  • EU companies are complaining that US big tech is ignoring a new antitrust law

    Never heard of any of those companies. Are they ad networks, per chance, or do they have other hustles?
    I recognise a few of them, it's a pretty broad bunch of shopping, software, messaging, and media.  No ad networks that I recognise, though I'm fairly ignorant about such things. Adevinta sound like they're probably about that.

  • Epic vs Apple suit finally ends, as Supreme Court refuses to hear both appeals

    How does Sweeney keep his job at this point? The losses as a result of removing Fortnite from iOS have got to be in the billions of dollars by now, in addition to the millions in legal fees; and it was all for nought. Surely his one man crusade will not be looked upon kindly by his board and investors. 
    He owns about 30% of it, and they got a lot of publicity.  He'll be fine I'm sure.

  • Apple Vision Pro customers face a 25-minute in-store sales pitch

    Sounds irritating.  Maybe it's for the best that they try this out in the USA instead and iron out the annoyances before inflicting it on the rest of us.

  • PC market decline decelerating, Apple holding firm

    "Holding firm" is an oddly positive spin on a declining share of a declining market.

    Probably isn't going to be so special if you have to worry so much about negative reviews.

    Regardless, this device will probably be well received, but it wouldn't be an iPhone replacement. Not for the next decade.
    What a strange comment. Apple isn’t promoting Vision Pro as an iPhone replacement. So yeah, it’s not going to be an iPhone replacement it also won’t replace the Apple Watch, your car, oven and shower. 
    Many people on this forum and Reddit are considering this device to be the one which replaces iPhones, just like iPhones did for iPods cutting off Microsoft's chance before the Zune could even compete, they hope the same will happen to Android based phones. I made the comment addressing that mentality about it, history isn't going to repeat this instance.

    In my opinion it's going to be a separate niche category and isn't going to replace phones anytime soon, though it heavily depends upon the advancement of the technology.
    Your opinion is also Apple's opinion, and also pretty much everyone's opinion.

    I haven't seen a single person suggest this is being considered as an iPhone replacement except for you.
