Everyones own milage may vary, I’m not going to argue every comment. Good they can use Linux though - my parents never wanted to know anything but be pure users, so I did the same for them and in out case Mac was easier.

I just don’t see the point of slighting any OS when it’s used as an appliance, which - for the most part with family, is its role.

And Linux is?

I want you to tell grandma how to update her video driver. Over the phone.

It’s also basically a dev kit. $1.4B is not nothing.

Agreed. While I agree that having alternative App Stores is a good thing, I’m not about to jump in myself and use the first one that comes along. I appreciate Apple’s drive for security and I want to see how things play out first.

That I can only use it for this app makes me want to just stick with my miyoo mini+ and not bother.

Another classic @apple_enthusiast post. Seriously, you folks and your binary logic.

The UI is still in there - you just need to turn parts of the View on.

I think Steve would have canned it earlier. The money is better spent in AI and with that training, then maybe autonomous driving might make sense.

That’s some serious spin there in the title.

Interesting to see if its Interop 2024 score will change.

Oh grow up.

YouTube sucks balls, but people still want it and the dev, who made Apollo and is one of the best app makers out there, did what they could to make YT available quickly.

So now you’re shitting on him personally because he didn’t fulfill your crusade. Get a life or learn to program and get off your ass and do it yourself.

Jesus, people.

I updated and haven’t seen it in CarPlay yet. They might have pulled it in the rolling release.

I updated and haven’t seen it in CarPlay yet.

Well, for that you’d definitely need external power so you’re really looking at a dock and not a hub. CalDigit docks are amazing.

Same here. I love the look of the satachi and I prefer their tech, but all the ports in the front? Seriously?

There is such clear anti-Apple sentiment on most conversations here, it’s frustrating to post and I tend to avoid the channel more now. Some will say it’s their opinion that Apple is now evil and these kinds of stories are needed to combat fanboy enthusiasm. But - The channel is /c/apple-enthusiast; so yeah, we should be allowed to be a bit fanboyish.

I used to mod number of channels on Reddit, but especially on the Volkswagen ID.3 and electric vehicles channels there are so many people calling VW a pack of Nazis that I had to put a zero-tolerance in place so we can have decent conversations.

You can say it’s free an Internet and people should be allowed to do whatever they want, but we’re all a bit older than that… Right? You don’t open the movie house and then let people come in and yell fire; you don’t open a shooting gallery and allow people come in and take shots at other people. We should have civil rules on civility here.

Just my own opinion.

Edit: …and I argued for civility and was downvoted. It’s like Reddit all over again.

Bullshit.

Hey mods - does anyone ever look at these garbage anger-engine posts?

It’s not whataboutism - it’s a valid comparison of platforms in their space. Stop acting like your hate about Apple is valid and grow up.

@DAlpha - I’m not sure it matters these days. Apple Vision is both.

Edit: Am way old too, and yet I want to try it out badly.

There are plenty of headsets out there already, and by “most people” can I assume “not gamers”? Headsets are in use for most people and architectural work or design or gaming… Just not for people in general. It’s a niche.

The only reason for that is that there designs are based upon WHO they think their public IS and what they think the public can afford to buy. Their market defines the product, not the other way around.

But like the iPhone, Vision is going to redefine what you can do with a headset, and in that it will redefine who the market CAN BE.

When the price comes down enough maybe it will be for everybody, but for now, it will still be in niche item. It’s just that you’re gonna get a look at what a real headset can do, and I look forward to having my mind blown.

Like the Mac or the iPhone, you can’t tell until you start using it.

Never forget how much everyone balked at the phone because it didn’t have buttons or that it was too expensive. And then they used it.
