Jon Stewart became a problem for Apple TV+
Exactly my point. Your comment clearly shows that you think human chromosomes make up a binary system, yet it never has and this information isn't remotely new. There are many chromosomal variation, as well other genetic factors that could you easily label someone as male or female based on appearance — and I'm talking about looking right at their junk, not how they're dressed — to make incorrect determinations about what chromosomes they have. In other words, layman shouldn't make claims of "science facts" without actually knowing the science or the facts.9secondkox2 said:

generica icons that can be represented however the artist wants isn't the same as chromosome icons (XY) which have imagery that depicts the scientific facts.

What do you think this is, then? (see below) With the genderized (i.e. made up by the clothing industry) colors, even. Arguably these are more recognizable to a wider international audience than the Mars and Venus symbols of astrology. If it’s important to you because you are in a biology field … well, there’s always the option of another keyboard OR just using the actual word.pembroke said:Need to ask this somewhere….
iOS 17.3.1 …. Apple have removed the symbols for male and female but have retained the symbol for Transgender (sic) ⚧️.This is creepy. What on earth are Apple doing? This is remarkably idiotic and a game changer for me as an owner of many iPhones since inception. But I WILL switch to Android if Apple persists on this gaslighting nonsense.
P.S. - Please make sure you understand terms before using them. You’re 100% not being gaslight by Apple. However, there certainly are places you could have brought this up that are undoubtedly more appropriate than here. Also, not for nuthin’, but any fixation on gender symbols that makes someone feel they need to switch computing platforms — that’s super creepy to me.
In my haste I omitted the xx or female
good catch Karen.Back to original programming.

Unsurprisingly, Mark Zuckerberg believes Meta Quest 3 is the 'better product, period'
I think you're right. And I don't think they need to. I've made this comparison before, but Blackberry boomed after the iPhone was released because it legitimized the smartphone market for the average user. I think AVP will also cause a major jump in VR sales for Meta. I also think that unless Blackberry which was dying even after its sales were booming because they weren't able to keep up which allowed Android to get hold, I do think Meta is poised to take up the larger, lower-end market that Apple won't quickly or fully enter.Wesley Hilliard said:
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.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.
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.

He noted a feature AVP has and said MQ will get it back in a future release. That's not a good position for the current market leader to make regarding a newly released and first release from a company that has never made a product for this category before.sflocal said:Sounds like Zuckerberg said in not so many words that his product is already obsolete.

Apple Vision Pro now has 1,000 native apps on the visionOS App Store
Most of the apps that I've used have looked pretty great. I only wish I could share the environment with other AVP users with some of the apps.
