  • Decade-old Apple Car project may be completely dead

    cg27cg27
    Not surprised.  I respect Apple for not throwing more good money after bad.  The car business is absolutely difficult and brutal.  To all those comparing Apple taking on Nokia and Blackberry this is Apples and Oranges, night and day different.  Apple’s products hardly have moving parts.  Even in EVs there are dozens if not hundreds of moving parts.  Apple is right not to go down this path.

  • Apple smart ring, glasses, camera-equipped AirPods rumored in wearables push

    I have no doubt that Apple explores all sorts of concepts and files patents. Some of it may be PsyOps against the competition to occlude their real intent.

    Apple Ring - feels meh if already having a watch.  A better product would be a scaled down Apple Watch that can tell time, health features, cellular, gps and satellite comms with personal attack alarm. Many schools are banning smart phones and smart watches regardless of the software modes for use in school.. a visibly scaled down version would be great for kids.

    A ring would be a pain in the neck to scale to mass volumes since there will be a wide range of finger sizes. Customer variance in size is low cost to manage when having the variance in a rubber loop on the iPhone. I do not see it for a ring unless reaching massive scale.

    Apple smart glasses? Not yet. Need massive uplift of Apples AI chops first.

    AirPods with cameras? Feels like a massive distraction instead of doubling down on the market segment of assisted hearing. 
    Agree on all counts, especially re assisted hearing.  With over the counter hearing aids now permissible in the U.S. Apple should revolutionize and dominate this growing market.  It would be life changing for millions, and the goodwill generated would be tremendous.

  • Who will deliver immersive content for Apple Vision Pro?

    cg27cg27
    Love the motorcycle analogy.

    I would love to immerse myself in 2001: A Space Odyssey, especially the final gateway and Victorian scenes, and The Shining.

  • Apple Car is delayed -- again

    cg27cg27
    If Apple is working on personal EVs my guess is that they’re trying to put all the pieces in place to time a launch with: solid state batteries; when zero emission mandates kick-in; and sufficient charging infrastructure is in place, for high volume sales.

    They’re learning from Tesla and all the others as to what to do and not do.

    They’re probably also hoping SpaceX doesn’t launch their own StarLink phone, because then they’d be competing with Elon on two fronts.

  • Details emerge about Jony Ive collab to make the 'iPhone of AI'

    cg27cg27
    Sounds like Jony is bored, after all there are only so many donuts you can eat before the sugar gets to your head, and hey, why not spend OPM.

    Apple and others will surely beat him to market with superior products, if he ever manages to launch anything.  The AppleWatch alone will have plenty of surprises in the coming years.
