  • Looks like YouTube will make an Apple Vision Pro app after all

    Given the volume of AVP sales so far, I get not wanting to produce a native AVP app right away, but considering Youtube (and Netflix) can be used in AVP Safari, it seemed strange to me that both those companies didn't at least allow the iPad app to run out of the gate.

    Speaking of Youtube, I've looked at a few of the AVP reviews there (in particular Marques Brownlee), and I have to say I am way more impressed with AVP than I thought I'd be. (What really helps is the fact that one can screen record the AVP visuals, so you get a pretty good idea of what the wearer sees).
    One thing to remember what watching those screen recordings is that AVP foveates the display, spending extra cycles to make sure the area of the screen you're looking at is razor sharp and such, not spending extra cycles on the parts of the screen you're NOT looking at.

    So some screenshots and recordings can look blurry, unless you're looking at the same area where the wearer was looking.

    I’m glad that there is a more manual way of establishing the connection, it will be pretty cool to be able to connect a VP to a MacBook that’s stashed in a bag while on the train.
    According to the video on the following page (at 1:50), the tracking doesn't work reliably on a train for some reason:

    https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/235305/apple-vision-pro-can-be-used-in-public-but-mind-your-manners

    The video slides out of view when the train starts moving. It might be a software bug that will be fixed because it should be able to track from the cameras and ignore the movement from the train.
    Wonder if it makes a difference if you're looking INTO the train (down the train, lengthwise), vs across the train where you're starting out a window at a moving background...

  • Why Apple Vision Pro in 2024 won't be like 1984

    hmlongcohmlongco
    They've only known a world where Apple hardware is desirable, elegant, and updated for free every year for many years after purchase.

    Oh!!! Where can I get my free update for my M1 Max MBP?????

  • Apple Vision Pro resale prices on eBay are ridiculous

    They'll never do it, but eBay should have a moratorium on the ability to resell new devices within a few months of launch. Don't care if it's a Vision Pro, new iPhone, or the latest Xbox or Playstation console. Need to shut scalpers down.
    It is a purely elective purchase. No one is forced to buy it at the higher prices.
    And every one scalped is a device that could have been available for someone else to purchase. 

    Another possibility is for Apple to require your Apple ID for purchase and then "lock" the device to that ID for a limited period of time.
