Pretty ironicyou say this when the Vision Pro’s entire operating system and all of its functions appear to be basically glued together by AI and machine learning.
When Apple launched the original Macintosh it retailed for $2500 USD in 1984 dollars, just over $7300 USD today. Once the technology matures it will drop in price.
Family sharing will probably still work in this environment, but if a company like Disney wants to charge each user separately for a film that is playing concurrently in theaters, they could easily do this. This should mean lower costs to view the content. I’m probably off on my predictions, or maybe what I envision doesn’t matter until they have tens of millions of these devices shipped.
Windows on ARM has it’s own version of x64 emulation built in FWIW. It’s not perfect, and it’s not as good as rosetta2, but it’s not terrible either
But there are several other articles here on MacRumors talking about new Macs coming calendar Q4.

Interesting analogy. I hadn't thought about it like that. 🤔Is that A Clockwork Orange?
Apple II was a completely new thing then, along with Trash80, etc... a computer in the home. The very first one! A great wonder!What if the job to be done is Spatial Chillaxin?
I'll be having at least one set for the household, just based on what I have seen and been told from people who have tried them out.
Yah, we know it costs a lot. But everyone will still want it even if they can't or won't get it right away.
Apple IIe was $3300 for our set back in like c1981 - that was some big bucks - I had to fool my parents into getting it so mom could "keep her recipes on it and dad can do accounting on it"
R&D is the fastest growing yet innovation has slowed to a crawl. Apple was innovating and disrupting industries while spending less than 1/10th of what Apple is spending now under Steve Jobs. Tim Cook’s Apple reminds me of IBM in the 80’s and Apple in the 90s. AI could be the disruption that turns Apple into the next Blackberry.
It is probably also at the point where every product Apple sells, and has done for several years now, is at a point where it does everything that users needs, and fast at that, so there's not really much incentive to update, unless your product breaks. I think this is seen especially in the fact that 50% of Mac buyers are new to the platform. Apple is gaining Mac users, slowly, but steadily.
And it will drop further.
Agree. I'd add that people who are waiting for chip upgrades are mostly those, who are technically savvy.
This surprises me. What about the rumors of MacBook Air with an M3 chip launching later this year?
The vision pro enables 3D view which no computer can do.
It’s a tank. Only regret I didn’t get 128 gbs. My battery isn’t so hot either
