Only 150+ apps have been designed specifically for Apple's Vision Pro, so far | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

I left the headline like the original, but I see this as a massive win for Apple. The device is ridiculously expensive, isn't even on sale yet and already has 150 apps specifically designed for that.

If Google did this, it wouldn't even get 150 dedicated apps even years after launch (and the guaranteed demise of it) and even if it was something super cheap like being made of fucking cardboard.

This is something that as an Android user I envy a lot from the Apple ecosystem.

Apple: this is a new feature => devs implement them in their apps the very next day even if it launches officially in 6 months.

Google: this is a new feature => devs ignore it, apps start to support it after 5-6 Android versions

The ad is really dystopian, the dad is ignoring the kid IRL and playing with memories of that kid

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 4 points 9 months ago

Now: the dad watches his smartphone and shouts "more to the left!" while the kids try to play.

Tomorrow: the dad is interacting with the kids IRL, while what he experiences gets recorded transparently.

After tomorrow: "drink a verification can to start recording..."

There is a thin line between dystopian, utopian, and back to dystopian 🤷
