  • Unsurprisingly, Mark Zuckerberg believes Meta Quest 3 is the 'better product, period'

    The AVP is a low end disruption device. It does fewer things than the Quest, but it does those things EXTREMELY well. And a lot of the things the AVP does not do right now are clearly going to be available via software updates - the processing power on this thing exceeds that of an iPad Pro, where several such features already exist.

    Just like with the iPhone, Apple wants to be sure it has nailed the interaction model and can build on a solid foundation so it can scale to tens (if not hundreds) of millions of users.

    As for Zack's comments about the mobile space being 'closed' because of what Apple did... (a) there's a company called Google, you may have heard they have a mobile OS; (b) despite the protestations of several developers there is still money to be made in mobile; (c) a significant number of customers prefer Apple's approach; and (d) Facebook is charging a larger platform fee for the Quest than Apple does for iOS.

  • There's a Mac audio bug that may have existed for more than 20 years

    Imagine shrugging and thinking to yourself “eh, it’s not a crisis, I’ll fix it Tuesday” every month for 20 years … :lol: 
    From what's been reported, this is standard procedure for Apple: bugs/issues from new releases get priority over old ones. I'm not surprised that something like this has happened; with software of even moderate complexity there are always bugs that will never be fixed because more important stuff crops up.

    Of course, if Steve had ever encountered this issue...

  • Apple Watch Series X won't work with old bands, claims leaker

    If Apple switches to a magnetic system for connecting watch bands it would make sense to make a magnetic adapter for the existing watch bands.

  • Masimo open to an Apple Watch settlement, if Apple would only call

    On the topic of the supposed attempt by Apple to thwart the ban with a software update, Kiani doubted it would work. "It shouldn't, because our patents are not about the software. They are about the hardware with the software."

    Nonsense. If the functionality is not available it doesn't matter how that was achieved.

    Or maybe Apple should just buy Masimo.  Masimo owns multiple names in audio like Marantz, Denon and Bowers Wilkins.  Apple would acquire not only some great medical products but some audio also.   
    I wonder if Apple is thinking about potential conflicts in the audio space. They can always just buy Masimo and divest the parts of it they don't want, but that's not really the Apple Way (i.e. isolate just the things you need and only get those).
