    On top of parts, manufacturing and promotion, that sleepy process called "R&D" costs a good chunk of change, too, folks.
    Unclear how Apple might be factoring in software and media costs. Apple has a whole VR content studio that they might need to factor in to the cost until it possibly gets broken out in to a subscription later.

    If they can release a million in the first year, it would only be if they have already been stockpiling the displays for a year. 10 million seems unlikely unless they have another supplier coming onboard or if Apple convinced Sony to significantly increase production.

  • How Apple's 40 years of learning & iteration is powering Vision Pro

    I wouldn’t say Apple was outfoxed in the 90s. Apple just lost their way. It took Steve Jobs return and acquiring another operating system to get out of bad engineering decisions of the time. Apple needed a leader. At the time it was Steve Jobs correcting the ship. It is more Craig Federighi these days. Tim Cook has too many other responsibilities nor is it his expertise.

  • Cook wanted Apple and Google to be 'deep, deep partners'

    Frankly Google iOS apps are awful. They look way too much like Android apps often using UX that doesn’t make sense on iOS.

    I assume Sony currently supplies Apple at the moment. It will be some feat to best Sony IMHO.   Given Sony also provides sensors for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel, not to mention Sony's sensors are also used in a wide range of non-phone cameras, from point-and-shoots to professional DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Some major camera manufacturers that use Sony sensors include Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm. To add to Sony's impressive lineup, Sony's new sensor used in the global shutter technology in the A9III is a phenomenal achievement which I would have thought Apple would have lept at.
    It will be, but Apple also doesn't have to beat Sony to benefit from trying to compete with Sony. If Sony perceives Apple's intentions as a threat to their bottom line they can lower prices for Apple to make it less advantageous for Apple to move to a difference vendor.
    And that could be what's going on, of course, although I read it as not going to a different vendor, but rather going in-house.  As soon as I read about the global shutter sensors, I hoped Apple would be all over it; I would assume there would be some patent issues involved for Apple if they go it alone too.

    I always hoped Apple would buy Sony, after ESPN that is ;)
    Apple and Sony have a good relationship and a lot in common between their corporate cultures. Maybe Apple brings sensor design in house by acquiring Sony?

    I bet Apple Silicon would be great for PS6.
