Technically, Apple allows side-loading too. App developers do it every day, not only on their own devices but they can distribute apps outside the App Store to beta testers, journalists, etc. I've got beta versions of apps from half a dozen developers on my iPhone.
A few hoops need to be jumped through, but they're pretty minor - basically click "I understand the risk" a few times.
I suspect Japan wants side loading to be a smooth experience that works just as well as installing an app from the main Apple/Google stores. That's definitely not the case right now, users are heavily encouraged to only use the official store and there's a bunch of APIs/etc that cannot be used if you sideload.
This is why I save a copy of m content (music, TV and films mostly). Not so much to consume on a daily basis, but to have a record and copy of stuff that I want in "my library".
It was made available in the update that was released today. So you’ll need to update the app and then when you launch it after the update you should be presented with it.
“Toot” to Americans is another word for fart. I believe they use toot because it fits in with the Mastodon animal theme. Which makes sense. But when the whole twitter migration started, it was off-putting to a lot of people.
Reddit is going crazy because they are calling him a millionaire. I’m sorry, but making a million dollars over the past decade makes him paid less than a regular developer, and 1 million dollars can’t even buy you a crack shack in Canada.
Remember, Canada is the most expensive place to live. We have the most expensive housing and internet/data plans in the entire world.
Think logically. Don’t think like childish Redditors.
That second generation model is expected to cost hundreds of dollars less than the first one. It’s expected to be released in 2025.
Won’t have me complaining, there’s no way I’m willing/able to pay $3500 for a device like this, but a smaller supply due to manufacturing during the first year or two will still have the same effect of establishing a market and ironing out the kinks before its more mainstream.
This was totally expected, given the design and par for the course for a first generation product. The yield should increase as the design is refined over several iterations.
Isn’t this type of tech how Apple was able to get no chin on the iPhone X? Cause the screen rolls around to the back and tucks the controller behind the screen instead of below it
I'm not surprised. Apple is uniquely positioned to do Vision Pro. The M-series chips, all the work they've been doing on smaller specialized chips leading to the R1, their history of working with display makers for custom display designs, the fact that they already have pretty good tools for AR development individuals and small teams have already been making perfectly functional AR tools with the phone on...
Also, getting Disney on board for content is huge. As obnoxious as their ability to buy all the content out there unchallenged is, Disney knows how to design interactive experiences and has a huge library to work with. Though I wouldn't be shocked for them to charge through the nose for some of the cool stuff.
Meaning in 3 years the price of components will be low enough for meta’s customers. But Apple customers will still be paying more for the better components in three years. So they can recycle this story in three years.
If you’re somewhere where there’s sunlight, you could play on this instead of the switch. I don’t know about you, but I can’t see anything on my switch while playing in daylight.
Yeah. Travel. We were in a cabin for a weekend recently and I had my iPad and we had our switch, would’ve been nice to connect the two. The little screen on the switch is just too small for 2 player games.
