Time to cue the right-to-repair brigade…

Personally I think the tethered battery controversy is a but overblown as it removes weight from the headset though I find it hard to believe it isn’t swappable on the fly…do any actual owners have confirmation of this?

The battery is not hot swappable. If you disconnect the battery, the AVP will turn off.  It is its only power supply.   You can of course, plug in another power source, into the USB-C port to use the AVP and charge up the battery.

I really can’t justify an iPad Air or Pro based on my uses for a tablet, and I desperately need to replace my iPad Gen 5.  But the Gen 9 and Gen 10 iPads are just deficient in enough areas to not be desirable to me.  Apple seems to limit some features on these basic iPads (no USB-C, or compatible with Apple Pencil 1, keyboard limitations, display resolution, etc.) that I am really hoping that the Gen 11 iPad will have all of the essentials that I seek in order to replace my Gen 5 iPad and last me for another 5-6 years.

The 10th Gen iPad has a USB-C port for charging, an external monitor, and to charge a first generation Apple Pencil.   The 9th gen iPad was the last one with a lightning port. 

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Anyone who buys this on eBay because they can't wait a month or so is just stupid- and not just spending needless thousands more for an already expensive item.  You also need to have the right size light seal and straps for it to work correctly on your head. 

The straps come in the typical small, medium, large, etc,  but the seals seem to have a quite of number of variations.  (I'll find out next week.)

This “analyst” had a target price of $116 three years ago.   He is always wrong.  Has been for many years.  Amazing how someone like this still has his job 

Simple, he comes out with a warning like this, the stock price falls. (Right now, it's around 186.88, down $5.65).  His clients, etc. buy up a boat load later on today.  The price will still be down from yesterday, but their buying gets it to recover a bit.  

Within a couple weeks, this is all forgotten.  Then VisionPro comes out in a month or so and regardless of how expensive it is, and how limited an audience it appeals to, and how expensive it is, is does sell and creates crowds of people at Apple stores waiting to try it, and the stock goes back up.    The same people who buy on today's fall, sell their holdings and make a few dollars per share on the short term trade. 

Turning the Mac Studio Display into a 27" iMac can't take all that much work.

The display is the same at the 27" iMac that went away a couple years ago.  It already has speakers, power supply, camera (with center stage), fans, and USB-C/Thunderbolt ports.   All it needs is the logic board from a MacBook Pro. a headphone jack, add a couple more Thunderbolt ports, and, poof!, it's an iMac.
