  • Apple Vision Pro Travel Case review: too-expensive precision cushioning

    Guys, the molding in the interior is what makes it have no wiggle room. The inside is smaller than the area of the entire bag.

    also, this thing wouldn't fit in a 15L bag unless it was a wide backpack, not a thin laptop bag. I have the larger Nomatic bag and the Apple Vision Pro travel case is too thick for the bag to zip close without it bulging even if it's the only thing inside.

    The 15L Nomatic can be expanded to 21L. Only then can the travel case fit. But it takes up the entire middle compartment. It's so thick that all the interior pockets are useless except the top two.

    I suppose if all I carried was the MacBook Pro, cable case, and Apple Vision Pro, the Nomatic bag would suffice. But I think the point I was making was, that this case is so over large it's difficult to carry much else even with a large enough backpack to fit it.

    taking the strap off Apple Vision Pro to put it in a smaller case isn't a big ask. That 2 seconds of inconvenience is worth halving the volume taken up by Vision Pro and its accessories.

    this is a very large case. Don't know how I can put it any other way.

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

    Xed said:

    It's also worth noting that Apple doesn't usually compare itself to others so for Zuckerberg to make this claim is cringe from a marketing standpoint.
    Note that Apple will never have Tim Cook on social media talking about the pros and cons of buying a Pixel, Meta, or what have you. Samsung has mostly stopped its anti-Apple ad push for now, and Google cooled off the concept late in 2023 after it's silly Pixel ads.

    I think it's only a matter of time before we see Meta release ads comparing it's headset to Apple Vision Pro in one way or another.

  • Apple Vision Pro early review: a peek into the future of computing


    I would have dropped this first launch at the $1,500 price point, get these things everywhere and watch my stock skyrocket. 
    All I can say to this is nice things cost money and if Apple ran their company like this they would be irrelevant or bankrupt.

    This model is very well polished for a 1.0 and I expect we'll see a leap when the 2.0 comes out in 2026/2027.

    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
