Yes, we're already talkin' Apple Vision Pro 2 — how it's reportedly 'better' than the first

Apple Vision Pro headset on display

We're still (allegedly) just a month or two away from the Apple Vision Pro's long-awaited launch date, but rumors are already flying around about the second mixed-reality headset from Apple.

Citing market research firm Omdia, the Korean tech outlet The Elec reported that Apple is already planning display upgrades for the Apple Vision Pro 2.

The nitty-gritty tech details are a bit obtuse for the average person, but the gist of it is that Apple reportedly plans on upgrading the Vision Pro's WOLED (with a color filter) display to an RGD OLEDoS display in Vision Pro 2.

How is the rumored Apple Vision Pro 2's display better than its predecessor?

As MacRumors explained, the Vision Pro 2's display tech would negate the need for a color filter, thus producing much better brightness at higher efficiency than the headset Apple is set to launch in early 2024.

It's not exactly shocking to hear that a sequel to Vision Pro would include better display tech than the original, but knowing exactly how it will be better is a bit surprising given the first headset hasn't even launched yet.

Omdia believes the Vision Pro 2 will launch in 2027, backing up a previous prediction from Apple prognosticator Ming-Chi Kuo. In the meantime, Apple might launch a cheaper alternative to the Vision Pro (which is set to cost $3,500), but it's unclear when, or even if, that will actually happen. If it does, it will almost certainly not include the upgraded display features discussed in the Omdia report, but hey, you never know.

We'll find out if any of this is true in three years.

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

MVP versus EVP: Is it time to introduce ethics into the agile startup model?

By
Anand Rao Contributor Share on Twitter Anand Rao is global head of AI at PwC . The rocket ship trajectory of a startup is well known: Get an idea, build a team and slap together a minimum viable product (MVP) that you can get in front of users. However, today’s startups need to reconsider the MVP model as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become ubiquitous in tech products and the market grows increasingly conscious of the ethical implications of AI augmenting or replacing humans in the decision-making process. An MVP allows you to collect critical feedback from your target market that then informs the minimum development required to launch a product — creating a powerful feedback loop that drives today’s customer-led business. This lean, agile model has been extremely successful over the past two decades — launching thousands of successful startups, some of which have grown into billion-dollar companies. However, building high-performing product...
