Apple collaborates with Kim Kardashian on limited-edition Beats Studio Pro
Well all that, and the infamous sex tape lol.robin huber said:Say it ain’t so. That dingleberry on the a** hairs of society has been getting a social media free ride and Apple shouldn’t lend her any legitimacy. The only reason we ever even heard of this Klan is because their dad got a famous killer off scott free, nothing else. They rode injustice to millions if not billions.

Apple is still working on smart glasses, but it's going to be a long wait
Absolutely agree, what they should be shooting for would essentially be a "heads-up display" projected, or emitted from, the glasses themselves which would overlay relevant data over what the user is naturally already seeing through the glasses. Essentially like what we've had in aircraft, for decades, and in more and more personal vehicles nowadays. It could perhaps be something very basic to start, even monochromatic if needed? Maybe something with colored E-ink embedded? I dunno the inner workings, but I'm sure they're working on multiple candidates. It needs to at least be reasonably affordable for any kind of mass adoption vice AppleVision Pro as it presently sits.twolf2919 said:Sorry, but I don’t buy the author’s claim that AR glasses would be harder to build than the current Vision Pro. Quite the contrary: it would need none of the VR-specific, super high resolution screens nor the heavy computing needed to create a virtual reality that includes actual reality as the Vision Pro needs to.
Imagine a pair of glasses that included sensors/cameras and a small projector to superimpose generated content onto the actual reality seen in the glasses. Add small batteries in the temple areas, a networking chip, and you’re done. For a crude example, see the 11 year old attempt by Google. Unlike Google, Apple should offload all computing to the iPhone, thus allowing for much longer battery life than Google Glass (which was already on par with what Vision Pro with a tether 10 years later!)
Apple has a decade of technical improvements to draw on as well as its vaunted hardware/software integration to outdo what Google did over a decade ago! The only real technical challenge is the networking needed to send sensor data to the iPhone and to get the display in the glasses updated in a timely manner.
There’s no reason Apple AR glasses couldn’t exist today. Tim Cook just didn’t have a clue as to what his customers actually want and, instead, let his techno geeks run wild.

An Apple Vision Pro successor may need to be tethered to an iPhone or Mac
Considering that you need to have this attached to the wall or that battery pack in your pocket anyhow, why not just make it require tethering to a MacBook, iPhone or iPad. You could daisy chain the power through the host device and also build it somewhat cheaper not needing a wholly separate M-Series chip. I mean, the iPad Pro has an M4 chip in so we can stream YouTube videos and solve algebra problems now, surely there's enough horsepower left in that thing to run what an M2 is currently doing strapped to these user's faces lol. -
iPhone 15 Pro Max somehow fails to survive having a 90lb dumbbell dropped on it
"There are people who destroy devices to make idiotic YouTube videos,"
Again find it strange the AI staff seem to take others' destruction of their Apple devices, for which they personally, or through a sponsor, have paid for them, quite so personally. Yeah, there's the kids that buy PS5s and smash them in front of release day lines at BestBuy just for clicks... But JerryRigEverything does his series of bend test/teardown videos every week of differing types/brands of technology. Not only that, but often times he'll get high quality photos of the insides for dBrand to make skins with, so it's typically of no cost to him and ultimately serves that purpose as well as serving as a 3rd party verification of Apple's own durability claims. If anything, Zack's M4 iPad Pro video mainly served to verify that Apple did indeed reinforce the structural design of their iPad Pro line to prevent accidental/unintentional bending during ownership (and of course not built to withstand intentional destruction haha). I think seeing exactly how much torture needs to be inflicted to cause such a catastrophic failure makes me feel better about the long term durability of my latest purchase. This is like the 4th article here in recent times I've read with this slant.. Maybe same writer/editor perhaps?
As for the gym guy... If there was ever a poster child for the case of purchasing AppleCare+ he would it haha. Good on him at least for recognizing the actual danger of lithium ion battery fire and taking the appropriate action at least. That's one expensive roman candle haha.

Mac App Store's new game sale has big discounts on major titles
It's not too shabby for being part of Apple One, particularly when that is bundled with my Verizon service at a further discount.neoncat said:
