If this is really happening I wonder what the screen resolution will be on the Air. I don't think being lower than the current model would be acceptable, especially when using it as a large screen for your Mac.
Got a tip for us?

Mine tracked my most recent night's sleep without sleep mode activated...8hrs 3 mins what else can I say 🤷♂️
I don’t want a battery pack. Just let it plug in to an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook for power, media, data, and so on.
I don't understand. What 2007 mobile phone was better than the original iPhone? It created a new category and had no rival. I don't know how that "sucks". And I didn't mention iPad - there wasn't a use case for it back then, and there still isn't today.
probably.
I want a small, heavy phone with a physical home button, physical volume buttons, TouchID, a flush camera, and a home button on top rather than on the side opposed to volume.
That’s not true. The Apple Watch doesn’t need a sleep schedule to track sleep. I sometimes nap and it catches the nap as sleep.
The sleep schedule is for putting the watch into sleep mode, which changes the display and mutes non-essential notifications.
Plus when the iPhone alarm goes off you can stop it from the watch.
And not to forget that vitals are tracked using sleep focus or schedule.
You mean despite Apple selling more watches than all of Switzerland?
And the Vision Pro is not "a failure."
What makes folks think everything produced must quickly become a mass market product? Just the term makes me think about a firm selling mass spectrometers. Does not being a mass market product make mass spectrometers useless? Not in my mind.
The Vision Air can focus on price and catering to pure gamers. Gaming is not the core focus of an overwhelming majority of Apple’s Prosumer hardware targeting demographics with specs and components antagonistic for budget/average gamers.
Apple consistently does not sacrificing high PPI, Dolby Vision HDR, and so on important for prosumers and high-end computer users to chase mediocre PPI to have high refresh rates that budget/eSport gamers are willing to.
Vision Pro is great to do meaningfully great spatial computing beyond gamers.
The inconvenient truth is that a headset good at both will cost more than the existing Vision Pro out of necessity.
Especially so glasses.
Vision Pro price actually aligns with other prosumer monitor (especially OLED ones ultrawide or not with; $2000+ Ultrawides ones without even prosumer HDR).
Glasses frees 4K monitors are at least $2000 and spatial ones with or without high PPI cost ~$5000 with them more closer to $8000-$1000 more than anything else.
My first Apple device was an Apple IIe, i had the first iPhone, launch day first iPad, Apple Watch, etc. I can’t agree with this. Those were incredibly intelligent devices, improving a solution to an existing need. They absolutely had weaknesses, but were clearly state of the art products ready for mass day to day use.
I did purchase a Vision Pro, but returned it. It was indeed an astonishing experience. It was impressive in comparison to the Quest 3 that I also have. But I just couldn’t find a real use case for it. And it was uncomfortable. I did not need to return it. I’m a senior partner in a law firm and have sufficient funds. But I just couldn’t find a reason to keep it. Maybe it’s because I’m an old man now. I don’t know. But, to me at least, there is a clear difference between this product and the others you mention.
Yeah. It doesn’t matter how much they sell, their product is the worst one
I think they added the feature like 6 months ago if I remember correctly. Too little too late
The detachable cable on the right side looks like one when detached being a thunderbolt cable that looks like a lightning cable the Vision Pro’s side.
You can swap it out for a developer cable to connect to Macs.
So you were wrong when you said it couldnt do it is what you’re saying
For most people the previous limitations werent a problem, it tracked sleep when they cared most about it tracking sleep
You seem to hate the awatch, and that’s fine, but it’s the most popular smart watch for a reason, it’s not in any way a failure
/Also it was 8 months ago that watchos 11 was released FWIW, not 6
10 years later and you think it’s fine. You should apply for apple, you have the right mindset
…the watch is popular and makes a lot of money for Apple, both directly and in halo effect for the ecosystem. A lot folks, myself included find it useful. If that’s not fine I dont know what is. It was a pretty big deal to begin with when first released and got a lot better when they focused it on fitness and health after seeing what people were using it for, so sure, 10 years later it’s gotten more refined and better
Are you saying if it wasnt an uber mega hit with all the current features right out of the gate it wasnt worth doing?
I had the 2007 iPhone and I loved it. But other smart phones of the day had user loadable apps, and they had cut and paste, and they had 3G radios, all of which the iPhone lacked.
The original iPad sold 15 million units, even though it sucked. You may not have a use case for it, but it remains very popular, which implies that you not seeing a use case has no bearing on whether it will be a successful product.
Saying the first iPhone/iPad/Watch "sucked" is such Vision Pro-fan cope. They were popular from the get-go and changed the smartphone/tablet/wearable market, even if they were very limited on release. The Vision Pro hasn't done anything other than be ardently defended by a niche fandom online. It hasn't been the "new iPhone", no matter how much Tim Cook wanted it to be. The price is the most limiting factor, but even with a lower priced more "accessible" model, you're not going to see these goggles replace other devices, which is what it would need to do to be successful. It's going to continue to be niche, far more so than the iPhone, iPad, or Watch.
Yep
Any of us who were in lines outside Cingular stores for HOURS to get an iPhone 1 know this very well, first hand, and find the comparisons laughable for that exact reason (we remember it personally and the difference is stark).
It was an atmosphere of giddiness ... lines wrapped around buildings, on lawns, everyone jacked and trying to figure out if they'd get 4GB or 8GB ... or would they only have 4GB models by the time your turn came?
…It’s an asinine argument to compare mainstream product to a prosumer one from whoever started it
There is no non-pro Vision Pro which is launched no different like a prosumer GPU first before the low-end and more imperfect variants launch.
The Mac Pro, Pro Display XDR, Mac Studio, iPad Pro, iMac Pro, and so on don’t have lines for them specifically and Apple doesn't care
