Soon after Google announced that they would start making their phones in India...

Google has been a partner of the Indian government for a long time and has spent millions of dollars on programs across the country. I think there is some sort of political bias in this decision...

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.

Nice quoting Jobs, - yet we’ll talk when this has affected our user experience and Apple’s pricing. Tim Cook won’t pay for your new Mac, and neither will this lady. Unlike her, Jobs whom you quote gave us the Mac, the iPhone, and the iPad. How could one even compare an artist like him to a politician whose job is to tax you?

P.S. GDPR is so useless one even needs third-party software to get rid of its notices. Prove me wrong. 

It doesn't matter if you get GDPR. The important part is that a global company can't ignore it. That is real power. I don't see any current US politician operating on that level. Hate it or not, but there is a bit Pelosi to it. We need for Tim Cook and team to get that. The next Vestager is problably not going to be any more US-friendly.

I don’t get foreign politicians prying into American business practices. Were the US to merely entertain the idea of introducing, say, a 200% import duty on all European produce in response they’d have no choice but to cease and desist (and perhaps even apologize).  

Do you really think the US is going to antagonise the EU over Apple losing money over side loading, when other other American companies such as Google and Microsoft (and even Apple themselves on Macs) allow it and are doing just fine.

If anything the US is going to replicate the digital markets act in the future.

As a friend recently put it so succinctly, "The current trend in AI has convinced people that garbage is gold. But then social media has been doing that for over a decade now, so it's not surprising."

Maybe I'm old school, but I've always looked for genuine solutions to problems, not approximations with a lot of hand waving. Which is where I feel AI is currently. But obviously that doesn't stop investors looking to ride the wave of interest.

AI is not a new concept, we have been expecting this technology for a long time.
