Strive to make it as insanely beautiful as possible! Mac Pro.
It seems that all of the devices created post Jony Ive have been insanely ugly. The only devices which are deemed insanely beautiful are the ones which were created while Steve Jobs was still alive, and also while Jony Ive was still at Apple.
Even the Mac Pro, a brain child of Jony Ive; the innovation behind it is insanely epic. When it was first released, it was seen as too expensive, and even excessive. And now the non-creative nerds at Apple, what do they do? They simply filch the past designs, and just upgrade the nerdy brains.
VisionOS— I totally brand new economy for developers. Very exciting.
Some quick thoughts:
Watching the Apple vision pro film, I kind of prefer the idea that we can use this thing outside, outdoors. Not just trapped inside your house, your living room, your hotel, etc.
Also, I don’t think they should have called it “Pro“. Instead, just Apple Vision.
The very interesting used case is when you are stuck on a plane. The promise of just being able to plug this thing directly into your power outlet, for uninterrupted power seems like a good idea.
Suggestions for Apple
I have a few suggestions:
First, when you are on an airplane, it is really insanely loud. I doubt that the built-in speakers inside the Apple vision pro headset is noise canceling enough to provide good sound. Instead, the promise of using it with AirPods Pro, or even AirPods Pro Max, to be fully immersed when you were on the plane with vision Pro.
Think of more ways you could use this thing when outside or outdoors? Not just stuck inside your home office, your house, your hotel room, etc. My general thought is how can this thing actually help you to become more social, and spend more time outdoors? Outdoors doesn’t just mean wilderness the park etc. Outdoors just literally means in public, outside of an indoor enclosed area!
Sugar “in moderationâ€? Let your kids consume sugar “in moderationâ€? Same as letting them smoke cigarettes “in moderationâ€â€” only on birthdays, holidays etc.
Let us consider that lung cancer doesn’t occur until people are usually in their 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. Same goes with sugar-related metabolic disease, Alzheimer’s (Type 3 Diabetes), heart disease (yes, sugar and metabolic disease can lead to heart attacks).
The goal isn’t to become more “socialâ€, but to instead, use other people as a form of augmenting your own self esteem and ego? Social dominance theory.
It doesn’t matter how “rational†or “irrational†it is. Also ignore the money-making capabilities; you can figure out those small details later as need comes.
Ignore “market needâ€, or even nonsensical notions of “product market fitâ€â€” ignore all this nonsensical Y Combinator Silicon Valley naisere.
Just think … would Elon Musk or a SpaceX or a Tesla had been born through a Y Combinator incubator, or even standard Silicon Valley venture capitalist funding? No.
The funny trend in tech is that it seems to want us to just spend more time indoors, at home, on our computers, or in virtual reality etc. Yet, the real future is physical, embodied external reality, outside, outdoors, adventuring and traveling, fitness, embodied spaces etc.
When I just do as I please, other people feel indignant about it… and say things (hidden or low key), addressing me… trying to take ‘nice’ snide attacks at me?
For example, yoga instructors hate me. Why? When I go to a class with Cindy, I almost never listen to the instructions and I simply do as I please. Funny theory about yoga instructors;
I think they all have a small power trip from being a teacher.
This is where yoga is very disingenuous:
Apparently you go to a yoga class in order for ‘yourself’, and to do ‘what feels good for your body’, but low key … the teacher *really* wants to control your body and they want YOU to do as *they* desire!
This makes me a ‘bad’ student. I like the idea that the yoga teacher is simply a *suggester* of things, not the ultimatum.
