Also: the "Home" and "Siri" stuff doesn't work. 

wait...it never really does. Not an "outage." My bad.

What’s Ming-Cho Kuo’s batting average for predicting Apple products?

Inquiring minds want to know. But of course, one can simply up one's BA by allowing multiple swings on a single pitch.

 Kuo's prediction accuracy is far from perfect, but he's better than anyone else, which is why he gets a lot of respect. 

I wouldn't go with "respect" here; I think "generates clicks and increases revenue" is a tad more accurate. Maybe he has access to data others don't, but boy howdy it sure seems like he makes up a lotta stuff to suit his own reputation as a "influencer." Anyone have a link to this guys actual CV?

Here's a thought: rather than asking others to chase down his CV, why don't YOU do it? Or is internet search beyond your capability? And while you're at it, compare Kuo's track record to the other financial analysts who cover Apple. You'll find that Kuo is respected for a reason. Or... just keep lobbing baseless comments from the peanut gallery. 

Isn't this what we pay journalists for? 

Oh...wait...

A 25 minute sales pitch.  So it is like getting suckered into a timeshare purchase.

Yeah, Apple has a lot of convincing to do.  No one has interest in the AR space, and $3500 isn't going to convince anyone for running iPad apps in 'space'.

The iPhone solved a problem.  This solves nothing.

I didn't know I had a problem with my phone when iPhone came out. I saw the price and said, literally out loud, "yeah right...for a phone?"

And then....

This is exactly what I was hoping for...so long as this demo/ "sales pitch" is free. When the lines drop a bit, I'm going to sign up for this and go see for myself. If a fee is charged to do so, then nope. 

One thing I've sorta wondered about is if someone will make a business out of AVP rentals at airports. I'm guessing it has "find my" in it; and like iPads used as restaurant menu, you can lock down the software available to a user with a passcode. A large credit card deposit, pick up with a list of movies/entertainment to choose from along with a fitting by the vendor, drop off at the destination (and if you "forget" you can choose a box to be sent to your home to return it...for a fee.) Might be sorta popular...and expensive.
