A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Say what you like about Apple, but they're masters of holding off on a product until they've nailed their vision (sorry) of what they want it to be. iPod wasn't the first digital music player, but it was undoubtedly the best. iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, but it set the ground rules for what a smartphone should be.
While Vision Pro is definitely a first generation product, like the first iPad, it appears to be a fully realised device that will be iterated into a class-leading product. In turn, it'll push other manufacturers to up their game and make the best AR/VR headsets they can.
That's definitely what I'm hoping to see! The competition can only be a good thing.
The only problem I'll have with it, is that, being an Apple user, I'll be tied into needing to spend whatever Apple deem appropriate to buy into the platform in order for it to sync up nicely with all my other stuff.
