So much for the Vision Pro being an independent device. By the time it's released it'll require an iPhone, watch and MacOS nearby. 
Got a tip for us?

It is future tech being deployed at the time you bought it so there are many routers for future tech devices.
LinkSys' WRT54G was a G router with more throughput than DSL could feed into it. Years later it got saturated.
So this time when apple pushes U2 to all phones we’ll all actually be happy .
.I have the feeling that USB-C will not be the great new thing for apple. Many fans will be disappointed.

Wow! It makes me wonder if this will allow taking 3D images like the Apple Vision Pro.
This seems to be hinting that it may be more useful for point to point connections similar to Airdrop, rather than going through a router.
That is one of many questions for me on Vision Pro and whether I can justify it beyond the next tech toy in my devices. I had not thought about how far the lenses need to do stereo pairs but I think that is likely true. I have situations I would like to take pictures but sure in field as geologist but not sure I would take the vision pro out there.
People were not interested in 3D. Let’s call it “spatial“ now 😁
Why should those of us who don't use the bathroom on the plane pay for access to it?
The iPhone is a bundle of features.
Different iPhone models are slightly different bundles.
If you don't like any of the bundles, no one is forcing you to buy one.
Well for me still using my ole Airport Extreme attached to my Comcast cable modem (my own not theirs) so I do not get 6 either with my iPhone or gen 6 iPad Pro. But it has been fast enough so have not worried. I suppose eventually there will be needs for it when my devices function better but for now I am happy
Not sure if you read the discussion just before your post @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ I often miss things when the thread gets long. Anyway they talk about the spacing needed to take stero pairs ane that the close spacing of iPhones and such might not be far enough apart. I would love to see it work as I do not really want to take a 4K (with taxes and lenses) plus Vision Pro out in rugged field where I would love to take geology stereo pairs (one of my justifications for getting a Vision Pro for working with said images. Time will tell one advantage of having to wait til end of 2024 (or beyond) before I buy one. I can learn if this new tech can be actually useful or just a fun toy LOL
I wouldn’t be so sure: to achieve stereoscopy and immersive audio you need at least two mics and two cameras at the same width of eyes and ears. Perhaps Apple will find a way to simulate it with AI but it would very likely be different than a video shot with the Vision.
Moreover, it is one of the features that Apple will keep exclusive to the product to attract users. They sell already iPhone very well.
And we’ve learnt how Apple doesn’t care whether it is feasible or not… does the calculator on an iPad ring any bell?
faceID is vastly superior to TouchID. Not sure why anyone would want it back. I have never once since iPhone X and every model since had an issue being recognized. It just works. Except when we started wearing masks which has been fixed and is done anyway.
"Honey, the phone's ringing!"
"I hear it! I'm just trying to get this damn headset adjusted so I can answer it!"
"I hear it! I'm just trying to get this damn headset adjusted so I can answer it!"
It would be wild if you could pull out your iphone and do whatever “on the phone” except there’s nothing actually on the screen in real life… it does all the processing but the display is entirely generated by the Vision Pro
At least they are actually talking about the 15 instead of the 16 this time!
Well, I still see a lot of wifi stuff that is only capable of 802.11n or 802.11ac. Especially a lot of the IoT equipment doesn't support 802.11ac/802.11ax and/or 5GHz. Even the current HomePod's don't use 802.11ax for crying out loud.😠
Wifi7 probably will do good though for crowded wifi space, 75% of the bandwidth will be used for retransmission.
Oh no, they’re gonna sneak U2 onto our devices again!!
I believe that is the idea. Nobody wants to be wearing the ski mask to take photos and videos.
This, together with Lidar and extended mp cameras, will allow you to use your iPhone to shoot the VR videos & images.
I don’t even know what my Wi-Fi is, sooo, cool. Guess a larger number will be mind blowing in some way.
Are you saying you use every single hardware component in your iPhone?
It was a quite good album, so I hope so. LOLOh no, they’re gonna sneak U2 onto our devices again!!
