Apples 3500 dollar iphone glasses that comes out in like four months dont even work

https://twitter.com/alexeheath/status/1695883644584558992?s=46&t=JBd6ZXmGQ3LmWL-ineTnAA

quote:

While most developers have to physically go into one of Apple’s labs to try the Vision Pro, a select group has been able to take headsets home to spend more time building for the device. After talking with one such developer, I’ve confirmed the suspicion I had after my own Vision Pro demo back at WWDC: key aspects of the device don’t work yet, namely the front-facing display that is supposed to show the wearer’s eyes as they move.

That explains why no Apple execs have been photographed wearing the Vision Pro yet, and why even the accompanying photo for the company’s post this week on early developer reactions only shows the headset being worn from the side. Siri also doesn’t work on the devices that have been loaned to developers, I’m told. Has Apple ever let people from the outside world use, much less take home, a device that is this unfinished?

Apple is, of course, very aware of all this and doing its best to keep non-authorized people from using or dissecting the headset. The units that have been sent home with developers have AirTags physically attached to them to track their locations, and a contraption on the temple is designed to keep someone from physically opening the device up and inspecting its innards.

Why not just sell it cheaper

Can’t you just let it age more, it’s wine. Isn’t that what people do?

They'd rather destroy the inventory to avoid depressing overall wine prices rather than dumping a whole bunch into the market and causing that to happen. :capitalism:

I don't know for sure, but the stupidest possible reason I can imagine is that they've got loans out based upon the projected value of wine, much like rental real estate does, and that by the loans' structure devaluing the sales price of their wine they'd have to pay off a bunch of loans during the next renewal instead of rolling them over.

That is exactly what happened. Obama was making multiple phone calls behind the scenes prior to Super Tuesday. There's reporting on Obama calling Buttigieg, specifically, and discussing his "future career".
