  • FaceTime comes to Apple TV with the tvOS 17 update

    It was very cool to see Apple TV return to WWDC after a few years of being ignored. I’m glad they’ve been paying more attention to it lately, though I still wish they would put the remote battery status in the new Control Center.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    I don't think people really get it - Apple's Vision Pro has 5000 patents and that includes UX and that effectively prevents competitors from copying the whole implementation of operating system and the hardware configurations. Just watch competitors try to get away with copying Apple's Vision Pro. 

    There is literally no "true" operating system that is tightly integrated like Apple Vision Pro. We've seen competition AR glasses and they sucked. Their UX is terrible and awkward. The UI in Apple Vision Pro is extremely intuitive and natural. 


    How true. This is a point that has largely been ignored so far. Personally, I thought that Stage Manager was going to be a primary component of the UI, but I didn’t see it anywhere on my first viewing. Instead, the UI they did present was both familiar and logical. If you’ve ever used an Apple device, this will be an intuitive experience. 

    Then there is the way they will integrate with, or act as an extension to, all your current devices and share a common design across all of them. Nobody can come close to offering that type of experience. Nobody.

    I think once Vision is actually released, this is a topic that will heat up.

    What a bunch of negative DORKS on this site. Much like the iPhone, until you use it you can't understand its utility.

    At least be intelligent or insightful if you're going to be dorks.
    Um… EVERYONE knew the iPhone was a hit right off the bat. 
    Nope. Sorry, but that is completely inaccurate. The nerds loved the iPhone, yes. But to the regular consumer they were derided for many many reasons…

    •They were too expensive at first, necessitating a price drop less than 2 months after launch. 

    •They were only available through AT&T. 

    •They only worked on the pre-3G EDGE network. 

    •Third party apps were only available after jailbreaking the device. 

    •It wasn’t a Blackberry. 

    There list goes on, but the point remains…they only sold a few million the first year they were available. They were far from a hit that first year, they were more like a curiosity to most. The iPhone May have been the Time magazine Invention of the Year, but it took 1-2 years before it was actually a hit.

    It does not seem like a very Apple-y product, but that's not unexpected either. It's a first gen, and according to reports was intended for developers anyway. Three years out they may have something. At the moment it seems like it was pushed out to the retail market before it's fully hatched, and I'm not sure why altho I could guess there's some other nearly-finished products from potential competitors coming before the year is out. 

    No doubt some regular users here will rush to buy a Vision Pro anyway; after all, it's from Apple. By the time it's fully developed in gen 3 I would expect it to be half to a third of the current price. That's when it may capture my interest.  Or not.
    Not fully hatched? 
    It seems like they put a lot of love and energy into addressing all the shortcomings other AR headset suffer from. So I’m just curious as to what you need to see for it to be considered “fully hatched ”?

    Dude, it's gatorguy, what did you expect? If he said he loved it, we'd all need to press him to get a brain MRI, stat, to find the tumor.
    Right on. I’m not familiar with him or his brand of negativity.

    To me it’s the start of a new journey, only time will tell how it pans out, largely depending on what developers do with it, but if it’s like iPod, iPhone, airPods, iPad, Watch… 
    This.
