Some thoughts re: Apple #AI Wall Tablet #Apple is finally jumping into the market that #Nest started and #Amazon and #Google have built over the past 14 years.  #Apple on their last earnings call said they didn't think they had another #iPhone like hit in the near future.  So the Smart home combined with Apple Intelligence must be their next big thing.  Watch this market change dramatically soon... Glad that #Apple adopted #Thread that was conceived and built by Nest in all of its products - iPhone, iPad, AppleTV, Home Pods and even Macs!

The human factors issues are woefully misunderstood. It's geeks chasing technology... at best it's a powerful sporadic, episodic use device for highly strategic, mostly collaborative, tools and education. AR is the future for consumer. Not XR, VR, or MR.

A look at Apple's plans for Vision headsets and AR glasses, M4 Macs, reasons for limiting Apple Intelligence to the latest iPhones and delaying it in the EU

The Apple Vision Pro has gotten off to a slow start, spurring management to rethink its plans for the device.

If Sony, entertainment powerhouse, can't figure it out (because it's a fundamental human factors issue) neither will Apple. Apple is not an entertainment comp. Vision Pro is “at best” a B2B prod even at $1000. https://www.theverge.com/... I'll say it again... https://fortune.com/...

Apple doesn't have any real technology or UI advantage in autos (& TVs). That's why Apple doesn't make TVs (only AppleTV) & it's same reason it shouldn't make typical cars/EVs (iPhones + CarPlay is fine enough) https://www.bloomberg.com/...

That was what the iPod+Phone felt like to dial a number not in your contacts when we prototyped it. We tried everything to make the click wheel work. It was clear to many of us it was a losing battle so it was one major reason behind the iPhone design - a touchscreen of course. https://twitter.com/...
