Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.
Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.

“Are the days of VR headsets numbered, or is there still a chance we'll see a next-generation headset beat all expectations and breathe new life into the space?”
Apple has two problems with the Vision Pro: 1) $3500 is too much and 2) No Beat Saber.

I had an Apple PowerCD back in the day.
It was really slow -- specifically, it was a single speed CD-ROM drive. And as a reminder to you young folks, single speed CD-ROM drive read speed was 0.15 megabytes per second (Compare that to today's NVMe drives that have a sustained read speed of 7500-14500 megabytes per second).
But hey, like everything Apple, it looked really cool!

Apple has notified iPhone users in 92 countries about a mercenary spyware attack attempting to compromise their devices.
Apple says the attack is likely targeting the victims because of who they are or what they do.
Apple suggests having the latest software updates, enabling lockdown mode and seeking help from specialized experts.

Seriously:
- log off

- touch grass
- take a good and long sleep
- rethink what you just posted
- undo the harm you just did.

As far as a universal messaging system goes, this has been attempted numerous times with little success. I can see #Beeper complimenting #WordPress sites, but I do not see them creating a universal standard for sending messages.

Apple näyttäisi teknisesti ottaen hyväksyvän tulevaisuudessa retrokonsoliemulaattorien suoran tarjoamisen App Storessa. Tuore tiedonanto jättää jonkin verran tulkinnanvaraa, joskin vaikuttaa siltä, että mistä tahansa ulkopuolisista lähteistä haalittuja pelejä pyörittävät emulaattorit eivät välttämättä kuulu sallittuun piiriin.

Apple has disciplined and wrongfully terminated Apple Store employees who show support for Palestine by wearing bracelets or kaffiyehs because they create a “harmful environment,” says a new open letter signed by hundreds of workers.
“We humbly ask that Mr. Cook and the rest of the executive team end their silence on this crucial subject, and make it clear that Palestinian lives matter.”

But what if you could update the device while it's still in the box? That's the latest plan cooked up by Apple, which is close to rolling out a system that will let Apple Stores wirelessly update new iPhones while they're still in their boxes. The new system is called "Presto."

This one definetively is in the right directiion, it only came 'a bit late' and is way too short.
There is no choice, if soneone wants me to use WhatsApp, AirDrop or AirPlay.
In my private environment I can say 'no, thanks' (and socially isolate myself), but when it comes to companys (e.g. discounts), communities (e.g. soccer for kids) or public services (e.g. schools), I have no choice. I simply have to use a device that supports it.
Still no chance for other manufacturers or data sensible devices.
When my school says (obviously it has the right to do so): we use AppleTV (they call it 'concept') then I can not use my #SailfishOS #LineageOS #PostmarketOS #Mobian Devices or my #Debian #Convertible. In this case even #Windows or #Android are useless because of #Apple patents and #walledGarden s.
So the 'digital market' still isn't abke to regulate itself and still is a game of monopoly.
Still no reason to celebrate #DMA

#SWAT Team Raids #Innocent Family Over Stolen #AirPods Dropped on Their Street
The family, represented by Schock and Erich Vieth, is suing for damages stemming from embarrassment, unreasonable use of force, loss of liberty, and other factors. The lawsuit notes that neither Shamily or Briscoe had been in any trouble with the law for at least a dozen years prior to the incident. "There was no probable cause for the search warrant and had the affidavit contained complete information, the state court judge would not have approved the warrant," the suit alleges.
