Apple Vision Pro: A work in progress, remarks Mark Gurman

Apple's highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro headset has hit the market, offering advanced mixed reality technology. However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests that the headset falls short in several areas, such as weight, battery life, and the performance of its operating system. Gurman believes that future iterations of the device will be needed to address these issues before it becomes a compelling investment. While the Vision Pro represents a significant advancement, it is considered more of a preview of the future rather than the future itself.

Apple’s wearable ideas include smart glasses and cameras in your ears

Apple is exploring the development of AI-powered smart glasses and camera-equipped AirPods, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. The smart glasses would serve as a cheaper alternative to the Vision Pro, featuring more sensors, AI capabilities, and better battery life. Although they are not the high-quality transparent displays that Apple aims for in AR glasses, they would resemble Meta Ray-Bans with cameras and an AI assistant. Additionally, Apple is exploring the idea of adding low-resolution cameras to AirPods, potentially paired with AI to assist users with their routines. These developments aim to enhance Apple's wearables division as it seeks new opportunities in the market.
