Ah yes, the famously successful apple vision pro.

DavidGA@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 18:08 collapse

It may not have sold a lot but it did ship. On time. And it does work.

Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 19:22 collapse

Did it ship on time or did they set the release date after it was actually ready?

Because it seems the Apple Vision Pro came out 3 years after VR had already peaked.

DavidGA@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 19:29 next collapse

To be fair, the Vision Pro is (or attempts to be) an AR device. It’s not really designed for VR.

And it’s actually quite good at what it was designed to do. The problem is that very few people are willing to make the paradigm shift to that computer usage model at the extraordinary price that it costs.

VR hasn’t peaked. That’s like saying smart phones peaked with Nokias, Blackberries and Palm devices in 2005.

He have 37 years of software experience according to his linkedin profile and started as a software engineer. If he’s reasonable guy and still thinks clearly, no late then in 2027 Apple will remove mandatory AI from their phones. Otherwise RIP Apple and fuck him.

mandatory AI

Nothing is mandatory.

GPT is Opt-in only. And it’s arguably somewhat buried in settings.

That said, the local private Apple model that doesn’t train from you data is now turned on by default, but it can be disabled with a single toggle that’s right being the shiniest setting icon. You’re not missing much if you turn both of these things off. It’s basically just janky grammarly and budget dall-e.

discussions.apple.com/…/apple-intelligence

Most of top threads are how to remove apple intelligence or that Apple intelligence is not working on old devices so Apple fucked up their users badly with that shit.

You can’t delete it completly - stop repeating that marketing paid bullshit. You can’t remove models that take 7GB space from 64GB memory devices. People complain that it activates after every update. It’s fucked up man.

simplejack@lemmy.world on 22 Mar 01:32 collapse

Just saying that using or enabling it is not mandatory.

Also, as There are no 64GB devices that support Apple Intelligence. All supporting phones start at 128. 15pro, 16, 16pro, 16e

Turning it off reclaims about 3gigs, but yes, it still eats up about 4gigs for a feature you’re not using, which is not great.

Edit: apparently there might be an iPad or two. But all the phones are 128gig and up.

The iPad Air 5 both has a compatible M1 SoC and starts at 64GB of storage

simplejack@lemmy.world on 22 Mar 05:20 collapse

Good point. That’s really weird that they’re allowing it to be installed on those iPads. Although selling a 64gig iPad was also a weird shitty config. I can’t imagine those things are fun to use. I feel bad for anyone that got duped into that.

monogram@feddit.nl on 22 Mar 07:44 collapse

Really depends how you use it, Orion/ Safari, YouTube, Netflix, jellyfin don’t require much

Why anyone chooses a desktop cpu for their iPad I don’t know

QuarterSwede@lemmy.world on 22 Mar 03:10 next collapse

If he can convince Apple C-Suite that LLMs are not going to solve their Siri problem then I’ve confidence he’ll succeed. But, so far, they haven’t shown that sort of Apple intelligence.

Wow, replace one failing product head with another failing business head? This isn’t 3D chess, so what’s the end game here for Apple?
