    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I have the Ultra 2 and took me only a few days to get used to the larger size. I bought a Titanium metal band which made the difference. Easier to read and much longer battery life. If I put it on charge for 15 minutes while in the shower I get three days before needing the full charge. My...

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    Well the S is in the shop today for PPF and the Y is on the road so I can't test Watchla for BT unlocking yet. I'll keep you posted when I get that key connection set up with BT. The one problem I haven't figured out yet is how to switch Teslas in the watch. Only can do it in the iphone app...

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I've been using "Watch for Tesla" app for several years now that does an excellent job of tracking my battery state of charge and can even control many functions in the car remotely the same as my iphone. Allows one more key to operate the Tesla. Two months ago they released an update to the...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Went by the Apple store yesterday and saw there still was a line of people waiting to try the AVP. While sales appear to be going well for those who go through the demo process, knowing the price before, I'm hearing a number of people after purchasing and taking one home are having buyer's...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I can now confirm that if you own an iphone 15 pro or Pro max you don't need the Apple Vision Pro to view the spatial 3D video. It's been rumored for a couple months now that the Meta Quest can also view these recordings that use a proprietary 3D format but it seems only the Meta beta testers...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Best way is to go to the Apple store and schedule the demo. They are really doing a good job of working with people to make the best possible experience possible with the AVP. Meet Kevin has a great review mostly from a computer desktop replacement if that is what you want to use it for...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Went to see the AVP this morning and they had 4 setup to look at but they were fastened down so I couldn't try one on for comfort and weight. Apple has you schedule a demo with a trainer by appointment only. They only had one left appointment open today. I watched another lady go through...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I bought the SS model of AW when it first came out. I did replace the battery myself before getting the AW series 4. Upgraded to series 6 for features and last Fall to the Ultra 2. I switched from an android phone to the iphone in order to use the Apple watch. I still have that iphone as...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Are there that many for all the Apple products combined? Anyway, Following the reviews from the first day buyers on X and the major complaint is it is painful to wear for more than 10 minutes. There is already a Bobo 3rd party battery head strap maker that showed a retrofit for the AVP...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    True for now but it's only been available in the stores for what, 6 hours. I don't expect as many 3rd party apps or accessories as the Meta Quest which has been out for many years but the battery on the head strap, I expect, will be a top priority. BTW- I heard Apple claims over a million...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I don't see how you came to that conclusion. I was specific to the option for MQ3 on being over priced and under powered. But MQ3 has better 3rd party choices. Do a search on Amazon and you will see. The AVP appears to be ok for powered considering it is not intended at this point to be a...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Agree! Meta does offer a battery head strap as an option but I did the math and it was under powered and over price compared to any of the 3rd party options. The great advantage of being the most popular device is how many 3rd party options so we have a choice. Anyway, should be...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Like the MQ3, most owners are still using the virgin low priced stock MQ3. Only those who are active and found enjoyment have added accessories to customize them to offer better fit and play time. Mine also had ear phones as the sound in the MQ2 was weak. Ear phones are not needed in the MQ3...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I just weighed my MQ3 with the battery head strap I linked to earlier. It is 870 grams. Verified on two scales. While nearly 2 lbs feels heavy to lift, when I wear it that isn't what I would complain about after 2 hours wearing. Plus, the 3rd party head strap with battery perfectly balances...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Got a chance to watch his second review video and liked it. Interesting how Apple spent much effort on how it looks to others and then it looks rather goofy at times. The advertising seems misleading on this feature. But it was fascinating how it changes Facetime. Wish they would put some...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I've tried the process of desktop screen with keyboard in MQ3 AR but it isn't high enough quality to read the fine print without moving in close. The MQ3 keyboard is a bit awkward about the same awkwardness for me as typing on an iphone keyboard. I am not formally trained typist, if you are...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    The apps for business use and multiple monitors at a work station and conference room table are already there from Apple as I understand the previews. What I was referring to is the majority of hobbyists of these system won't be able to use them because the Gen 1 of the AVP does not support...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    meStevo and anyone else who has the MQ3. Launch DEO VR app and select Passthrough. There are some amazing clips of action in your room right in front of you. This is a new application of AR I have not seen before. One example is of a woman who teaches you how to dance Salsa in 8 K...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    The pricing for a large company is not unreasonable and this was where the AVP was designed to be used. The pricing IS unreasonable for us hobbyists who use them for things it isn't ready to do yet. However, the total market for any new HMD will attract amateurs first who can afford them...

    AppleTV 4K Users Question

    Followup- Upgraded to 17.3 and didn't notice any issues. YT app is still quite a bit louder than all the other apps.

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Apple stock is down on poor reviews of the AVP, mainly the cost and it doesn't have app support. Glad I sold a bunch of Apple stock above $196 and now wait to buy it back when it bottoms. The early reviews for the Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headsets are in, and they seem unlikely to...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Yeah you're in VR for sure. I had a problem with losing tracking with the Q3 and some of the combat games. I bought the Pro controllers and they seem to be better but not perfect. Anyway here is the battery system I got to play for more than an hour on the 3. Highly recommend them...
