@fexd the shift seems fabricated. They are smart glasses. The same as smart watch and smart phone. All of which have AI. We aren’t rebranding those things. Meta wants to market “AI” glasses and people keep repeating them.
@harrymccracken I agree and think VisionOS was well executed. But VisionOS and Liquid Glass are not the same thing. There's some things borrowed from VisionOS in Liquid Glass but at least VisionOS was legible always.
@nerds.xyz or maybe Tim Cook is 65 years old and has decided to retire. Who can say. Steve Ballmer retired from Microsoft at 58.
@jwcph I can’t speak to what the default home screen is now but it never wasn’t on the first home screen whenever I’ve gotten a new phone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jwcph the app called “photos” is not intuitive enough? I’m pretty confused. How does android do it?

Good test of how much fast-charging and battery-health settings affect iPhone battery health over time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLS5Cg_yNdM

Don’t be like Amy. Ask the bigger questions like Melanie.

@mindlude I don't think it will make a difference. At this point they are glorified personal smart TVs.

Apple is slowly making moves into professional use with Muse support and the Desktop Mac apps opening up spatial scenes. But I've heard of no major partnerships or 3d creative apps supporting that yet.

I doubt Samsung will have any luck moving numbers. They may sell more but that's just more of them to be returned or sit on shelves collecting dust.

They need value beyond entertainment apps

@ArthurLemon Fare enough. I have an iPhone 13 mini. My battery life is horrid compared to iPhone air. But my mini has two cameras and I use the ultra wide angle enough to not want to lose that option.
