the one disappointing thing about this is that there's no visionOS-specific Apple Intelligence features, it's just the ones we have already on other devices - don't get me wrong that's great, but I would've loved a three dimensional image playground for objects or a spatial movie memory tool

hilarious, while the Beats app completely adopts a new theme… iOS doesn’t even use the right color in the pairing modal 🤦🏻‍♂️

When waiters at your favorite restaurant tell you you've lost weight, you know you've made progress 😂

I think The Gorge is my favorite Apple movie yet. Just a kickass standalone sci-fi flick with a crazy plot.

idk what the heck critics were talking about, Brave New World is awesome largely wraps up key plots from The Hulk, Eternals, and Falcon & The Winter Solider all in one somehow and damn is Harrison Ford a way better Ross

Really wild that we have really good Android apps from Apple now. That being said, these two need to share more UI. They look too dissimilar.

I can't for the life of me think of a good reason any retailer would take on Vision Pro inventory at this point. No one has skipped buying one because of where it's sold. And the retailers would almost certainly take a huge loss.

I am pretty sure this is the very first time Apple has ever acknowledged foldables in any way, shape, or form
