  • Senator Warren wades into Apple's Beeper fight with irrelevant antitrust rhetoric

    She is probably speaking to the anti-business far left. Politicians are often idiots, but no way she wouldn’t see how problematic it is to open iMessage to other parties without opening a can of worms. RCS is Apple’s answer to modernizing interoperable communication.

    Am as curious about how the stores will handle this as much as I am about the actual product. It's one thing to put out a rack of iPhones or a case of Watches and let people fumble with them. Still another to put out Air Pod Maxes to put on their heads. But AVP goes on a user's face, has potentially Rx lenses, a custom pairing and fit to make it work...and...is all done while covid is still about. I'm guessing this isn't walk in and try - it is likely sign up for an appointment. Wonder how much they will charge.
    Curious if the Rx lenses can be paid for with vision insurance and/or HSAs like with other headsets.
    3rd parties will likely make compatible lenses, these are pretty low cost:

    They are so low cost that Apple could (and should) include them in the price.

    This is for people who don't wear contacts and will be around half of potential buyers. They can check the most common lenses needed and stock accordingly.
    It doesn’t sound like it will be open to third parties based on rumors. If they do it likely wouldn’t be sanctioned.

    Hopefully Vision Pro and similar devices help cure vision problems in the future. Too much near focus on iPhones and books in kids is a major cause of nearsightedness. If kids can adopt AR glasses and do more studying and social media from a larger virtual screen located further away it should help.

    I heard the same when I asked about it at an Apple Store. I wouldn’t be surprised if the waiting list starts in January.

    Premium Connectivity is just the cellular connection. I have a feeling this is misreported. It probably just doesn’t work without some sort of internet connection. No local caching.
