    I’m always really impressed on how Apple can walk on a thin line, right in between “Oh, that’s a really cool feature I didn’t know I needed” and “Are we living in a fucking dystopian world ?”

      I see what you did there. (Because it’s apple AR/VR glasses? Get it?)

        This is a perfect example of Apple fans

        Apple: does something

        Apple fans: Omg! Brilliant Apple designers intentionally did this!

            People will just take any opportunity to shit on apple and fans of apple’s products and designs.

          Well, to be fair, there are a lot of nice little innovations that they’ve done over the years of non-innovation. Even though they haven’t had anything revolutionary since the addition of AR through the iphone, there’s always a lot of very well-considered and well-executed smaller design aspects and solutions for things (obviously not everything they do is great or well-advised, but the majority of it is pretty great).

        Well yeah. Mac even had widgets since like 2007. I think they removed them at some point.

        But this supports all iOS widgets it looks like, so I suppose the ecosystem will be significantly better than any other platform

          Yeah, I think Steve Jobs cooled on Widgets for a while, but there was someone at Apple who still believed in them and was finally able to convince people of their worth.

      The widgets do have continuity, so you can have an app just on your phone and see the widget on you mac, so for instance, i can have the Myfitnesspal widget on my mac to see my hydration just there on the desktop.

    Jesus Christ is there no where on the internet where people that actually like apple can talk?

      I think going to an open source, anti capitalistic, anti monopoly, consumer friendly, privacy oriented social media platform is the wrong place to go fanboy about apple lmao

      I don’t think there are many apple fanboys here. Maybe people that are fans of the products, but definitely not a lot of people who love the company

        Well to me you sound like a bunch of whiny babies that contribute nothing but negativity.

          What are you contributing with this post?

          Is criticism not a contribution?

          edit: i’ve been reading through this thread, I don’t think anyone has unnecessarily shit on apple, i think the closest thing to that was someone saying they smell of their own farts

          You’re really overreacting to nothing.

        I hope they take it/make it more serious than the clown show of an identity Facebook gave to VR

        I probably wouldn’t use it bc i hate their ecosystem, but I wouldn’t mind the public perception of VR changing

          That’s what everyone needs to expect. This isn’t going to be a game changer right off the bat.

    Hard to care about anything iMessage-related as long as it’s not cross-platform.

      Yep. All these proprietary sharing features don’t interest me. I want cross platform airdrop.

      Edit: I use https://localsend.org/ for this currently, but I whish there would be a native and open way for ios/android and other systems.
