Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Pre-orders of the Apple Vision Pro will commence shortly, but before that, we have stumbled upon a few details regarding the AR headset and the discounts offered to company employees. Apple has provided concessions in the past for its workforce, and this year will be no different, which is excellent news if you are a part of the Cupertino giant’s team. With the discount, the Apple Vision Pro will cost employees $2,624, but that is without taxes At $3,499, the Apple Vision Pro was already going to be a tough pill to swallow for the majority of consumers. Fortunately, Apple […]
Various measures are being taken to ensure that the Apple Vision Pro launch happens as seamlessly as possible. From the carefully planned reviews to training retail employees, and just recently, a dedicated App Store for the AR headset was officially launched. The move happened a few days before the $3,499 device’s pre-orders start on January 19, meaning that before the official launch, we should see a bevy of apps listed on the visionOS app store. Launching the Apple Vision Pro App Store earlier gives developers sufficient time to list their apps on the visionOS platform Customers currently do not have access to […]
The Apple Vision Pro is priced at $3,499, so it is likely that out of the initial estimated 60,000 to 80,000 units that make up the first batch, the majority of buyers will take advantage of the Apple Card to facilitate payments through installments. After all, undertaking an expensive purchase such as this is not feasible for everyone, and the mixed-reality headset has caught the attention of the masses, so it is natural for them to be lured into trying out the device. In the end, Goldman Sachs should be pleased with the outcome, as Apple Card loans are expected to […]
CES 2024 was certainly interesting this year; while we did anticipate AI being inserted into everything from TVs to cars, there were some genuine surprises from the show floor here in Las Vegas. Despite going to what felt like a million press conferenc...
The Apple Vision Pro has been rated to run a measly two hours on a single charge thanks to the small battery puck that comes attached to the AR headset. Fortunately, when watching movies, you might still be able to get some juice out of the device because updated information states that video playback will last for 2.5 hours. Watching 3-hour long movies will still require you to plug the Apple Vision Pro into a wall outlet The updated information was spotted by MacRumors’ writer Joe Rossignol, who states on X that Apple has clarified some information about its AR headset, stating […]
As the pre-order date of the Apple Vision Pro draws near, we got to know some tidbits about the mixed-reality headset. During the official announcement, we learned that the device would ship with the M2 and the R1 co-processor, though Apple kept mum on the specifics. Thankfully, according to the latest rumor, the $3,499 device will feature the higher-end version of the M2, resulting in improved graphics performance, which will be necessary when driving those two 4K microLED screens. Higher-end M2 to feature 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU; the same version powering the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air When Apple announced […]
The Apple Vision Pro will have a separate battery puck that powers the device through a single cable, and this design was chosen to reduce the weight of the AR headset. Unfortunately, in Apple’s quest to provide a less heavy head-mounted wearable, the company delivered a more cumbersome experience as the battery now has to be stored somewhere. If you do not have a pocket when the device is donned on your head, then you are fresh out of luck. However, one accessory maker has apparently solved this problem but will require you to pay an additional sum to tether […]
When the Apple Vision Pro was officially announced at last year’s WWDC keynote, the 9-minute video posted on YouTube showed off an Open Sky Environment, with the narrator providing a brief description of the feature; ‘in Apple Vision Pro, you can also transform your space, beautiful environments that you can extend beyond the dimensions of your room.’ Now, Apple may not have removed the video, but eagle-eyed individuals spotted that the Open Sky Environment is no longer shown in the edited clip, hinting that this feature might not make the cut when pre-orders open up starting January 19. Apple Vision […]
Apple will officially launch the Vision Pro headset on February 2 in the United States. The pre-orders will go live a week after the launch on February 19. The company detailed internal information about the headset last year but did not share if the Vision Pro will be available in higher storage variants. It was recently covered that the headset will start with 256GB of storage capacity. However, if the company plans to offer higher storage variants, how much more would users have to pay for the Vision Pro headset? Apple implied in its press release that the Vision Pro […]
Pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro will open up on January 19, with the AR headset officially being available on February 2. Given that the device will launch in a single market, one analyst estimates that it will only have up to 80,000 units prepared, but he also believes that the initial batch will sell out fast due to various reasons, which we will discuss here. ‘Groundbreaking technology innovations’ is what will allow the Apple Vision Pro to sell out fast The Apple Vision Pro has been predicted to sell out as soon as pre-orders go live, but TF International […]
