How does Sweeney keep his job at this point? The losses as a result of removing Fortnite from iOS have got to be in the billions of dollars by now, in addition to the millions in legal fees; and it was all for nought. Surely his one man crusade will not be looked upon kindly by his board and investors. 

Am I the only one that thinks that Apple will hold a Vision Pro focused event prior to release to demonstrate some new use cases now that developers have been able to spend some time with the device? Or am I way off here? 

They shouldn't compromise on anything. If they start making compromises the Apple Vision ends up just becoming the Meta Quest with a different logo slapped on it. Just wait it out and let the Gen 1 Vision Pro become the lower cost entry level option when component prices drop as Gen 2 and Gen 3 devices get released. They just need to follow the same pattern they've been using with the iPhone where the older gen device evolves into a lower entry cost phone as the new iPhone is released. It's a proven strategy so why fix what isn't broken.

Thank you for saying this out loud, William.  Good grief that was brutal.  As I mentioned in another post "saving the planet" isn't a selling point for me when it comes to purchasing an iPhone.  And is it just me or are my white colleagues being excluded from every photo shot and from being presenter?  Blacks and Asians must represents the majority of the populace here in the states.  Apple thinks they're being clever.  Nice try.  Just more virtue signaling like what was done with "Mother Nature".

Oh good. One of these guys (insert rolling eyes emoji here).

I think you did more to bring down the article than everyone else combined. I assure you William will be absolutely despondent at the fact that his one supporter in the comments section was you. Good job.

It IS a consumer win.

And it's a win we wouldn't have gotten if the EU hadn't forced Apple to do it.

90% of consumers who are upgrading from an earlier iPhone will not feel this way. That’s suddenly a whole sh*t ton of cables and accessories and money invested into the ecosystem over the years, that are all suddenly rendered useless. Having to start over and re-buy these things will not be looked at positively. Most people aren’t video editors who need lightning fast transfer speeds, they just want their things to work.
