  • visionOS 2.4 beta brings several long-awaited features to Apple Vision Pro

    HeyJP23HeyJP23
    I’ve had the Vision Pro since it first shipped last year.  A big frustration has been the awkwardness of demonstrating to a friend.  While you can share their image on an iPad or TV, it all goes black as soon as you go to AppleTV and try to show immersive content due to copyright restrictions.  Ridiculous.

    hopefully the new share will be easier.

  • Epic's Tim Sweeney ludicrously calls Apple's 'Find My' a privacy hazard for thieves

    HeyJP23HeyJP23
    Carrying Sweeney’s metaphor further, Sweeny’s tracking the Mac/kid moves not Apple.  He could have removed the tracking any day over the  years since stolen.  So he is the creep that continues to stalk the kid with no intention of recovering his Mac. 

    He’s the stalker, not Apple. He controls whether it tracks, not Apple.

  • iPad Air hands on: A return to an affordable large-format iPad

    HeyJP23HeyJP23
    I have been using the 12.9” iPad Pro since a few months after introduction.  My motivation was using ForScore for sheet music at the piano in a full 8.5x11 form factor. (Fantastic!) But I soon was addicted to the large format for all applications.

    I picked up the new M4 iPad Pro yesterday with the nano-matte finish, and…

    Wow!

    The new Pro is notably thinner and lighter.  I didn’t think the silly millimeter would be noticeable.  The matte finish is lovely and kills glare at all angles regardless of the lighting around you!  And the photo displays are vivid.

    Maybe a combination of very-fast-processing and the screen finish, but finger scrolling while reading is amazing.  The scrolling image is the smoothest I’ve experienced.  And the physical finger-to-screen feel is amazingly smooth. But the two together?  Not even sure how to describe the liquid smoothness and perfect response of interacting with the display.

    Love this iPad!!

  • Canon: No camera can truly capture video for Apple Vision Pro

    HeyJP23HeyJP23
    yeah, I’m missing something here too. The canon virtual 3-D lens they talk about when coupled with an R5 will do four megapixels for each eye at 30 frames for second. What happens if you show 30 frames per second on Apple vision that’s rendering it 60? Seems like it would still just be fine.

  • Apple Vision Pro natively supports a rare film aspect ratio

    HeyJP23HeyJP23
     Boy, this brings back memories. I remember my dad taking me to see “Grand Prix “back in 1966 when I was 11 years old. It was shown in a brand new theater that I think open just for that movie in the theater was designed for 70 mm films. Huge theater. And this movie won three Academy Awards with lots of filming in Formula One racers on the track.
