Zuck after a decade and $50B spent on a VR platform watching Tim Cook scoop him with the category-defining Apple Vision Pro. Image
I realize Meta and Apple are going after different markets, but Vision Pro has this feature which means it’s game over.
Just asked ChatGPT — via my research app Bearly.AI — on how Costco should enter the VR headset race. ImageImage

Originally thought the Apple Vision Pro “eyes on the external display” idea was super creepy but execution looks great (still a touch creepy, though).
The Apple Vision Pro relies “solely on your eyes, hands and voice”.

Whatever you think, there’s a high chance you and everyone you know will be doing these pinching motions by themselves in a living room within 5 years.

This is a Swiss CNC machine.

It’s an automated precision tool that manufactures small metal parts and costs up to $2m.

Rolex used to be its largest buyer. But that title now belongs to Apple, which owns 100s of them.

Why? For the Apple Watch: the tool is used specifically to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Will figure out the “why are hotel showers so over-engineered” question for my newsletter: bit.ly/3NthDrq

One big reason from preliminary research is lux/boutique hotels differentiated on showers (spa-like, rainfall) and it led to design creep in lower-end hotels. Image
