Apple's AR & VR headset will launch into a poorly defined market
I’m always amazed at how AI fails to draw connections between data points. A couple of days ago, reports had Apple looking to bring display design in-house, but here in this story they are suggesting the VR headset displays would be outsourced to Sony. Apple works to own critical IP and for a VR headset wouldn’t that include the displays?
For pricing, this will be like the AirPods Max - beyond the interest of most, which will limit demand while Apple continues to evolve the product, and then the price will moderate to get the product into the mainstream. Standard Apple modus operandi.In terms of utility - a lot in the professional space, such as walking through 3D renderings of product assemblies. Boeing used a similar approach when the 777 was first designed to look for assembly interferences before anything was machined. However, Apple traditionally positions themselves as a consumer company first, so a VR headset is a crossroads for them - they are not beloved by game developers which is going to be a large part of the VR segment, so they have to crack that nut with their offering, or plan to be very professional-segment centric. It will be interesting to see which way they pivot, or whether they address both segments together.

Inside Apple's Singapore Marina Bay Sands retail store
If you don’t like their strategy, sell up and take your investment money elsewhere.JP234 said:Insanely great. But what did this cost me, as an Apple shareholder? Betting my dividends would be higher if Apple spent a teeeeeny bit less on these eclectic and expensive stores that are popping up. Apple customers don't need a "floating dome" to shop for Apple goods and services. A mall store is just fine for me.

New York passes functionally toothless Right to Repair bill
A wholly unjustified statement.… it has been watered down to effectively make it worthless for consumers.

UK says sharing Netflix passwords could be illegal
This is nonsense. Terms of service are in the contract and provide for family sharing. Now if one was to share outside that then it would be for Netflix to bring charges for breach of contract. The ICO would only have an interest if someone was hacking passwords and really seem to have overstated here. Yes there are more pressing things for the government to attend to, and disabling users from given locations is completely within Netflix’s control. Maybe someone from Netflix bought the ICO lunch and asked for a firm statement 😉

Apple shares details of AirTag firmware updates
I wonder if this was a deliberate choice by Apple to prevent nefarious AirTag owners from skipping updates which addressed privacy/personal security issues.While users typically have ways to update devices' firmware manually, there is no such option for AirTag. Instead, users have to wait for it to occur on its own.
