  • iPhone 15 product mix concerns caused by reduced shipment times

    So efficiency of manufacturing is a bad thing?  Have they forgotten that strained numbers this year have more to do with demand as opposed to last year where shutdowns and other issues in China contributed to longer lead times?

    If Vision Pro is indeed around 450g, that isn’t too far off from AirPods Max at 385g.  I’m sure they are experimenting with different materials — possibly titanium or carbon fiber.
    True. However, the mounting/wearing approach is quite different. I'd say that will require the Vision to be lighter.
    Wouldn’t a top strap help?  I see one in some marketing images, but I wonder if third parties will develop their own.  I can imagine some with an exaggerated amount of padding that would ok for home, not so much for public.

    The first step is to design something that people actually want to use. The weight is immaterial, and up to this point no one has designed anything that remotely works, I think the Apple Vision Pro will be the first one, Apple has laid all the groundwork to make it a success the rest of the competition are in trouble.

    Apples device will show all the strengths of being a vertical computer company, and what that can mean in terms of functionality, design, and engineering combined with an ecosystem to backup the hardware.

    And yes, the second and third generations will be lighter, but the Apple Vision Pro won’t be significantly cheaper, in short it will never be under 2000 dollars.
    Great points.  The first portable cell phone was 9 inches tall, 2.5 lbs, 30 minute battery life, and cost $4k (in mid 80s dollars).  Despite these specs, it was still useful to many people.

  • 'Masters of the Air' WWII miniseries set to debut on Apple TV+ in January

    Looks great!  BoB is a favorite of mine, and it probably was in some part due to the actors — so I hope they found comparable actors for this series.

    I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t go more into dramatizations of historic events.  So much has happened in history, and picking any singular event would be more entertaining than most of the fiction that they churn out (and more educational).
