  • Future Apple Vision Pro may use liquid for lenses instead of glass

    I’m shocked that the displays aren’t able to dynamically adjust the picture to act like a lens would
    That would take a lot of space. Imagine a DSLR camera attached to each of your eyes.

  • Microsoft dumps Cortana leaving Siri as one of the last smart assistants

    Although I prefer Siri for the Apple ecosystem integration, Google assistant and Alexa's death might be overstated here. I think Apple is the least likely to drop services compared to these other players. Apple tends to stick with what they start. Google assistant and Alexa are entrenched enough they will certainly continue on with Google continuing to be the most capable assistant in everything except privacy. Siri used to have the advantage of on-device processing, but Google and Amazon have since caught up in that. Alexa's team was significantly reduced but I don't think Google is stealing their voice assistant people to work on language models.

  • Special iPadOS 17 version for bigger screens rumor makes no sense

    Apple is unlikely to support daisy chaining monitors due to use of retina resolutions, but it might be possible in USB4v2 where there could be a lot more downstream data available. However I think that would require DidplayPort changes and it will take longer then 2024 to support and release compatible monitors.

    Sounds like a bunch of rumors to hedge their bets. Can control things using hands, like how?? Unless there is something more than the glasses, then no. Apple is working on Apps before it launches.... well duh, it isn't like they are going to release it without any apps. If they could have it capable of running millions of existing apps, that would be a game changer.... if done well. Besides price, for me it needs to deal with glasses. I have tried VR glasses and some didn't work well with glasses.
    Rumors are it will require magnetic snap in prescription lenses to keep it thin.

    If true, it will mean marketing needs to do a great job explaining what this product is and who it’s for in order to set expectations. 

    Maybe one option would be to lease (not sell) it to registered developers only. 
    Why would they lease it? That doesn't make sense.
