I wish the Tech Specs were available as 8.5"x11" (or A4) size PDFs. I often specify Apple hardware along with other equipment and need to submit spec sheets for all the hardware I specify. I end up having to copy and paste the web based Tech Spec page(s) into a Word or Pages document, tweak to fit, then export/print to PDF. 

Weird, why would you have to do all that? Just Command-P > PDF menu > Save as PDF...

Well,  how might this affect how thick a case can be?   Also, what about drop protection on the sides of pbone?  Would that be less too?

What? Look at your iPhone. The bezels are the space between the sides and the usable part of the display, all of which is behind glass. Why would this affect any of that?

I’m prolly in the minority but I think the iPhone 11 Pro Max was a better phone than my iPhone 14 Pro Max because the thin bezels are obnoxious. 

I doubt you are.  The bezels are already too thin.  I'd rather have bezels and a home button - and no idiotic notch/pill.

Thin bezels not only look awful, they mean there's no good way for a case to protect the screen.

Nonsense. What do you mean, no good way? The case just needs to have a lip that extends above the surface of the glass to protect the screen, just like they do now. Nothing is different in that regard.

I can't imagine wanting to return to the home button method of interacting with the iPhone. The X onward UX is infinitely better in every way.

They'll post the notes here, eventually, I presume. Not expecting anything interesting:

I forgot all about the Vision Pro! It's still a thing?

Joking aside, let's hope Apple can keep the ship upright. The fiasco with the Sonoma 14.4 release better not be a sign of things to come!

What "fiasco"?

Apple could reignite the Segway, and it would still fail again. This is not about the amount of marketing or engineers. It is mainly "do we need this". Some industries do, but will most of us really want to live or work inside anti-social spheres?

75% of users often consume video while muting audio. We're social, we do 2nd screening, we travel, walk, and move. Walking or working with a fragile and expensive helmet on your head is simply not compatible with everyday life. 

Ridiculous. Do you consider yourself living inside your TV when you watch it? Or living inside your headphones when listening to music? As for work, not everyone has a social job. I work alone, 99% of the time. 

Calling bullshit on your 75% of users muting video. Also, what does that have to do with anything? What makes you think you can't be social, travel, walk, and move etc AND also have a device like the AVP? And if you were paying any attention at all, the intended use case for the AVP is not walking around with it on in everyday life. 

AR will eventually move to glasses-like/transparent/portable form factors where they can integrate better into "everyday life". This isn't that, nor is it trying to be. There will still be a market for fully-immersive VR devices at that point as well, which are NOT meant for walking around in doing everyday things. 

Get real.
