Exciting feature...

Finally, a graphics card that I’m proud of, in a Mac....
Only took my whole life, but they finally figured it out, caught up to windows...

heheheh

Captain, I’m giving her all I’ve got!

Good. Let competition for customers determine what is acceptable, instead of biased or self-interested rules pushed by Washington.

You and many others on this site don’t seem to understand the true implications of this change.  ISPs could charge the consumer more in regions where they hold a monopoly, but most likely wouldn’t in competitive markets.
In reality ISPs will charge the Netflix, YouTube, Apple and Amazons of the world.  In turn, these companies will pass costs on to the consumer over time, an ISP Trojan Horse.  If there’s no direct accountability, why would an ISP not charge more to these companies?  Truely consider that statement, ISPs can create new revenue streams in perpetuity without oversight or becoming the bad guy.  Think you hate how cable companies bundle channels now, apply that concept to internet accessibility....

Alternatively, an ISP could block/slow any content competing with their own, or accelerate their own content free of charge while leaving competitors at subpar speed.

The problem here is that we lose protections from the wizards behind the proverbial curtain.
I for one don’t trust a single ISP, maybe Apple’s satellite initiative will save us all.

How horrifically depressing and dystopian.

True, horrifying to think of people locking themselves into a chosen reality, not a true reality.
Cant help but think about about some movies like Cloud Atlas where people no longer care about things unless it directly affects them.  Oh wait, we’re already there.

While everyone else is chasing flexible screens or another gimmick, Apple will allow you to see a screen on anything while sharing it with whomever you choose.
This is right up Apple’s alley, requiring extremely tight integration between software and hardware.  Delivering a flawless experience will cement Apple as the only real profit generating company in AR.

Good luck Samsung, even with Oculus hand outs you will not succeed in breaking this market.  This requires scales of economy and AI chips that you simply can’t copy.

Do you work for Apple PR or something?

You know official comments can’t be made.....
My company interfaces with Apple as a vendor, so not PR, as if that’s really needed.

Anyone with half an imagination can see where AI and wearables will collide.  From that, you can deduce the technological innovations necessary to reach such a consumer product.  Apple is the only company in the world that has almost every checkbox completed for the theoretical iSight...   Like that?
Apple Watch: full architecture on single chip, water resistance, micro cellular, Siri watch face(see below)
iPhone Camera: real-time image analysis
AR kit: AR assets and motion
faceID: depth mapping and eye tracking
A11: on device AI processing and composting
Siri: control & assistant features (Siri watch face becomes Siri smart interfaces)
Airpods: Seamless wireless connection and communication between separate ARglasses, image sharing.

Apple just has to wait out the miniaturization timeline while their scales of economy and tech improve.  Batteries will most likely be the hardest thing to tackle as cameras and processing are rather taxing.
