Just one week after delivering a widely-distributed report speculatively suggesting that ‘weak demand’ might result in Apple canceling production of iPhone X this summer, analysts are now lining up to shift their stories in the days before Apple releases its actual fiscal Q1 performance data for the…

The new LiDAR camera sensor that debuted in Apple’s latest iPad Pro this week is an enhancement upon the depth sensing TrueDepth front-facing imaging array that first made its appearance on iPhone X in late 2017. This year as it arrives on iPhone 12, LiDAR appears to set to achieve a massive install…

Apple’s sales of iPhones in the first calendar quarter of 2020 were down by only 1% in a China market that contracted by 22% year-over-year, as buyers rapidly shifted to online orders and enthusiastically bought iPhone 11 models.

Apple’s wide spectrum of developer tools are getting a series of major upgrades to help coders build better, faster code more quickly, in addition to providing collaborative features to help development teams work together more effectively. The result: more, better apps for end users.

Recovering after a second chance afforded me by Collision Detection on my Apple Watch, I’m hoping Apple will spare me once again, this time from the ad avalanche inherent across online social engagement monetization. I’m loving that Apple News in iOS 17 has a new daily selection of crossword puzzles and would love to see more new ad-free content from the company in that direction. Perhaps the world needs more engagement in intellectual exercise and less doomscrooling through vapid socia…

As the universe counts down the clock to Apple’s upcoming “reinvention” of augmented reality computing with its new Vision Pro early in the new year, it’s useful to take a look at how successful it has been at reinventing the computing platform in the past. It’s happened more often than you might think. Apple has, quite miraculously, delivered the technology world an extraordinary list of world-changing innovations. It has invented and perfected entirely new products and platforms that…

How are competitors so bad at what Apple has been so good at? The answer to this question can tell us a great deal about the upcoming Apple Vision Pro. Apple Vision Pro Last week I asked if Apple Vision Pro can reinvent the computer, again. I did it with the intent of showing how Apple has been unique in delivering waves of innovative and ground-breaking new advances in the industry of personal computing: Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad and so on, leading up towards its upcoming release of Visio…

Apple’s upcoming immersive computing hardware has a ballpark price starting at $3,500. What Apple Vision Pro application could possibly stoke a sustainable mass-impulse to snatch up such a device in quantities sufficient to build a healthy business that Apple expects? Vision Pro When Apple pulled back the curtains at WWDC to show off its new Vision Pro hardware, the responses were so predictable that a middling AI bot could have written them out in advance. From the Ballmeresque, pea…

Apple demonstrated its Vision Pro at WWDC 2023, and a lot of concerned talk immediately developed centered on how well the company could deliver this ambitious product, and convince the public to buy it. Tim Cook has a vision, and as always, looking backwards to see what’s worked and what hasn’t paves the road to the future. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook In November, I wrote “Can Apple Vision Pro reinvent the computer, again?” to review how Apple had uniquely launched its previous leaps and bound…

Apple has spent extraordinary amounts of money building strategic placed Apple Stores around the world. Who should benefit most from Apple’s work: Microsoft, Google or maybe Sony? University Village Apple Store, Seattle Given Apple’s success in building retail stores that customers love and which have contributed significantly to its own efforts to initially launch new Macs and iPods, then to debut the new iPhone and iPad, and now show off the upcoming Vision Pro, is it now time for the…

As 2024 springs into reality, it’s a fresh opportunity to look at what Apple can do to to stay alive and remain relevant as its core Mac platform reaches the ripe old age of 40. The OG Mac If Apple’s Macintosh were a person, it would likely be suffering a receding hairline, a stiff neck for no apparent reason, and a troublesome inability to lose weight. It would be finding itself virtually invisible to young people and, at the same time, struggling to remain relevant in the workplace a…

There’s something about traveling to new places and experiencing new things that sparks the imagination, recalibrates one’s view of what’s possible, and allows association of apparently unrelated ideas like the Apple Vision Pro and Macintosh launches into analogies that can illuminate our future outlook. Here’s what my own recent travels made me think about Apple’s ambitions for the new year. The introduction of Vision Pro, at the 4th decade of the Macintosh, plays into this. Bigge…

Hypothetically thinking about Apple Vision Pro and what it offers for nearly $4000 in hardware might leave you concerned that Apple won’t find enough buyers to support the creation of sufficient software and immersive content for it as a platform. Having used it, I think I can say that’s the wrong thing to be worried about. Apple Vision Pro iPad mini -- both products that had challenging software launches Apple Vision Pro is not cheap. But the real question is, will it be “expensive…

The Apple Vision Pro has garnered lots of initial attention. The company’s brief in-store demos and its selection of immersive clips of content on Apple TV+ are arresting and spectacular. But can this new device launch a really useful new platform for augmented reality apps, and does the world even need Apple’s new “spatial computing?” Apple Vision Pro iPad mini -- both products that had challenging software launches Apple has a pretty solid track record of hitting it out of the park wit…

After a solid month of using Apple Vision Pro, I’m finding the product a lot easier to wear for longer periods of time than I expected. At the same time, I think Apple made at least three critical errors in the initial launch of its new spatial computing platform. Apple Vision Pro The technology Apple packed into its first generation Vision Pro is phenomenal. In typical Apple fashion, the company did not rush out a product that merely tried to duplicate the “look and feel” of an existin…

Ever since the dawn of personal computing, there has always been a worry about how the public could be tempted to buy new hardware until there was enough new software written for it to make it demonstrably useful. Apple, not Meta, is in a prime position to make this happen with VR. Apple Vision Pro is hungry for content Early advertisements for home computers often suggested that buyers would be laying down $2,000 or more to streamline their food preparation. Presumably, the ads suggeste…
