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

    I did not buy Apple Watch when it first came out. Because I don't see how it will be useful to me. In fact, I didn't buy it until the series 8. That is when I see my wife using hers to read messages. Then I realized it is very convenient. I made up my mind. After the purchase, its fitness app started bugging me for activities. It made me aware that I am lacking movement by staying in front of the computer all day. 

    It seems Apple is able to cultivate its own ecosystem by creating features user wants. Right now, I don't see a compelling reason how VP can make my life better. But as time goes, the people working on other Apple devices will implement things that make VP works better. So eventually I might buy one because I am a complete Apple user.

    This is better than headsets from Meta and Alphabets before. More complicated design. The price is worth for the people that want to use it.

    I cashed out.  Maybe I'll regret it, but I'm expecting a slump after the event.
    If investor believe it is AI related, AAPL will jump to $200.

    it occurs to me that an unstated reason here might be that Apple has superior marketing. For example, Apple does not have the camera with the absolute best specs, but Apple has a camera that is better than *most* Android phone cameras, and Apple is very good about marketing it. So for somebody with an Android phone that has a mediocre camera, they might be more aware of the better camera in an iPhone than they are of the 'best' camera in another Android phone (that isn't as effectively marketed). 
    The video functions on an iPhone is unsurpassed, and the ability (programs) to edit such a video is also untouched by the Android crowd, Apple it’s always been about the total package, and currently Android phones and tablets are far behind when it comes to the total package, yes, it does cost more. Also note the programs to edit audio, and pictures is also far beyond the Android world. 

    What is the difference between a iPhone and Android phone when it comes to taking pictures 98-99% to 100? Hardly worth the trade-offs, unless you’re just going for price, and the resale value of an used Android phone/tablet is nothing at the end, and what is the affective service life of an Android phone/tablet certainly not longer than the top-of-the-line iPhone or iPad.

    Marketing means nothing if you can’t live up to a certain level of quality, and the Android Ecosystem is lacking when it comes to a complete solution in the smart phone/tablet area, and Chromebooks? They are just a very clever way to gather information for Google. It’s actually quite brilliant like having Eric Emerson Schmidt on the Board of Directors at Apple.
    Apart from the first part of the first paragraph, none of that is actually true.

    On video, Apple is famous for shipping onboard storage options that for most people are inadequate for quality video.

    Photo camera technology is far more appealing to the vast majority of users and Apple has been years behind the pack for a while now and, despite catching up in some areas, remains behind.

    Cameras, not performance, is what has kept the smartphone segment moving for the last six years. 

    Here’s something from an iPhone user on a new Android phone:

    "Three words: best. camera. Ever."

    Let's not even talk about the absolutely stunning design and material build of that one (every one of which is unique):

    https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/huawei-p60-pro-rococo-pearl-design-shows-up-apple-samsung/

    It is behind (and has been for years) on charging and battery technology. Wired or otherwise. 

    While much has been said about SoCs, even here it left much to be desired with the sole exception of pure performance which happens to be something even iPhone users don't really perceive anyway.

    I cannot remember the last time anyone complained about speed on a flagship phone.

    Marketing is an essential point. It always has been. For Apple and everyone else. 

    And Apple isn't alone in the 'whole package' thing either. 

    If this survey is limited to the US market it might carry some (but ultimately little) weight. 

    It is claimed that Apple here (in Spain) recorded a 41% YoY drop for Q1 unit sales. That probably has a lot to do with pricing and marketing can only do so much. 
    You seem to have good experience using Android phone. Can I ask you a question? I have read many times Android fans including you claim their camera is better than iPhone. I have a suspicion that they are hiding some unhappy facts. I think Android phone camera videos have some quirks. They do not work as smoothly as iPhone. Am I right?
