  • All the Apple subreddits set to go dark in protest of Reddit's API charges

    chutzpahchutzpah
    Once again, people want to use a thing they didn't build, and don't maintain, and they want to use it for free.  And when they cannot use it for free, they complain.

    Good luck with that.
    Did you not read the story either?

    The issue isn't with Reddit charging for access, it's to do with the pricing being set so high as to make third party applications untenable, despite assuring those developers for months that everything would be reasonable.  And then cutting off communication and slandering those third party developers (of Apollo) in interviews, and doubling down when the recording proved that you lied.

    Reddit's management have behaved atrociously here, and the protests are being held by Reddit's users, not the developer of Apollo, who was not complaining publicly at all until he was slandered.

    But sure, support the big corporation shitting on one of the developers who helped enrich their platform, raising its popularity.  They're the real victims, right?

  • Apple faces trademark fight over the name 'Vision Pro' in China

    Yes, Huawei has been using the 'Vision' branding for a while now and specifically in AR glasses and smart screens too, so the Apple name does overlap slightly.

    I'm currently interested in a Vision 3 to replace a Samsung TV if it gets a release in Spain. The previous model was available here. 

    We are talking about well known, commercial products (and not all of them are limited to China) so it is hard to believe Apple wasn't well aware of the situation. 

    It's possible that the issue has already been taken into account. 
    There are only a limited set of English words to describe a specific thing. To grant patent of a word to a company is not right. Especially if the word is extended to a family. 
    You can't patent a name.  You can trademark it, but that can be hard to do with very generic product names.  As such, Apple doesn't trademark "Watch", they trademark "Apple Watch".

  • Sony refuses to increase Vision Pro screen production capacity for Apple

    Contradicting its own figures, however, The Elec also states that Sony is only able to supply Apple with between 100,000 and 200,000 per quarter. That would mean a total of 800,000 panels.

    What do you mean "a total"?  Per year presumably?  In which case, no it doesn't mean that, it means between 400,000 and 800,000 a year.  Up to.  Not "a total".

  • Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 processor is 12x faster than Intel's version

    chutzpahchutzpah
    Very weird headline.  There is no 'Intel's version of the 15" MacBook Air'.  There is an Apple 13" MacBook Air from 2 years ago that used an Intel processor of the time.  Quite why the current 15" MacBook Air being compared to that machine is seen as meaningful in any way is beyond me.

    This is another Apple buying opportunity, just that simple. Most people are still in the dark about the Apple Vision Pro……. But Zuckerberg isn’t he is slowly coming to the realization that the Quest is over.
    I don’t think Quest is over. Just as cheap Android phones and cheap Windows PCs have a place in the market, so will cheap VR solutions.

    Neither the Meta nor Quest branding will be what buyers look to for state of the art VR solutions, and Meta will now (likely) never be able to corner the market ifor high-end  VR or AR, bo matter how much money they throw at it while Apple gets a healthy profit from their investment and likely the only company making it a viable product, which will just further more advancements for Apple.

    if anything, Quest will get a sales boost BECAUSE of Apple Vision Pro as it puts a spotlight on VR. The same happened to the Blackberry. It was clearly the beginning of the end for them, but they had they had their best sales AFTER the iPhone was on the market. Partially because they were pushing their clearly inferior products to carriers almost nothing, but also because it put a spotlight on the smartphone market.

     It’s really over see attached the Quest is dead.

    Clickbait nonsense.  You don't kill a competitor with a product announcement, you kill them with consistent delivery and taking away their customers.

    Ridiculously premature to be making such proclamations, and more fool you for buying into it.  Maybe the Quest will die, but right here right now they're the market leading incumbent.  Beyond moronic to pronounce them dead when Apple has yet to ship a single unit.
