  • I stopped reading after the second paragraph:

    The Vision Pro looks sleek in an Apple-y way, but it also looks pretty ridiculous. The company clearly imagines us wearing this headset throughout our days and interacting with people as if there isn’t a large device strapped to our heads

    If you squint your eyes, every single headset looks the same. Big dumb block goes on head. Arms flail around. And this imagined future he speaks of has been exactly the promise of what computing could be for decades. Longer.

    I personally gave up there because I’m tired of reading so much negativity and hate for the sake of hate and clicks.

    This is a weirdly untrue comment. The iPod used FireWire for a couple generations before switching to 30 pin and never changing again throughout the rest of the history of the classic iPod form factor.

    And a cable has nothing to do with why people buy or stick with an Apple or Google device. A switch to USB C would be better for everyone and Apple knows it (otherwise why switch the iPad to usb c? Why not put proprietary connectors on macs???)

    Also? If Apple switched to USB C when it was invented AFTER Lightning, you’d be complaining even harder about how Apple keeps switching their ports to get you to buy more cables. Better late than never
