  • Apple Maps renames Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America after official database update

    Way to suck up to a dictator, Apple.

  • Apple Vision Pro review one year later: time to exit the preview

    It’s a flop.
    Tech bro garbage that no one wants. 
    I don't feel that way. I doubt Apple thinks it is a flop. If Apple sold the entire inventory during pre orders (supply chain info shows they did) and that was north of 180,000 units and we're not counting upgrades or accessories, then that equates to about 10% of Meta's total profit from Meta Quest 2 in opening weekend. Apple sold an estimated 400,000 units in 2024. That's about $1.4 billion in the first year compared to $7.2 billion in the entire lifetime of Meta Quest 2.

    Tough to call that a flop.

    Meta just said it has lost $60 billion since 2020 on its headset division.

    I think Apple and Apple Vision Pro are doing fine by all metrics. It may not be a blockbuster, but comparing everything to iPhone is a waste of time.
    How is Vision improving anyone’s life? How does it align with Apple’s stated desire to enable creativity and support “the crazy ones”? What is it beyond a very expensive toy that’s bound to fill up garbage dumps sooner or later? I mean, seriously. We can all see what’s going on in the world right now. This kind of nonsense isn’t advancing anything useful for society at large. 

    Tech bros looking to scoop up more money. Vision is a flat out flop. Kill it.
