They should focus on electric cars. Replacing tiny batteries in thin phones or thinner headphones is silly to legislate compared to gigantic batteries in big cars. The rest of the car could easily have a 20 year life with no internal combustion engine, but most get scrapped after 6-8 years.

If they want to pretend that they’re saving the planet with legislation, go for the real volume.

User replaceable batteries in earbuds would make them thicker and heavier - exactly what consumers say they don’t want.

I think you’re (intentionally or otherwise) mistaken about Apple and privacy. E2E encryption and key data being stored only on device, it’s the best privacy story around. They don’t make money by selling you or your data - they make money selling hardware to you.

I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.

Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….

Is this what is called micro-clover, or does the picture just make it look like that in a tilt-shift kind of way?

Too nutty for me - gets in the way of coffee flavor, IMO.

It is BONKERS to me that I get up-charged $1 to have 6oz. of steamed oat milk in my coffee instead of cow’s milk. Carbon footprint of oat milk is tiny by comparison, cost of production is lower, WTF?

I’m going to have to get one.

12 cameras, LiDAR, 6 microphones, dual 4K+ monitors, an M2 processor, spatial audio.

If anything is going to redefine what AR/VR is, it’s this device.

Yes, they’ll have a $1500 model a couple years later, but understanding the possibilities of an entirely new computing paradigm, and getting in on the ground floor is going to be huge.

Pretty amazing tech, now that it’s been shown. I’m sure it will be a 3-5 year arc, where the price goes from $3500 down to $1500.

IPhones are in the fall. Like clockwork.
