FCC Accidentally Leaks Apple's Next Vision Pro

[Flight Plan]

Hiring "only the best people," right?

DOGE probably just needs to re-engage. If we have a government shutdown tonight, that should make it easier to identify candidates for a workforce reduction effort. They could codename it "Halloween Purge, 2025"

What is up with the incompetence of the FCC posting this kind of information online. I do imagine that the person posting these documents that are not to be posted online is going to get fired.

You're probably right. We'll probably find out by Friday.

Literally every thing gets leaked except the Epstein files.

Epstein was arrested in July, 2019, and the very next month was found dead in his cell. The presidential term of January 2021 thru January 2025 gave the prior administration a full four years to dig up SOMETHING. Or to make up something. They did neither. Whatever was there, is now unfortunately gone, and was probably disappeared during the last four years and probably not the last eight months.

Wake me up when there are bad ass first person shooters and it does not weigh 200lbs.

I am in the market for one of these or the Meta version, as long as the games are immersive. I'd love to have lightsaber fights in my living room!

Isn’t this the second time in as many days? Either this FCC is grossly incompetent, or they intentionally leaked it. Actually, both things are probably true.

It was probably a screw-up by one person. Who will likely be either gone entirely, or cleaning toilets, and probably by the end of the week.

Trump is firing anyone with any competence. Get used to it. This is the new normal.

I don't know. I heard bits of the Secretary of War's speech. He's not incompetent. And Tom Homan is anything BUT incompetent. If I only got my news from CNN or MSNBC, sure; I might think what you think.

I highly recommend Ground News. They rate the news agencies as left, right, or center, and they show you what you're reading so that you are a fully-informed consumer of news. They have a free tier. But even their premium subscription is quite affordable, if you're truly interested in knowing the background of the people bringing you your news every day.

Sounds like some DOGE fallout.

Sounds like DOGE needs to re-engage with this agency. I'd be good with that; let's see if Elon is free for a couple days next week! I totally get "government inefficiency". It is the outright FRAUD and ABUSE that I want to see ended, and there was an awful lot of that happening until DOGE shined a bright light and exposed all the cockroaches in the walls.

I'm glad USAID was ended, but I'm sure there were other agencies that have been allowed to perpetrate fraud and abuse on the American people. Maybe more investigation is needed; not less.

Better pass through, a newer chip .. none of that really matters in terms of why it's not selling.

It's way too expensive and lacking software & content support.
Those two things are inextricably linked.

Of course its a reason. If I am paying $3,500 the product needs to be perfect. If pass through is lacking (which it is) it is a big damper on the experience. I view the first AVP as a solid development device and for them to perfect the visionOS ecosystem. I don't think Apple knew what it would be used for really and with this first iteration they saw a much greater use of productivity tools and businesses then they first imagined.

I have no problem paying $3,500 for a badass work computer, hell I paid more for my studio and the AVP arguably has much more use cases.

Apple Vision Pro now with usb c

Well, it’s cheaper than a Birkin.

Maybe a really elaborate one but a basic birkin is just black fabric

It was no accident.

WHY DON'T THEY REMOVE THE STUPID EXTERNAL SCREEN. I can't stand it. It's just an obvious design win but they're keeping it because they're stubborn.

I have the M2 will the jump to M5 be that significant? I don’t really use it, more curious.

Significantly better but doesn't solve any problems it has.

There won’t be killer app on this form factor. It’s way too clunky.
Form comes first, then find ways to fit the tech in.
Oura ring is a good to wear ring, and then they fit as much sensors into it to detect vitals.
Meta rayban is a pair of glasses you can wear everyday, and then they cramp as much functionality into it as possible.

Start with a goggle, doesn’t really matter how much computing power you put into the goggle.
If they put am Apple watch chip into a pair of glasses, and bring the same apps/notifications to a tiny display. Then add EMG to apple watch to track gestures.. it would sell like a hot cake

It doesn’t have to be in this specific form factor; it simply needs to be created. I’m confident that the killer app in question will evolve and eventually be available on other form factors. I’m just glad that Apple is providing developers with the necessary tools to think creatively and develop the apps that we may not even realize we need. They have to start somewhere.

“Oops”
- The FCC, probably

Surprised this thread is not in the "politics" sandbox.

I wish Apple would give visionOS more features. For the price, you would think Apple would make visionOS their innovation playground.

I really wanted my next Vision Pro to be slimmer so that I can drink something with it on. Right now anything I drink the Vision Pro blocks the cup.

Engineering 101 calculations reveal > ....use a straw

 

[Havoc035]

I’m sure the dozens of people interested in AVP will be thrilled by this refresh.

No WiFi 7 in the upcoming Vision Pro or MBP is disappointing... was hoping to establish an ultra low latency connection with a WiFi 7 router nearby. Would have been amazing for gaming, where the current input lag is perceptible.
