  • After years of research, an Apple smart ring may be imminent

    KierkegaardenKierkegaarden
    According to the article, this was a $20m market last year and expected to be $200m by 2031.  That is tiny, relatively speaking.  I don’t see the point in them entering this market, or what the point of it would be.

  • Apple faces 500M euro fine following EU music probe

    KierkegaardenKierkegaarden
    Does the EU require all stores to allow the products in the store to advertise that those same products can be purchased for less elsewhere?  Companies don’t make the same profit in each store, so why aren’t they allowed to advertise where they make the greatest profit?  

    Companies typically don’t choose the store they are in — they choose a distributor, which will sell to most any store.  The App Store is a store and distributor, so any company that sells products in the App Store knows exactly what they are signing up for, and they are not forced to sell in that transparent system.

    But you may say — it isn’t fair that the only way to get to iOS users is through the App Store.  That isn’t true — the product could be accessed through a browser.  But then you may say — users want to access the product through a native app because of speed and security, so the web based product wouldn’t generate as much revenue.  That is true — and who created this platform to allow for this?  Why shouldn’t they be paid for developing a platform that allows for greater app engagement and revenue?

  • Sketchy rumor claims Apple has given up on folding iPhone

    KierkegaardenKierkegaarden
    The idea of a folding phone itself is sketchy.  I never saw Apple going for this silly idea.

  • Hands on with Apple Vision Pro ZEISS optical inserts

    I noticed that AVP displays the strength of the optical inserts when they're added (and possibly when they're removed). Is this done with the sensors to determine the strength or is there some other mechanism, like a passive RFID chip in each lens?
    I would think this is done with a sensor, similar to how they can determine your lens prescription by scanning it in a machine.

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

    KierkegaardenKierkegaarden
    What he did screams of desperation.  Can you imagine any other CEO taking to social media to talk about a competing product and why they don’t like it?

    This is why he is worried — users can spend $3500 on a device they use everyday or $500 on a device they use very little.  You might be spending $3000 more for a device, but you are getting much more value out of it.
