Look for an Apple Vision for holiday 2024. Likely no cameras on the front, no 4k, 1080p using current Sony micro LED liquid retina or some new buzzword. Plastic, polycarbonate frame. No extra straps or charger. Runs the full catalog of vison pro apps. Starting at $1,999.

You heard it here first.

"One thing I know from my years as a market researcher and my time working at Apple during the Jobs era, is that the vast majority of users won't pay money for flashy new tech that doesn't add something useful to their lives"

It’s been three days in Kiryat Gate listening to the distant thunder of rockets landing. Women, children, the infirm are being slaughtered but this time in history those who perpetrated these acts will discover Jewish blood is not free & carries a steep cost.

I’m in Kiryat Gat at the moment, spent most of the day on the mamad amidst the rockets. Quiet this morning but that just means they’re shelling Tel Aviv. New Grandsons Bris is Wed. Waiting to hear if mohel was called up.

90% of people equally served by either platform. Coke or Pepsi. Boring is also ok. Camry's are boring too but folks love them. It's just Apple losing role as innovator IMHO. What's your use cases?

Apple's iPhone 15 is boring. Google and Samsung Android phones are far more innovative. It’s just that simple IMHO.

I can place icons anywhere on my Home Screen. Not locked into some crazy grid. I can even change my home launcher. I can add apps that aren’t on Google Play, I can run emulators, I can change the default app for everything. I could go on. Oh wait, also emulators for old consoles.

It’s good to see Apple driving the industry forward with standard as they did with the first iMac and USB… wait, what?

iOS works the Apple wants me to work. I find Android lets me work the way *I* want to work.

Using iOS 17 reminds me of an old girlfriend. Very pretty to look at but frustrating because she insisted things be done her way or not at all. As you figured, we broke up.

The Allen iPhone comes with USB C, because Apple has a commitment to lead the market in standards such as this.

Please ignore the higher prices.

For the first time in more than a decade, not going to live post Apple event. It's going to be an iPhone. The best iPhone Apple has ever made. It will come in stunning colors. It's amazing & we can't wait to see what you do with it.

"Never underestimate the power of Apple marketing and the consumer," see you next week

I used to work for Apple and watched it lose the K-12 education market to Google. Now it could lose the next generation of fans.

Threads means I now have an alternative to Twitter for a platform I will not be using. The choice is good.

it's kind of amazing that literally every basic chat program today is less functional than AIM was 20 years ago *and* spies on you

A good deal of those years were still at Twitter's height, what's interesting is growth since Elon. Related, the SV elite hyped Post seems to be nowhere.

Genius

Threads deleted. That was faster than I would have thought.

TLDR Sony sold more consoles than Sega.

The good news is we finally stopped seeing nonsense articles about how NFTs are the next big thing and everyone should invest. Unfortunately, those have been replaced with how AI is going to destroy humanity in the next 5 years, after it takes everyone's jobs.

Among the many important issues the supreme Court must deal with, I have to imagine this has to be way down on their docket.

Clickbait doesn't get any better than this. Let's make analysis based on rumor of what might or might not be production supply chain. My very well flop, but not because of this

This just in, if you take a hinge device and bend it all the way backwards in the wrong direction, it's probably going to break. No need to try this at home.

Threads off to a SUPER bad start. It’s nothing but Boomer Clickbait Nonsense from accounts you don’t follow. This is why I stopped using Facebook.

Follow me there! I’m BriannaWuSays

I think that whoever wins the cage match between two idiot billionaires gets to keep all the users on the other person's platform. Let's make the stakes interesting

If researching this stuff wasn't part of my job I just delete all of these things and just post here. The idea of meaningful engagement on three or more services doesn't seem possible or desirable.
