    Spatial Audio quality from the speakers is entirely missing from the review. 
    The audio is quite nice. You have nothing in your ear yet you get directional audio that sound like it's coming from a set of AirPods.

  • Apple Vision Pro battery cable is removable if you try hard enough

    I wonder if the cable frays but the battery is still good if Apple will allow the user to just replace the cable.
    That counts as a service repair which I believe is $30 with Apple Care

  • Is Apple's App Store a monopoly or a solution?

    Maybe not insult other brands while making a fanboy esque article and even if you do at least state facts.
    You can make several of your points because they are your opinion, but attacking the writer or the publisher for the content of the piece are against forum rules. Have a conversation and provide evidence for your claims, but don't go out of your way to call someone a fanboy or discredit the author's piece.

    If you're going to claim something is a lie, we'd prefer you reach out via email with information supporting your claims so we can address the issue. All you're doing here is silencing discourse with incendiary comments.

    Don' make us have to warn you again. Your post history is short, so you're likely not aware of the forum rules. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/184333/appleinsiders-updated-commenting-guidelines/p1

  • Apple Vision Pro is already a win for Apple & consumers

    Burden of proof is one of the basic concepts in critical thought. Go take a logic class and it will be one of the first concepts covered. 

    In critical thought/logic the burden of proof is the responsibility of the person making the claim.  In this case that is you. That you have declined to offer any proof and are falling back on “go look at the information yourself” just underscores how weak your argument is. 

    That's all well and good, but what people on the internet seem to always forget is:

    1. this isn't debate class or any form of official discussion where burden of proof applies
    2. I don't owe you anything.
    3. this is easily verifiable information. The burden of proof is usually only required when the information isn't self evident.

    I can present you with a couple links if you insist:

    https://appleinsider.com/articles/15/06/08/apple-reveals-watchos-2-3rd-party-complications-nightstand-mode-native-apps-more

    https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/09/13/everything-you-need-to-know-about-watchos-3-for-apple-watch

    the updates in watchOS 2 and 3 are often discussed as full redesigns to how the device worked. So much about how the watch works today wasn't introduced until these releases.

    besides, I don't think the disagreement was about what I said, but the magnitude of the change. And that is subjective.

    the dumbest part of this entire exchange is there has always been a link on the term "watchOS 2" in the text taking you to a page that explains *the entire release history of watchOS*. But clearly that was too difficult to parse as "burden of proof" so I've added the watchOS 2 announcement link next to it. If you can't figure it out from there, I don't know what to tell you.

    I don't see that as dramatic. That's standard project engineering on a given schedule and budget. You ship, then you iterate. The first couple of iterations of the product have to be good enough and sell in enough numbers to eventually fund iterations of successive generations. Changes are always made to provide the best features and features that aren't used are removed.

    This is going to the Vision Pro. It's at a minimum viable state, and is going to go through a lot of iteration. Some of the advertised features today will be dropped, others will be leaned into and new ones created.

    I'm just tired of hearing people say the original Apple Watch was not a health and fitness device and Apple had to change direction. That is simply not true.
    yeah, we agree on all these points.
