Kuo: Apple's 2024 starts with Apple Vision Pro, ends with a new Mac event
So, you want this device to be like a Mac instead of a completely new product? I already have several Macs which i love. But, i doubt putting up with a Mac on my head is something i would want. It will be interesting of course to see what the real demand and/or use case is for it. Thinking back to the TV market, they tried to market and hype 3D TV’s. Nobody wanted to sit around with light weight glasses. What about curved TV’s ? Another gimmick nobody wants.brianus said:
I wish that were so, but it's more like a fully capable iPad Pro - visionOS is essentially a fork of iPadOS and the apps are updated from their iPad, not Mac, counterparts. The Mac integration we saw in the demonstration was very underwhelming; it would have been awesome if Mac apps could float independently in mixed reality, but instead we just get a mirrored view of the Mac's desktop - in other words, they are still bound to a small rectangle in front of your face rather than allowed to move all around you. Meh. Since this is being marketed as a "pro" device to users with fat wallets, I was really hoping they'd make Mac integration the priority but nope.dave marsh said:I can see a use case for home bound users with limited space using it as their primary computer. The headset is in reality a fully capable Mac that just uses a different interface for interacting with its apps. The entertainment side is just a plus. Also, for those of us with diminishing vision, a device to blow up screens to whatever size is comfortable for reading/interacting is enticing. Look at the cost of a MacBook Pro or Studio w/display and the price is not that out of line. High end, certainly, but not exorbitant.

Apple shows off next generation CarPlay in Porsche and Aston Martin cars
Lol, we completely disagree, carplay or any other infotainment system is the last reason to decide on a vehicle. It’s absolutely not important. I already have an iphone, i don’t need or want my car to be an iphone LOL. There are things about cars that are much more important than supporting a cellphone. You don’t understand that. But okay, it is what it is.Jeff_in_TX said:Very very cool. This solidifies my reasoning to never buy (or rent if I can help it) a car without CarPlay support.
I wonder if Apple is letting, or going to let, automakers have a CarPlay OS (or maybe part of it) to run on their automotive computers. Might help with all the displays since CarPlay is getting so extensive in the vehicle.

Apple shows off next generation CarPlay in Porsche and Aston Martin cars
Has anyone considered there is already too much computerization in cars? We’ve been watching dashboards made of quality materials and craftsmanship being replaced by mass market touchscreens. Is this truly good for the automotive industry and consumer? Do i really need all this and to know somebody texted me while i’m driving and enjoying the outside world? I actually just heard that VW and others are going back to tactile knobs and controls. There is a time to enjoy driving and a time to monitor phone. I rest my case.

Three possible designs for iPhone 16 revealed in leak
You may be being sarcastic. But, do you really want a folding screen? What a gimmick,AppleZulu said:What. It doesn't have a folding screen?
i’ve seen some of those phones with folding screen and for me it’s zero interest. The simplicity of “candy bar” style we have is great.

Ugreen Foldable Kickstand Battery review: Large hybrid battery
This looks nice. I would not recommend having batteries like this in your pocket so the bulk that the author mentions is no issue to me. It would be terrible if a battery exploded in somebody’s pocket. Why even take that risk, should not be in pockets.
