I’m not sure if this tracks for others, but Vision Pro has felt like the most forgettable revolutionary new product Apple has released. With, say, the Watch, it was obvious how I could envision using it in my daily life to improve fitness a

My comment reflected the typical, unmanaged conference Q&A where every question has an equal platform, regardless of merit. If there is a way for the audience to upvote questions that are actually good (yes, bad questions exist) as yo

There is everything wrong with that if that wasn’t the deal to begin with. You’re paying for information and they’re deliberately injecting noise in the signal. It’s degrading the quality of what you’re paying for without a commensurate adj
