  • Apple and OpenAI allegedly reach deal to bring ChatGPT functionality to iOS 18

    Highly confusing messaging around AI as of late. It looks like Apple would get a smorgasbord of LLM models, which doesn’t “feel” very Apple.

    We’ll see what it all means soon!

  • Apple Vision Pro earns prestigious Black Pencil design award

    I have an AVP at home, a developer kit version for work, which has an additional USBC connection sticking out for dev purposes.

    It is truly an alpha/beta product. It’s really heavy to wear and an unpleasant experience for sessions over 15 minutes. The FOV is the same, perhaps a bit worse, than the Quest 3.
    The eye tracking works really well, I love how easy it makes things compared to having to point at each button.
    The interface is minimalist, but to a point where you feel lost. It’s not always clear where you can go to or where you came from. 
    I just don’t believe in “spatial computing” the way Apple is selling it. Although it’s definitely different from the “Quest 3 one-app-at-a-time” approach akin to mobile phones, I just don’t see people using it because there is no added value. 
    Unless Apple starts investing in triple-A games for Mac, iOS/iPadOS and AVP by acquiring game studios and making unique content the same way they invest in AppleTV, they won’t attract an audience if they also don’t have any killer productivity apps to show that leverages the platform.
    This is a DOA product.

  • iPad Air hands on: A return to an affordable large-format iPad

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    Finally Apple got rid of 64gb, which was a disaster for people without know-how on storage. They’d buy an iPad and then realize quickly they were in trouble storage wise. 

    The iPad Air is the best product of the tablet family, unless you have younger kids - the 256gb regular iPad is the best one then, with more memory to store games and a chip that can run all games easily. 

    The worst of them is the iPad Pro, which targets an audience who hates the limitations of its operating system. Hopefully this will drastically improve in September with iPadOS 18.

    Apple getting these iPads out before the start of the 2024 back to school buying season is very important hopefully they will follow up by releasing the rest of the Mac lineup before the back to school (end of August/mid September buying season this year to maximize the available sales period.

    Perhaps the normal iPads - the Pro models are usually purchased by students due the high cost.
