  • Apple's AR headset probably won't need an iPhone to function

    h2ph2p
    “…the initial $3,000 model” isn’t priced for consumers, obviously. This could be Apple‘s way of skimming the cream off the top of people that are so interested and so excited about the mixed reality headset that they’ll pay that kind of a price. One other little tidbit is that this could be like the original iPad… Said to be priced at $2000 (by the PC press) and it was released at $499. It was a big hit immediately. 

    If the “lower priced“ headset is at $1000, then this too will be an immediate hit. That would be essentially the price of the iPhone 14 Pro so I’ve got a little bit of wishful thinking going on there.

  • Google bizarrely believes that iPhone photos can be fixed on a Pixel

    …to be more specific in my comments… the organization of the OS is inferior as it seems chaotic. They loaded it up with games I didn’t ask for. Again, iPhone user, so making basic settings changes were difficult to figure out. 

    One bright spot. Google apps work great (as well as they can since I believe Gmail is poorly designed but I do use it.)

    I’m a long time iPhone user that just got an Android for app testing. Sorry Android is inferior. That’s not breaking any ground here. But hey, this is my actual 1st experience owning an iPhone knockoff.

    They break down the costs in their earnings. For 2021, they had $1.7b for data centers, $1.2b for R&D, $1.1b for Sales and Marketing, $0.5b for General and Admin. That's about $4.5b...

    The latter 3 segments they say are mainly staff costs of 7500 people. If we assume 80% of the costs are for people and the rest for offices, trade shows etc, this is $2.24b / 7500 = $300k average salary. Averages recorded to salary sites look like they are about half this but they likely don't take into consideration stock-based compensation, pension contributions, healthcare allowances etc...

    It's a bit more personal than Twitter. Twitter seems more like it's for arguing with people and Facebook for sharing... They can also replicate a lot of the appeal of reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/top/ ) if they had channels. These can just be tags but official ones and persistent that can be browsed by this tag. Twitter treats everything like a comment but there should also be an article/comment format like on forums.
    Thank you so much, Marvin for the details and the analysis of what Twitter could emulate to grow. I was thinking so much more simply as a free tier - current look - with the paid tier having all of the extras, editing and channel tabs, you've mentioned. Plus product X once it's available. Thanks again for the links.
