to be far tighter than previously estimated

    Why is he continuing to make comments like this?  There is no way that this will ever be verified, unless Apple announces pre-order numbers on 2/1.  If he’s close, does he get a cookie? 

    As seems to be the case lately, Kuo Doesn’t Know™️.

    The man seems to be jumping at straws to stay relevant around this new product.
    The Vision Pro is clearly a new device category if one believes Apple's marketing.  So *iff* it's a success, it should have its own category during Apple's financial reporting.  But I doubt it will be successful from a financial perspective, so Apple might clump it into the "wearable" category to hide from investors its minuscule contribution.
    How would it not be verified? I'm pretty sure analysts will have a pretty good idea after it launches whether the real number is closer to 80,000 or whether it's closer to 400,000.
