How Apple's 40 years of learning & iteration is powering Vision Pro
Sure but is that enough to sustain it?danox said:hammeroftruth said:The bottom line is that Apple will need to have the apps to justify the need and the price for the Vision Pro.Daniel is great at his “Roughly Drafted” articles that are great at gushing for Apple, but lack the reality check of some of the shortcomings that our beloved company needs to be shown.The iPhone was a great innovation, but it wasn’t until it was heavily subsidized that it took off. The iPad was successful because it didn’t use a different OS like Apple’s competitors did by using android to a PC user or a scaled down shittier version of windows. The watch started out as a device without a purpose until Apple found out that the health and activity sensors were popular with customers.For the Vision Pro to survive, it has to have a justifiable purpose. Apple has a lot of people working on the software for it, but the big question is will it and other secret 3rd party support be enough to survive a launch and a STARTING $3500 price tag. We will see by May.
Apple has 527 stores across the world where people can get a demo for free, the only thing that counts is does it actually work, is it compatible with the existing ecosystems, the price is the price and it won't ever be less that two thousand dollars it is a M2/M3 MacBook Pro with second R1 co-processor and 12 camera's on your head, many iPad Pro users will get the Apple Vision Pro instead I know I will.
AVP will almost certainly run most Mac/iOS/iPad software on day one. There are many forward thinking developers who have already bridge that gap right now between iOS and Mac OS, Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher, Notability, Molecules, Elements, Cat in the Hat etc.... (iPad programs that work on the Mac)
To bring your apps to the VP is not the same as making apps for it specifically. Just like all of the apps that first appeared on the watch. They’re mostly all gone now. Chase had a banking app, Uber had an app, so did others and they slowly discontinued them.They have to be rich and robust and take advantage of the VP’s interface and natural way to interact with them which means they’ll need more than a year to get them ready to make people abandon buying a MBPro.

Apple Vision Pro employee training starts very early in 2024
So Apple pays for travel (coach), and lodging. They have a deal with many hotels/apartments in Santa Clara Valley. Sometimes they use The Hamptons that’s right next to AP. Per diems are usually given out if they stay longer than a week or two. Usually they can spend time on other campuses when they’re not working, but it depends on how long they will be there and the time they need to be clocked in for learning.Xed said:
This just in: company does what it usually does. ߤ怜t;/div>jellybelly said:
These are the same employees that go for training on other new devices and travel and lodging will be handled in same way as previous training.Xed said:
I wonder how that works. My thoughts: Does Apple Pay for First or Business class flights for employees or let employees book their own travel with an upper limit to how much they can be reimbursed? Does Apple put them up in a chain hotel or do they own their own hotel for employees and certain types of guests coming to Cupertino? Do they offer a per diem? Is it just to get the training or can they work in some extra time which may include a tour of the campus, if they so desire?AppleInsider said:"Selected team members will travel and participate in an event in Cupertino, California, at some point in the first months of 2024," the note states.

Hands on with HomePod & HomePod mini's new features in software update 17
For me I hope it fixes what it broke with HomeKit. My setup sometimes tells me it has no hubs when I have 3 HomePods and 2 AppleTVs and restarting my iPhone will sometimes fix it. This is after erasing and setting up all of the hub devices. 17 has caused some really weird issues with Homekit and all Apple support can recommend to me is to remove and reinstall all 30+ devices I have.WT actual F?!

Apple's security message: Keep data safe by keeping it out of the cloud
This is one of the most significant improvements with Siri. It might just be me, but I have noticed over the years that Siri takes longer responding to queries and the issue is not the internet connection, but what if it’s the internet providers slowing these down so that they don’t get a false positive mistaking them for a DOS attack? Plus, are these queries using a lot of encryption and what kind of hit does it take performance wise?
I have noticed that some of the new devices have thread capability, so does this mean future HomePods and Apple TVs will be able to function better with Homekit by using on-chip Siri on those devices?
