So all of the moaning this past year about how Apple doesn't support RCS but NO mention that it requires carrier support too.

Why bother posting about this, directing more people to click on it. It only encourage more of this type of garbage YouTube content.

So I have a VisionPro and I don't really see a less expensive and less capable VR headset as a want. It will still have the same problems of weight, comfort, isolation, etc.

I would really like a set AR glasses.

All for thinner but more importantly lighter.

My new M4 iPad Pro on paper is not much different from the M1 iPad Pro it replaced but in really world use it is very, very significant.

I'd love a thinner M4 Macbook Pro w/4 Thunderbolt/USB4 ports that drop the dumb a** legacy slots and weighs less. My current M1 Macbook Pro is a boat anchor and not sometime I look forward to putting into my backpack.

I'd also love a thinner and again lighter iPhone who's weight isn't trying to pull down my pants or makes me wear a belt to stop it.

Thinner == lighter battery b/c Apple will not let it reduce current hours of use, which BTW, my new M4 iPad Pro seems to last much longer doing the same tasks.

Will be really interesting to see how these web based platforms, where you are the product, address questions related to privacy.

For sure they cannot offer what Apple is doing.

Also interesting how they played down the Apple data center chips.

No they cannot, but it doesn’t matter much. Consumers have largely become very comfortable sacrificing privacy for convenience. There’s a pretty narrow subset of people for whom privacy still matters, perhaps in enterprise. The rest are happy — or oblivious —  to trade it for the next splashy thing. If you thought people were willing to give up their data to social media, just wait and see the level of detail they share with a “personal“ AI assistant. 

Consumers are NOT "comfortable" sacrificing privacy. They want to share pictures w/family and friend, they want to create web sites for free, to do that they must, as in they have, no choice, but to acquiesce and agree to the terms of service which are so daunting and non-negotiable.

As you say people are oblivious, I seriously doubt, if ANYone understands why ChatGPT release last year. Not to say checkout our cool chatbot. No they hit a brick wall and needed users (beta testers) to exercise the technology and train the models so it could grow to the next plateau.
